🤔Ever wondered why some designs just click with users while others fail flat? The secret often lies in understanding the psychology behind the user behaviour!🤓 🧠 5 Psychological Laws every UIUX Designer must know: 👉 Hicks Law - Less is More! The time it takes for a user to make a decision increases with the number of choices they have. Simplify your designs and guide users with clear, concise options. 📝 👉 Fitts's Law - Size matters... and so does Distance. The time required to move to a target area (like a button) is a function of the distance to and size of the target. Make crucial buttons larger and place them within easy reach to enhance usability and speed up interactions.✅ 👉 Gestalt Principles - Our brains are wired to see patterns. Leverage principles like proximity, similarity, and closure to create intuitive layouts. By organising elements cohesively, you help users make sense of your interface at a glance.📑 👉 Miller's Law - We can only hold about 7 items in our short-term memory. When designing, chunk information into bite-sized pieces. This makes Content more digestible and helps users retain key information without feeling overwhelmed.📚 👉 Jakob's Law - Users spend most of their time on other sites. They prefer your site to work the same way as all the other sites they already know. Stick to familiar patterns and conventions to reduce the learning curve and improve user satisfaction.🙌 💫 Integrating these Psychological insights into your design process not only makes your interfaces more user-friendly but also drives engagement and satisfaction. 👀 What Psychological principles have you found most impactful in your designs? #UIUXDesign #UserExperience #DesignPsychology #Creativity

Ever wondered what product design is? Or is UIUX design and product design the same? The answer to these questions is covered in the article I just published on Medium. Kindly click on the link to read about it. https://lnkd.in/dd-6x_YJ #medium #contentwriter #design #articlewriting #contentwriting #uidesign #productdesign #uxdesign

I was editing a flow with one of the writers on my team, and we came across a tough nut she didn’t know how to crack. From my experience, this happens for one of two reasons - either the product doesn’t make sense, or the hierarchy doesn’t make sense. So we wanted to fiddle with the hierarchy to make it make sense, but we didn’t have time to get the UX designer on the call. We only had 30 minutes, and I wanted her to come out of it with a solution that she can share with her team. Luckily… we didn’t need a designer. We know our design system well enough to just mock something up by ourselves, and come back to the team with a full, ready-to-develop design proposal. That’s exactly what I teach in my design systems workshop with the UX Content Collective. When you leave the workshop, you’ll know how to use your design system to brainstorm, mock up and finalize content solutions all by yourself. As easy as that. That’s the thing that took my craft to the next level, and I think it can do the same for you. If you want to take that step, let me know and I’ll send you a promo code you can use for our session next Thursday. Want to be treated as a designer? Be a designer. There’s no other way.

☕ Fueled by coffee and a thirst for knowledge, I never tire of reading. I've delved into numerous books on UX design, but I've noticed that they often cover the same concepts, albeit from different angles. However, the fundamental principles remain unchanged. Simultaneously, I sought to satiate my reading appetite. Almost subconsciously, I stumbled upon an outstanding book. I'm only halfway through "The Personal MBA" by Josh Kaufman, yet I've already gleaned numerous insights that I can apply to my work as a UX designer. I would suggest anyone on a product team consider reading this book. Excited to apply these newfound insights to elevate my UX practice and contribute more strategically to business goals! Are you exploring how business principles influence your design approach? Let’s exchange thoughts! Go to the comments for my takeaways form the book so far. #UXDesign #BusinessFundamentals #ContinuousLearning #PersonalMBA #UserExperience #DesignThinking
