Not every enterprise product needs to be intuitive. Complex workflows often require complexity, and trying to eliminate it can make products less powerful for experienced users. Explore why enterprise UX should balance intuitiveness with learnability, efficiency, and long-term mastery.
Open-source Figma alternatives are becoming viable for teams seeking self-hosting, open file formats, offline access, flexible AI integrations, and greater control over their design workflows. Compare Penpot, OpenPencil, Quant UX, and Open Design to see where open-source tools stand against Figma.
I used to leave design reviews with a stack of subjective edits. Then I learned to tell the story behind my work and rework dropped fast.
Learn what human-computer interaction is, discover its principles, and take a look at interaction design in HCI and its applications here.
Skipping prototypes can leave developers guessing and important UX problems undiscovered. Here’s how to prototype with purpose, choose the right level of fidelity, and use AI-assisted tools without losing sight of what you actually need to validate.
Where AI appears in your interface can shape how users discover, trust, and adopt it. Learn the strengths of common AI UI placement patterns and how to choose the right one for your product.
Vibe coding lets you describe an app in plain language and watch AI build it for you. Here’s how I created two micro-apps — a form-filling extension and a X trend finder —that cut my daily workload in half.
User stories help UX designers turn research into better design decisions. Learn what makes UX user stories different from Agile user stories, how to write them from user research, and what strong UX-focused stories look like.
When AI made generating design concepts almost effortless, I realized the most valuable part of a critique was no longer the interface itself. It was understanding the context, tradeoffs, and judgment behind the final design. Here’s how AI has changed the way I run design critiques—and why I think that’s making them better.
The Double Diamond design process helps UX teams balance exploration with decision-making, guiding projects from problem discovery to solution delivery. Learn how each phase works, which tools to use, when the reverse Double Diamond makes sense, and why the framework remains relevant for modern product development.
Explore the core principles of GUI design and learn how consistency, simplicity, feedback, accessibility, and user testing contribute to better digital experiences.
After five years in UX, I revisited the Daily UI challenge to reconnect with hands-on design. Along the way, I learned that great interfaces come from thoughtful briefs, sound judgment, and user feedback, not just better AI tools.
