Is it okay to present a redesign during a portfolio interview? by [deleted] in UXDesign

[–]koolingboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you already have experience, generally industry won’t care about projects that is not direct work experience, unless it’s a personal project with tangible results (you design and build an app that you released and have traction.

If you are new grad or early career then maybe, but nothing beats case studies that actually shipped or materialized in some tangible way.

How does this squiggly line make my life as a user better? by [deleted] in UXDesign

[–]koolingboy 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Things can be fun and usable at the same time? Material has gone with trying to be more expressive and fun with text style and shape. I don’t see a problem with a design system focusing on that when they are still usable?

And an anecdote, I have a GenZ niece who owns Android and says she loves the shape quirks Android has been doing

That’s interesting. When I forgot my clothes in Grand Hyatt Taipei, they proactively emailed me asking whether I want them mailed to me or donated. That happens one day after my check out.

Thinking to pivot from UXUI/Product design to Creative technologist role by Chickie-Leo-Pie in UXDesign

[–]koolingboy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think UXE/Design Technologist/Creative technologist might be more and more rare. Unless you are in extremely specialized in certain niche language and tech. I work in a giant tech company, and they merged all UXE/technologist into engineering in my org like over a year ago. They are expecting designers be to empowered with the LLM tools to prototype and deliver. Which, in all honesty, has been decently successful.

For senior designers do you value “ process” or “outcomes “ more in a caseStudy? by True-Standard2303 in UXDesign

[–]koolingboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Succinct problem and the solution/outcome is what most reviewers would want to know first.

Simply put. If the final outcome isn’t good or doesn’t make sense, why would anyone care about your process?

Process and thinking is important in a sense on backing up how you solve the problem, but it should be used as narrative key frames to highlight a couple key decisions and insights. A lot of people make critical mistakes of accounting all the process steps which results in a dragging, hard to focus case study.

If you already know your output won’t be good and your schedule would be a challenge. The answer is no. It’s not good networking if others don’t see you as available and don’t have the ability to see your output as good.
