this article is not about this first step - admitting that ux needs to be fostered - but more about the second: now that I've realised ux is important, how do I set up my ux team / department in my organisation?
If you are starting your UX team or scaling it up, it’s worth thinking about the UX profiles that would better match your current requirements. And I’m not talking about the UI designer and the UX researcher… There are many more profiles out there.
it’s a fact that often clients have but a rough idea of what they want. it may even come across as confusing and contradicting when they express it. but as ux designers we have to deal with “not knowing” and go on a mission to find it out.
making a positive impact as a ux designer starts with the choice of your employer. yes, what you do on your job matters, but it will be greatly influenced by the agenda of those who hired you. unfortunately, many people are still oblivious to this fact.
I picked the brains of 3 fellow developers to convey to you what is special about their way of thinking and how it turns out to be helpful in ux.
do you know how a computer works? if so, you are close to understanding how your brain works as well. and why is it so important to ux? all clues are revealed here!
designers are trained to think about the people they are designing for. for non-designers the key is to think about the people, the context of use, and the harmony they should experience while using the product.
the increasing popularity of ux as a profession gave rise to an overwhelming offer of ux related courses. but where should you start from? which are the building blocks of ux?
the motivation to become a ux designer may differ from person to person and where you are in your career. the important thing here is to identify the why - what is it about this profession that you find meaningful and fulfilling?
we won’t bug you too much, just sporadic updates on our ux content and resources.
