What the UX?

UX’ers frequently find themselves in the position of needing input from multiple people. But do workshops live up to their hype? We discuss the good and the bad of facilitating and participating in workshops.

In this episode, we explore how we create compelling narratives that make our UX work more engaging and persuasive.

From annotating designs to documenting and sharing research, we discuss the benefits and pitfalls of documenting the design process.

Is failing to prepare, preparing to fail? Is the idea of failure even helpful?

We explore what innovation really means and where it misses the mark when organisations create ‘separate’ innovation teams.

We explore the different ways in which we gather as design teams, why they’re important and how they boost design culture.

How important is a portfolio? What purpose does it serve? How do you create one? All this along with our regular banter and UX of the Week stories.

In a world of titles and design levels, we discuss some of the more practical differences between Junior, Mid and Senior Designers.

We explore the the organisation of our design files. Do you name your layers? Do you strive for pixel perfection? We talk about whether it’s truly possible to sync our designs with production - and whether it's something we should even be aiming for.

We explore AB testing: What is it? Where does it fit? And, are we putting too many eggs in the basket of optimisation?
