As the needs of communities evolve libraries are transforming to support more diverse and engaging experiences. KI partnered with StudioFYNN on an extensive national research program to explore fundamental shifts in higher education, the evolving role of libraries within the broader community, and the critical importance of enhancing user experiences to attract and retain library users. At the core of a library’s mission today is to support this considerable breadth of needs and to enrich the user experiences in an increasingly technological era. To achieve this, libraries must focus on key drivers that shape and enhance user experiences.

It is impossible to create solution spaces that support user needs without conducting thorough research. Two such techniques that might assist in comprehending user wants, market size, and demand are user and market research. As a part of the PM cohort with Scooby study, I would follow the following 4 steps to conduct a lean user research: 1. Creating a user persona will help you better understand their needs, wants, and frustrations. 2. Taking on the role of an observer to learn how and why users utilise particular products. Examining reviews on the Playstore and Appstore is one way to identify the problems. 3. Interviewing them and posing targeted questions. I would absolutely refrain from posing questions that give away too much, such as "Did you enjoy the amazing improvement we recently made to our product?" 4. Ultimately, examining the information acquired and connecting the dots will aid in pinpointing the issues at hand and pave the way for further steps like ideation, brainstorming, and user journey mapping. This is a really good publish about the value of user research by the Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF) https://lnkd.in/g8nAccw6 Akshat G.

Super excited to share that I’ve completed my certification for Digital Product Design through Pratt Institute. I learned a ton through this course, and translated my skills to create a case study for my new design, MyChart Go— a medical app that utilizes color theory to tackle the hassle of mobile medical platforms. #uxdesign #digitaldesign #figma

A navigation solution to all users😀. My case study on the campus navigation is finally published 🎉. I’m supper duper excited because students will love it 🔥🔥 To know more about the problem and the solution, please kindly go through the case study and leave your thoughts🙏🏽 #productdesign #uidesign #campus #userexperiencedesign #userinterfacedesign #cleandesign #campuslife #designthinking

A 2021 study by WebAIM revealed that 97.4% of websites had accessibility errors, indicating a widespread issue in digital inclusivity. In data engineering and software development, prioritizing accessibility means: 📊 Designing data visualizations that are compatible with screen readers. 🔄 Creating adaptable interfaces to accommodate users with diverse motor skills or visual impairments. 👩💻 Simplifying user interactions to ensure seamless navigation for all users, regardless of ability.

Programming the Novint Falcon allowed me to see firsthand how haptic feedback can enhance usability for individuals with visual impairments or motor challenges by providing a tactile experience to complement the visual and auditory cues. On World Usability Day, let’s commit to building a more inclusive digital world. Every choice we make in design brings us one step closer to ensuring technology serves everyone. #WorldUsabilityDay #Accessibility #InclusiveDesign #DataEngineering #HapticTechnology #InnovationInTech #Usability
