Hi #designcommunity In as much as we love playing with components, they scratch the surface of #designsystems. Here is an article I wrote that dives beneath the hood, explaining why applying a product perspective is paramount to success. #product #strategy https://t.co/8kFmGTawXJ

@ilyamiskov Skeuomorphism at its finest! #uiheuristics

@RHCPchad @RHCPchad absolutely blew the roof off Drumtek. An amazing experience to be part of. Thank you legend.

@MKBHD @MKBHD email unsub features have the darkest of dark patterns (rivalled closely by deactivating accounts). Sometimes the unsub #ux page pattern is designed to direct users through a checklist of ‘things you might still be insterested in’ before smashing that unsub.. #desperation

@101babich Those who can’t do…

@JustAnotherPM PMs should be familiar with #designthinking to empathise and empower designers in their team. It’s a cyclical relationship of trust & delivery. To gauge the complete gamut of product success, DT should be blended with #leanux or #designsprint to solve business and user outcomes

Here’s an article I wrote for #bootcamp by @uxdesigncc on the importance of a designer’s T Shaped skill set in a bridging world of AI and Product. @OpenAI #ChatGPT #ai #ux #product #strategy #outcomes #leadership https://t.co/XUZwcRabDD

In a pursuit of achieving outcomes, designers and product people should be clearly communicating insights back to teams/execs on how pivot based on insights and learnings - bringing us closer to achieving objectives, key results and ultimately, outcomes. #outcomes #product #ux

[Gianluca Caico @gianlucacaico]

As a designer, a T-Shaped skill set influences growth, which can be said for any position in business. There is more value in you growing the knowledge or ability of a teammate or stakeholder than addressing the task yourself. #designleadership #product #designthinking #uxdesign

Don’t be afraid of facilitation. Workshops are the most fun you can have at work. Take pride in your approach, believe in your ability and focus on highlighting results and outcomes. ‘Lean’ into existing methods, make them your own. I like to add music to mine. What will you do?

[Gianluca Caico @gianlucacaico]

@disco_lu If designing for mobile, then 360x640. The thinking there is to design mobile first in the smallest, most common possible use case. Screens can then scale upward. If designing for desktop, then 1920 wide, same principles apply, just scale down. Oh and bootstrap grids, always!

@adriankuleszo Didn’t somebody once say, design is thinking made visual? Saul Bass I believe.. I’m sure UX would fall into this pool, too.

@NateBaldwinArt This is fantastic @NateBaldwinArt !!

[Gianluca Caico @gianlucacaico]

Data should be defined as qual and quant when designing for new or existing products. New to market products need validation. A 5 day design sprint is a rapid tool that gathers consensus to validate a hypothesis, as you only need 5 people to test with. #ux #ui #designsprint #data

[Gianluca Caico @gianlucacaico]

Inspiration is everywhere. Be mindful of your project objectives when engaged in a digital experience. When inspiration presents itself, point back to your solid documentation practices + subconscious design thinking = rapid design iteration. #designthinking #okr #userexperience

[Gianluca Caico @gianlucacaico]

Design serves a functional purpose, intended to provoke the doing, the verbs of life. Posters communicate action and an app can help one achieve their goals. If we break it down to the fundamental level, @michaelbierut once said clients are the difference between art and design!

[Gianluca Caico @gianlucacaico]

Recognition over recall is described by @NNgroup as ‘Showing users things they can recognize improves usability over needing to recall items from scratch...’ A great example of this is how much easier it is to recognise a password pattern than recall a number #uiheuristic #ux #ui
