Some highlights from our conversation with Femke about streamlining our Figma workflows. Key takeaways to keep the handoff to devs organised and clear 🎨 • Separate design exploration from dev-ready assets. • Put the dev-ready assets at the top of Figma files. • Hand off in milestones. • Use Figma’s built-in dev tools.

User experience design is an innately “human” practice: it's humans striving to cater to the needs and behaviours of other humans. So what role does AI play in that relationship, and do we want it to play one at all? In this blog, Cees de Gooijer delves into the opportunities (and risks) of AI designing human experiences >> https://hubs.la/Q02F_4jW0

Nick's Journey: From Side Gig to Thriving UX Design Business Nick Groeneveld is on a mission to change how design is viewed, aiming to shift perspectives and emphasise its impact on everyday life. "Too many of them [designers] get caught up doing flashy landing pages, gradients, and pretty Figma mockups. That makes clients think design is all about the shiny surface. I'm focused on delivering real user experience that actually works for people." Read all about Nick's entrepreneurial journey here 👇 https://lnkd.in/emsehB-t

🤔 Should design decisions be based on current trends or long-term user needs? Our awesome Senior UX Designer, Sorin, tackled this question. What do you think? Share your thoughts below! ⬇️ 💬 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧'𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫: "People want what is popular. They want to fit in. They want to be relevant and stay up with the times. But is that also what they need? This is where user research focused on understanding users, their environment and challenges is vital for designers and businesses to make informed solution proposals. However, there's a different dimension here, the business dimension. And reality is that trend is something that generates demand, which in turn, generates financial opportunity.  Considering the primary designation of a designer is to assist business operations, the answer is, as with all things design: “It depends". Depending on individual context, you may need to balance out trend with user needs to come up with a viable solution that is both profitable and adds value to people."

Why Minor Design Choices Matter: Did you know that even small design tweaks can lead to user frustration? This often results in low satisfaction and high churn rates. A/B testing lets you identify the features that make or break user satisfaction. Ready to set your product free and unleash its full potential?

We loved Juxtopposed’s redesign of the MKBHD Inc. Panels app. Here are the 3 Key Takeaways every Product Manager can use today. 📺 Video link in the comments __ 1️⃣ - Onboarding Needs to be Easy Once a user downloads an app, creates and account, or even find your site they've already done some discovery work and want to get into the good stuff of actually using a product. Asking a user to complete multiple steps that don't quite make sense, or require extra research, will cause a drop-off in onboard completion rates. If a user closes the session without completing the onboarding process they're less likely to return. Keep it easy and short, once a user feels setup they can then explore further. 2️⃣ - Become the Customer, Understand the Decisions Run through the process of getting set up, from discovery through to payment and beyond. What questions do you ask, what's annoying, what wouldn't make sense. As a PM it's so easy to get caught in the weeds of day-to-day product life that a step can seem obvious (it might be a button you tap without even realising). If you've done the process 100's of times for demos, testing, and debugging you might not realise what the customer actually thinks in the moment. Empathise and become the customer. 3️⃣ - Consistency is Key Your product styling and process needs to be the same throughout the entirety of the product. Headings should replicate one another, progress buttons should look the same, etc etc. It's easy (especially when an app becomes responsive with screen size) that consistency gets lost in the mix. As a PM focus on the details when playing with your product on every screen-size available to you. Consistency will make a user feel comfortable and in control 😎 #product #productmanagement #productdesign
