Oh, I cannot ignore this post without saying something about it! Yes, I have only four years of experience as a UX designer. Yes, I am not a design system expert. Yes, I am not a UX design wunderkind. However, what I've learned while building Guidesight - how to actually build a product and not just design pretty screens, how to transform design into front-end development, integrate with back-end systems, and connect to databases (AWS IAM, Cognito, DynamoDB, etc.), collaborating with developers, testing with UX leaders, and be a problem solver, is something I would never have learned in a regular UX job. I recently said to someone that the past six months have felt like a full-time design, coding, marketing, and sales bootcamp. The challenges life has thrown at me over the past six months have taught me lessons I’m convinced I wouldn’t have learned in many years as a FAANG designer. If Guidesight were to fail tomorrow, I would still have a huge smile on my face. I wouldn’t regret anything; I still won gold (pun intended!) in terms of how much I’ve learned.

Most designers are trained to present work to our peers, but as your career matures, your audience expands to include many other departments who don’t speak “design”. This article resonated with me and offers some sage advice about the use of storytelling and a “business lens” to craft more compelling presentations. #ProductDesign #Storytelling #UserResearch #BusinessObjectives

If we're not talking about design maturity, agile process, or craft, then us designers are probably talking about ✨quality.✨ I certainly see my interviewer's eyes light up when I mention this magical word. "Design is the one that has to hold the quality bar," I tell them. But what if that didn't have to be true? For a truly high-quality product, I don't think it should be design holding the line. It has to be something baked into the organization - everyone holds the quality bar. Even though "quality" is a slippery thing to define, if we can define it and hold ourselves to it, we can reduce the tension in the org and start to think less about the mere baseline quality for the product and more about raising that bar - delighting the user. I very much enjoyed Luke Anthony Firth's take on how they folded quality into their product building process. Have a read! https://lnkd.in/g4SenmYZ #designleadership #productprocess #productdesign #productquality #designquality #opentowork
