Meet Pavels Amosovs 👋 Product Designer Q: What's your current role at Rezi? A: I’m a Product Designer. I work on our design system for new and existing features in close collaboration with our dev team. Usually, it’s a mix of big features that require a longer period of design research and small but impactful product improvements. I strive to make Rezi more consistent, intuitive, and valuable for our users. Q: Any advice for job seekers? A: If possible, always try to talk to existing employees/your potential team members. Don’t rush and pick the right company environment. Many companies try to sugarcoat their work culture, and in the end, it often backfires. No job title or company name is worth your mental or physical health. Q: What do you like about Rezi? A: First of all, I think Rezi has a great team. We come from different countries and cultures but have one shared mission: build and scale the best resume software in the world. It’s great to work on a product that helps people and solves real problems.

🎤 Tune in now: State-of-Innovation #13 with Sabrina Duda, Principal UX Researcher of Stepstone, author & speaker & mentor - 25 years of experience in UX - Accredited UX Professional - MSc Psychology:  "The state of corporate innovation: How to discover opportunities and design solutions."    User experience (UX) research can be broadly categorized into two primary fields: generative research and tactical research. Generative research is centred around the discovery of new opportunities that extend beyond current solutions.    🎧 Here is WHY you should listen:  - Why you need to differentiate between the type of research you need depending on your innovation scope  - How you can organize generative research and tactical research in your organization  - What will change – and what will probably stay the same in the age of genAI 😉   In this episode we discuss why generative research is crucial for discovering new opportunities and driving innovation, while UX research is vital for optimizing and refining existing solutions. By applying the appropriate type of research at the right stage of the innovation process, innovators can effectively address user needs, stay competitive, and achieve their strategic goals.     By organizing both generative and UX research in a coordinated way, corporations can leverage the strengths of each type of research to drive both innovation and product optimization. A structured approach that includes clear objectives, dedicated teams, collaborative planning, and cross-functional integration will ensure that research efforts are synergistic and aligned with the corporation’s strategic goals.    Find the full episode here 🎶 :   https://lnkd.in/dinbyCBW   #stateofinnovation #opportunitydiscovery #corporateinnovation #designthinking #outcomedriveninnovation #jobstobedone #CreativeSolutions

We asked our 💚 UI/UX Designer, Daria Kyrychenko, about the business value of UX design, and her insights shed light on how investing in UX can lead to product success in the market. 🤔 Ever wondered why some products thrive while others struggle? The answer might lie in the user experience (UX) they offer. UX isn't just about interfaces; it encompasses every user interaction with a brand. User satisfaction and emotions heavily influence a product's success from the first touchpoint to the last. Investing in UX isn't just a good idea; it's a strategic business decision. But how does UX translate into tangible benefits for businesses? 1. Cost reduction. Implementing UX techniques early in development can save significant costs. Companies like Microsoft and Intuit reduced development costs and support calls by involving users in the design process. 2. Increase in profit. A well-designed UX directly correlates with customer satisfaction and increased revenue. Examples from Amazon, Bооking.com, and Google illustrate how UX optimizations can lead to higher conversion rates and revenue growth. 🎨 So, how can businesses leverage UX to maximize success? - User research. Understand your audience's needs and behaviors to design interfaces that meet their expectations. - Simplicity and clarity. Ensure your interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. - Clear CTAs. Make what action users should take next obvious. - Easy navigation. Help users find what they're looking for quickly. - Minimal forms. Reduce friction in the checkout process to prevent abandonment. - Download speed. Ensure fast loading times to avoid user frustration. - Responsive design. Adapt your product to any device for a seamless user experience. - Visual clues. Use icons and graphics to guide users through your interface. - Testing and optimization. Continuously improve your product based on user feedback. By prioritizing UX design, businesses increase conversions and build trust, loyalty, and long-term success. 🙏 And let's add that Software Development Hub provide clients with a full comprehensive custom development cycle,encompassing architecture planning, client business analysis, UI/UX design, quality control, project management, and ongoing support. #uxdesign #UX #userexperience #softwaredevelopment

For one of our clients, users couldn't see what the products looks or feels like in real life. Our hypo was that if we add animations of product unboxing this will increase user motivation and so more transactions will be completed. Outcome/Takeaway: Loss - Iterate Variation resulted in: -1.54% in Add to Cart (82% sig.) -2.22% in Transactions (73% sig.) -4.07% in Revenue per user (using Sessions) -2.02% in AOV Recommendation (next step): The variant had poor results across all devices. Iterate with other on-hand product content.

Ready to stand out in the crowded UX field? Our CEO, Ania, recently spoke at Collegium Da Vinci, revealing key insights into the 2024 UX recruitment process. Here’s a glimpse of what can set you apart: 1. Personalization: understand the company’s projects, team, and values. Craft a personalized message or video showing why you’re a perfect fit. Highlight your experiences, successes, and lessons learned. 2. Show the process: your portfolio should be a storybook. Include case studies that showcase your problem-solving process and innovative solutions. If you fail, write why. We all make mistakes; don’t be afraid to show them and explain what you learned. 3. Be unconventional: stand out with interactive portfolios, video resumes, or a strong social media presence. Highlight your strengths. 4. Human-centric design: demonstrate how your designs enhance user experiences and accessibility. 5. Continuous learning: stay updated with the latest trends and commit to continuous learning—that’s one of the most important things in our sector. 6. Be authentic: be genuine about your skills and experience. Don’t lie. Ania emphasized that just 18 months ago, we received 30 applications per job posting. Recently, it was nearly 200. Despite this, few candidates personalized their applications or researched our projects. Most sent generic CVs to multiple companies. And one extra tip: - Enthusiasm for technology and innovation is a big plus. If you love working with AI tools, that’s a huge advantage for us. We automate everything we can and need people who understand technology! Thank you, Collegium da Vinci, for having us. For those aspiring to join the UX revolution, take these insights to heart and let your creativity shine. #ux #recruitment #career #portfolio #techjobs #innovation #designthinking

Early in my career, one client stood out among the rest. During our product design review meetings, the CEO of the company would often quietly sit in the back of the room. On more than one occasion, he would interrupt the meeting to challenge not just our team but also the decision-makers within his own company. He insisted that we share the story behind the product design. Initially, I was taken aback by his interruption. Eager to present the latest solutions, I wasn’t prepared for the shift and view the bigger picture from a higher altitude. But over time, I realized how crucial this exercise was to the bigger picture of product development. If we couldn’t clearly and compellingly communicate the 'why' behind the design, the customer wouldn't grasp the importance of buying the product. This experience taught me an invaluable lesson: the importance of having conviction in the product story. After all, a compelling story always includes conflict followed by resolution. Is your business lacking a compelling story behind the products you deliver? Let’s connect—we’d love to show you how we enhance product design by building a powerful narrative. #Productdevelopment #Storytelling #ProductDesign #lessonslearned
