Personas - a guaranteed way to generate a lively discussion in the UX world. In her latest post for #ResearchOps - Why do Personas underdeliver to design teams? - Irith Williams goes beyond the initial love/hate response to understand their uses, misuses and misunderstandings of Design Personas. "The first task for a design practitioner is to understand what makes a Design Persona work, and what makes a Design Persona fail. This is key to recognising the ‘threats’ to a Persona’s reliability." https://lnkd.in/eS4RtPTJ • Not a member of ResearchOps Community Slack?

Diving in to share how I set up Figma files so they're organised AF Organisation and cleanliness in design is important to avoid: → Errors → Inconsistencies → Headache → Stuff going missing → Slow iterations Everything I create utilises auto layout where applicable, components and variables and text and colour styles. Cleanliness is next to godliness. 😂 How are you setting up and organising your design files within your business at the moment?

I've been working on some service design patterns with Dave Skinner for his project Design Patterns for social housing - https://lnkd.in/eC9p5RRv A service design map is often inaccessible - the designers will have worked hard to capture all the stages but the map will be a PDF or a diagram which doesn't easily resize to fit your phone. Your audience can't resize the text. It can't be read by screen reader software, either. As a solution: try making the map into an HTML table with two columns. For a mobile view, make each row resemble a card. Sorted! 😎 Hire interaction designers to find ways of putting content online. 😇 Transcript: 1. A numbered service stage with a representative icon Describe the stage in detail. Capture any pain points and improvement ideas. "Include verbatim quotes from research." Optional: include an emoji for how the person is feeling at this stage. Backstage - a policy or legal factor (grey) Backstage - a technical factor, such as a database (green) Time-based process (blue) Pain point or blocker (pink)

The more I talk to hiring managers and senior designers about what they are looking for in designers, the more I back up the theory that portfolios shouldn't be X, Y, Z case studies, but explorations of your obsession with details. I've written up more thoughts on this so I don't spam your LinkedIn feed with an essay https://lnkd.in/e9CxHxzz
