In an essay I wrote, "only unaware practitioners use made-up #personas in their design work".
I think I know why this is done.

There is a difference between #characters and #archetypes. You can make up characters, as long as each character is based on a researched archetype.

People who make up personas are actually making up characters, but they make these characters without any grounding. There are usually no researched archetypes.

1. Refactoring UI by @steveschoger and @adamwathan
The book is full of practical, directly applicable design knowledge greatly illustrated by bad and good examples.

2. Practical UI by @AdhamDannaway
Adham’s book complements Refactoring UI really well: there are a lot of additional aspects included, for instance next to visual design, it heavily focuses on usability and accessibility, too.

Whilst playing around with glass morphism, I designed a translucent card and icons. KCB might never reply but I would love to hear your thoughts on this redesign🤔

A discussion on the state of Digital PERSONALIZATION on the Internet.

I was watching the Personalization versus Customization video on the Nielsen Norman Group YouTube channel (). Looking from the lens of social psychology, I think a video on Personalization versus Comparison (Comparative Personalization) would sketch
the future roadmap of digital communication design. This is because I've been thinking about the many ways personalization can be taken advantage of socio-politically at a global level while watching the video 'How short-form video is rotting your brain?'

In the understand phase, we put ourselves in the users’ shoes and understand their likes & dislikes, context, needs, pain points, etc.
Meanwhile, we learn about the business: What is the money-making model? What are the metrics to measure business success?

In the Define phase, we work with the team, especially the product manager to discover problems and opportunities.
The ability to gather insights, synthesize data, and abstract input to a problem is very important.

The Designer is the most misunderstood role in Product.
And yet, their work is crucial for a team's success.
Over the years, I've observed 2 toxic patterns: 🧵

And yet, their work is crucial for a team's success.
Over the years, I've observed 2 toxic patterns: 🧵
#productmanagement #uxdesign
1. There is no Designer on the team.
Sometimes there might be some UI guy who takes care of selecting stock photos or modifying the CSS styles. But in reality, the usability of the product is not taken seriously by anyone.
So the usability sucks.

2. The Designer is engaged too late.
The Designer is asked for help when low-fidelity prototypes are ready, or worse, once the application is built. Their only job is to "make it prettier."
No matter how much they try, it's like lipsticking a pig.
How can we solve this?

Them: "We never have enough time to do proper user interviews."
Me: "How much time do you have?"
Them: "a week."
Me: "Let me tell you a story..."

I was consulting with an organization, whose team needed to do some research; interviews specifically. They said "well, we have 24 hours based on our schedule…but we have to get to this other work to make deadline and right now it's all hands on deck."

So the team can't spare the manpower or the people and there were lots of reasons why that date couldn't move. In the end, we got eight hours.
Eight hours to talk to users and get some sense of what's going on here.
