UX Camp Brighton’s Post

I attended my second UXCamp today, this time UXCamp Hamburg, and I enjoyed it very much as it gave me plenty of new inspiration. Along with my dearest colleagues Katja Volk and Friederike Schwenck of course. I particularly enjoyed the presentation by Nono Weinzierl on the topic of real-world prototypes. It soon became clear how important it is to consider the entire experience, and to test both performance and desirability in certain, most realistic environments. There are many different factors, such as sensory, psychological, given rules, location and more, which affect the user's constitution during their interaction with a system. For instance: A tool for sailing route planning that is technically well designed can cause major challenges for the user in reality. Especially in stormy weather, at night on a rocking boat. Key takeaway: Do on-site testing! Thanks for the amazing event and everyone involved. #uxcamphh

✅ Attending the CareerFoundry event - Product Design Portfolios: Big Tech Secrets - hosted by Aliena Cai was enlightening. Aliena's expertise was evident as she unpacked the essentials of what makes a product design portfolio successful, especially when targeting major tech companies. 🦋 Her presentation was clear, engaging and packed with actionable advice that could be directly applied to improve a portfolio. I appreaciated the insights and answers to our questions that helped clarify some interesting topics. 🚀 We walked away with some good tips of websites to build our first portfolio on and the knowledge that in ten years we (UX designers) will probably be called with a fancy title of Product leaders 👑 😊

This is my attempt to encourage teams to create Personas and Customer Journey Maps (CJMs). Our plan is to merge two perspectives: the ideal workflow and the actual implementation.

I really liked the talk of Guang Yang 杨光 today at the UXcamp Europe. Definitely giving interesting insights to start rethinking how to "communicate" with people from different cultures. I think it's really important to value the personal history of users to understand their actions. Keep up the good work, definitely trying to attend next year at #UXCamp 🙌 #uxce24

Day 11 of my Metvy UI-UX Fellowship was all about Interface Design, led by Mr. Shwet Mishra , product designer at American Express. We focused on how human-like and intuitive designs make interaction smoother and more natural for users. Key concepts discussed: •Affordance: How easy it is for users to learn and interact with the UI. •Significance: Pinpointing specific interactions using indicators or reminders. •Constraints: Limiting actions to ensure users don’t make mistakes. •Feedback: Providing responses (like haptics) to guide users after interactions. We also covered Emotional Design and its three key rules: •First impressions and how users feel during their initial interaction. •Behavior: How smooth and intuitive the design is. •Reflective: The overall experience and how it resonates with users. It was an insightful session on understanding the deep connection between users and interfaces! #UIUX #InterfaceDesign #MetvyFellowship #UserExperience

I’ve been learning about the concept of a genius zone lately, and for me, it’s a combination of Designing and Coding, By design I mean crafting an interface with the attention of UX and coding the product, By finding my genius zone I’m able to serve better and make more of an impact in the world.
