We’re a mid size scale up with a mobile app and web platform. We’ve built UX flows that are simple, clear, and follow intuitive cross-platform patterns. We’ve invested time in simplifying both the product and what users need to do to accomplish their goals. Plus we stay close to our customers and have pretty standard instrumentation to understand how the apps are used, so are able to quickly zero in on friction. We’ve focused our efforts on delivering outcomes for users to a quality standard that’s exemplified by our reviews like 4.9/5 on the Apple App Store. But, in maintaining a consistent ..read more

This was going viral on LinkedIn. I understand the value of trauma-informed design, but this feels a bit melodramatic. I think there’s a threshold of what trauma can be accommodated by apps in certain spaces. Like, I could understand if this was MyFitnessPal or something else in the health/security space; however, getting triggered by a sarcastic cartoon owl telling you to practice Spanish feels like something that should be addressed by a therapist. Not a UX designer. P.S. please do not go find and harass this person. I anonymized it for a reason. It has over 1000 engagements, though, s ..read more

I recently went through the initial interview stages for a job, and was asked to do a project to showcase my skills. Basically the project was redesigning one page of their app that has a currently outdated design. Not a ton of context around user data or anything, but I ended up being happy/proud of my end result, and I feel that I made some well-informed design decisions overall. I ultimately was not selected for the role (I did ask if they had any feedback to provide on my design and have yet to hear back), but I still feel that it could be a good portfolio piece. Is it a weird/bad idea to ..read more

Currently struggle with developers creating their own components or not reusing what we already have built. How do you maintain consistency across production? What is your process for introducing new components? How do you keep track of all the components on production? submitted by /u/naokiyamada [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Does anyone have a good resource for what certain components are called? Or a visual dictionary for components. Some of my learning struggle comes from not knowing what to search when I’m trying to design specific components. For example, most of us can agree what a card is, but searching for a swipe up menu yields wildly different results. Looking through this sub I found uxdictionary.io which is a good start for basic UX terms. This is mostly abstract terms about research, user flows, etc with less info about actual components. I’ve also searched through Google’s material design library and ..read more

I'm a UX designer and I've worked for 4 years in a UX agency and 1 year at a startup. Both experiences come with a fast paced environment and stress but I love the small team, the ability to jump into other roles and freedom to make decisions fast. Now I'm considering the next step in my career and I'm wondering if I should aim for larger companies next. One thing I definitely know is that I do not want to work agency side again ? So what's your favourite size/type of company to work for? What are the pros and cons? Thanks! submitted by /u/AIVI2020 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi r/UXDesign, I wanted to bring up a discussion around the placement of designers at the strategic table. In the company I’m currently working at we try to have a consulting type of role when talking to clients or in projects. This can be in design itself or in roadmaps or project prioritization. I’ve seen some companies mostly do implementation or fully consultancy. My question is: what do you do and why? I believe being at the strategic table can be quite demanding and can sometimes diminish or slow down project work. But sometimes fully pushing pixels or projects can also do so. What are ..read more

I'm currently interviewing with an agency for a UX Strategist role. The next step is an assessment, wherein I am to conduct a UX audit on a website that this agency has already been working on (so I'm not doing free work, thankfully). We all know majority of an audit hinges on gathering data, stakeholder interviews, and understanding the business objectives and user objectives. The trouble I am having is that I'm not sure where to start, since I am not privy to that information for the purposes of this assessment. The instructions from the recruiter are as follows: Audit the UX/UI and any ot ..read more

I’ve been working as a designer for about 4 years and I know enough to get my work done. However, I would love to continue learning best practices, new ideas, new work flow efficiencies, etc etc. I don’t think I’m in a place where I need a course or certification, but more casual learning like youtube videos to watch over lunch or a book or blog I can pick up on the weekends. Does anyone have any resources or media that they could recommend? YouTube channels, accounts to follow on social media, Substacks or really whatever for casual consumption.
