In next week’s UX Fika meet-up we’ll discuss the power of storytelling in the UX design process. This will be a visual one with lots of examples, working directly into Miro. We’ll be covering 3 areas in our discussions: 1. How storytelling can be used as a strategic power tool to think through and map out end-to-end experiences. 2. How narrative structure can be applied to pages and views to improve conversion and engagement. 3. How storytelling methods can be applied not only to understand users but also the people you work with and for. The meetup takes place over Zoom on Monday 4 November, 8-9pm CET (note we're on winter time now). Link to sign up in the comments. Hope to see you there! ~ I’m Anna and I help companies, teams and individuals apply the power of storytelling to the work they do and to how they communicate and present it.

"Keep it simple," they said. 🤔 But designing for Gen Z taught me otherwise. 🎨 Working on Interacts, our collaborative platform for students, I discovered: Gen Z doesn't want simple. They want REAL. 💯 🔍 They crave depth, not just snackable content. 🤝 They value inclusivity and accessibility by default. 🎨 They appreciate imperfection over polished facades. My approach shifted: 🔄 • Prioritize authenticity over sleek design ✨ • Encourage critical thinking within the UX 🧠 • Keeping Functionality over aesthetics. ⚙️ Gen Z challenged me to be a better designer. 🚀 How has designing for younger users changed YOUR perspective? 🤔 #UXDesign #GenZDesign #ProductDevelopment #AuthenticDesign #UserExperience #DigitalInclusion

This is nice. We have combined our efforts to tell a few stories about our expertise in design. Why is this important? Design is often seen as a one-time service while in reality, it is a set of tools to help brands craft their communication strategy. Using those tools - design consulting, development proofing, UX research, and user personas, we looked for questions, for example, how to highlight the better quality of medical images from devices that come with new probes. Sounds interesting? See my comment to check the outcome of this and other cases.👇

🤝 Why is empathy important in design? Empathy is more than just understanding – it's about truly stepping into your user's shoes. In the realm of #DesignThinking, empathy means experiencing the world from the user's perspective and connecting deeply with their needs and desires. It's not just about sympathy; it's about genuine connection. 🌍💡 🔍 Why is Empathy Crucial in Design and Innovation? Design thinking revolves around the user. To craft solutions that resonate, we must deeply understand their emotions, challenges, and aspirations. #HumanCentredDesign Users may not always voice their needs or even be aware of them. Empathy enables us to discover these latent needs and pain points, leading to more effective designs. #UserExperience By truly understanding the user, designers can develop innovative solutions that might not have been considered otherwise. Empathy fuels creativity and innovation. #Innovation Enhancing User Satisfaction: Solutions developed with empathy are more likely to align with user expectations and achieve higher satisfaction rates. #CustomerSatisfaction 🌐 Empathy isn’t just a tool; it's the bridge that connects problem solvers with the people they aim to serve. Are you using this bridge effectively? 👉 Check out the Empathy Canvas: a tool to help you better understand your users If you want help in up-skilling your UX team, get in touch! #DesignThinking #EmpathyInDesign #UXDesign #InnovationManagement #CreativeSolutions
