UI Breakfast: UI/UX Design and Product Strategy

Episode 113: Designing Messaging Systems with Kostya Gorskiy


Listen Later

Chats and messengers represent a huge design challenge: there's always room for innovation, but the users are deeply attached to existing UX patterns (think of the latest Skype update). Our guest today is Kostya Gorskiy, Design Lead at Intercom. We talk about their recent messenger redesign, peculiarities of popular chat platforms, and how to design a messaging interface for your own product.
