From A to B

UX Principles: Useful? Or Useless? ft. Erin Weigel


Listen Later

Erin "All She Does Is Win" Weigel joined Shiva to discuss UX principles / UX patterns, and how close they can be to supposed "best practices." Erin gave some pretty helpful tips on how to properly extrapolate UX patterns, and where they have downsides, but how you can still use them properly to optimize user experiences.


Erin doesn't like playing by ANYBODY'S rules... so be forewarned. Vibes were immaculate in this one.
