I did UX research on the Mit ID app which there is lacking of some features and a poor UI which was frustrating for the old-age group of users Mit ID is an application of the Danish government used in Denmark where they can access and register their identity using their passport and ID under this application you have the following features. - banking system where you can keep your money. - money transfer and received money. - online shopping - pay your taxes through the Mit ID application If use other websites like health-related, education, and other local websites during the registration or login process you need to register or log in through the Mit ID app then you will be able to access that particular application that was a bit frustrating if you forget or lost your Mit Id credentials you can't recover it without passport or Id. this was the huge frustrating thing that the users mostly faced that I have tried to resolve in my user research and documentation and solve the problem that the old age group of users will smoothly interact with the Mit ID application. #uxdesign #uxreserch #documentation #mobileapp #Mitid

It's all about focusing on outcomes, like satisfaction and usage, rather than just delivering outputs. Curious how it works? 👉 Check out the article! #DesignOps

I've been experimenting with AI, to help explain our design system to our users. I asked NotebookLM to use https://lnkd.in/dGCiu6Jn and generated a short podcast-style conversation, and I have to say the result is not that bad. No visuals here, just the podcast converted to a video. https://lnkd.in/d78zFh_x #DSF #digitalservicesfactory #designsystem #design #DMRID #DITS

After attending the Figma Coffee Chat in Stockholm this morning about designer developer handover, it got me thinking about how much our design tools have evolved to help with this handover, but are we doing enough to support the developers getting the hang of these features? And ultimately, developers are the ‘end user’ of our designs—at least from one perspective—so it’s our responsibility as designers to facilitate them succeeding in this. How can designers take more ownership of developers understanding what’s possible in Figma? #figma #designer #developer #handover

About Ian's book: It's really well written and I am actually *wanting* to read it. (That makes all the difference because I rarely leave the house without coming home with a book, new or second hand. My "booklog" is such that I've started stashing them horizontally in the bookcase). Also - having worked variously as a producer, researcher, content designer, service designer, service manager, product lead, I'm highly selective about whose books I read in earnest. I've known Ian since the '90s and I know he walks the talk. This is guidance from a proper, 30-year career practitioner, as opposed to someone who's read other people's stuff and is good at PR.

You could be an award winner designer. Do you want to know how? Go to UX Nordic Conference 2024 website and submit your best work, the one you are really proud about. How to submit it? 1 - A brief Video Presentation and Visualisation, Create a visual presentation of the solution. The visualisation can be a video or screencast of max. 90 seconds. Present the final product as well as some stages during the development including how you started. Appendences are not required but allowed. If you do submit an appendence, it must be no longer than 5 pages. 2 - Description of the process/method. Submit a short written description of what challenge you wanted to solve and why you found this issue relevant to address. We are curious about the hypotheses you developed, your choice of methodology, what the research phase looked like, but just as much what you learnt along the way and how it influenced the design process. 3 - Description of the solution Submit a short written description of the solution and why it is creative, original and innovative. Furthermore, explain why the form and function must match the needs of the target group. Please describe the insights behind the final solution design and how these have been incorporated into the final solution design. It is an advantage if the solution relates to one or more of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. But it is not a requirement. 4 -Description of the results Submit a short written description of the results you have established so far. Here, we emphasise a proven impact that supports that you have solved the original challenge. The impact can be in terms of value for the user, such as functional or social value. It can also be business value such as financial profit. It is a requirement that digital solution has been launched or relaunched within the last 2 years. The UX solution can be an completely new design, but can also be a new sub-feature or an optimisation of an existing design. Submit your project until June 14th #uxnordic #uxaward #uxconference #designconference #designaward
