🙌 Hey there! Have you ever wondered how subtle hints can shape user decisions? In my latest carousel post, I dive into the magic of priming—a technique that uses small cues to create big impacts. From welcoming messages that make users feel at home to motivational quotes that inspire fitness journeys, priming is all about creating intuitive and enjoyable experiences. Have you noticed priming in your favorite apps or websites?

🧠 Ben’s Friday Psych Bite: Familiarity Bias Ever feel like you instinctively know how to use a new app without a tutorial? You’re not alone, Familiarity Bias is at play! People naturally gravitate toward experiences that feel familiar. When you switch between your five different streaming apps, notice how the layout and controls feel nearly identical? That’s no coincidence, Familiarity Bias ensures we prefer things that don’t require much mental effort to figure out. Consider this: Could you imagine a different icon for “Play”? Would progress bars work if they didn’t use a familiar, linear line? And would “Episodic Videos” be as easy to find as “TV Shows”? Probably not—because these patterns are ingrained in our minds through years of use. So how can you use this when designing your next product feature? 👉 Start by thinking about the task at hand. How have users completed this before? 👀 Look beyond apps, how is this task done in everyday life? ▶️ Are there universal symbols or processes tied to this task? Remember, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes, sticking to what people already know is the key to success. #ux #psychology #product #design #designthinking Illustration by Jake Fleming

❌ I uninstalled Instagram a few months ago. But whenever I felt bored or anxious, my fingers would instinctively navigate to the spot where the icon used to be. ⁉️ Tap. Realize it’s gone. Close the wrong app. It’s not just about addiction. ↪️ This automatic behavior happens because our brains create neural maps, shortcuts built on habit and repetition. It’s why rearranging apps on your phone or jars in your kitchen leaves you reaching for the wrong item. For UX design, this behavior is noteworthy! 💡 Designing intuitive experiences means understanding muscle memory and habit formation. Placement consistency, predictable flows, and minimal friction keep users feeling in control. ✔️ Small design choices impact big user actions. Let’s make those taps count. Have you experienced this click-first, think-later habit? #UXDesign #UserBehavior #MuscleMemory #IntuitiveDesign #UXLessons #HumanCenteredDesign #NeuroscienceInUX

Priya: Where were you last night? 👀 Me: Ghosting like a pro(Read it from notifications, but never opened the chat) But what if… your cover was blown? Introducing "Read from Notifications" – a feature that lets you sneak a peek without opening the app. But imagine if apps notified the sender that you saw their message from notifications itself! No more silent ghosting—just pure chaos. Designed this fun UX feature. What do you think? Would you love it or hate it? Let’s debate! 😆 (Attaching my design screens) #UXDesign #UIDesign #ProductDesign #UserExperience #DesignThinking #MobileUX #Innovation #NewFeature #FunnyUX #Ghosting #Notifications #UXHumor #TechDesign #DesignInspiration #UIUX #UXTrends #LinkedInCreators

The Information Architecture (IA) of the MoodCare Mood Tracker App is designed to create an intuitive and seamless user experience by logically organizing the app’s features and content. The IA focuses on making core functions like mood logging, AI-based exercises, daily tips, and therapist access easily accessible while providing a clean, minimalistic navigation structure. The structure is on a minimal level, as we're only putting more focus into the main features of the app. Next up, we will be moving onto the wireframing phase of the case study Open for design gigs 🤝 #uxfoundry #informationarchitecture #uxcasestudy #career #userresearch

🚀 In 2010, YouTube had 800M active users streaming over 2B videos daily, but internally, they were flying blind about user behavior. This tweet explains their journey to unravel the mystery behind the user behavior: https://lnkd.in/eP8H9m-Z A game-changer was when Kerry Rodden, Google’s first Quantitative UX Researcher, joined YouTube and asked the crucial question: "How are people actually using YouTube?" Kerry’s insights showed that less than half of sessions started on the homepage, prompting them to pivot towards personalized recommendations. This shift was pivotal in making YouTube a leading mobile video app. This story is a testament to the power of understanding users. Data-driven insights not only illuminate user behavior but can also transform products and strategies. 🔍📊 Remember, understanding your users qualitatively and quantitatively can reveal gaps, unexpected behaviors, and opportunities for innovation. #UserExperience #DataDriven #ProductInnovation #YouTubeTransformation #UXResearch

Celebrating Wins in User Experience 🎉 I recently discovered an app that goes beyond just reminding users of their daily tasks. It actually celebrates their wins—big or small! Every time I completed a task, I received a message like "You crushed it today!" It felt like having a personal cheerleader. 🥳 Recognition and positive reinforcement are powerful tools in keeping users motivated. When users feel acknowledged, they’re much more likely to stick with your product. ✨ Build recognition into your user flows! Celebrate those small victories—whether it’s completing a task, reaching a milestone, or even logging in regularly. Every bit counts! What about you? What’s the best way you’ve seen user recognition done? #UserExperience #DesignThinking #ProductDesigner #UXDesigner

Using a background sourced from Google, I meticulously designed and prototyped every other element to create an engaging and smooth user experience. #UIUXDesign #Prototyping #GameDesign #FlappyBird #Day14Challenge #DesignInnovation #UserExperience #AppDesign #GamingApp #CreativeDesign #DesignChallenge #UXPrototyping
