The benefit of veteran product designers setting the foundation for your product greatly outweighs any time lost onboarding a UX hire in the later stages of the product.

Have you been burned by a UX firm that left your UX team with a mess to clean up?

Looking for a #UXPartner? Don’t just evaluate their results, evaluate their character too.

These questions should all be #yeses before hiring a UX firm?

https://t.co/lP8jlgkajV

[sodiumhalogen @sodiumhalogen]

Don't believe the myth.🐲

UX processes are not one size fits all.

The best #UXpartners use existing methods to adapt to each client's unique goals, audiences, & business context.

🧰 They leverage existing user research to accelerate #startups to #PMF.

The myth that hiring a #UX firm will slow you down is flat-out wrong. Top UX partners accelerate your path to #productmarketfit.

Great partners bring deep industry expertise during an intensive cycle of research, prototyping, and user testing.

As a #security #startup, there are two factors to consider in a #UX firm.
1️⃣ How quickly are you wanting to move?
2️⃣ How risky are you willing to be?

If you want to move faster with lower risk, choose a firm with experience designing security products.

UX design is like the foundation of a house. 🏠

It's much cheaper to pour good concrete at the start than to try and repair a shaky foundation down the line.

Let’s debunk some myths about #UX firms. ⚡

As UX/UI professionals, we’re often told to “reduce clicks” to speed up the user’s workflow.

But what happens when users don’t take action because they are afraid to click it?

I wish security apps were more like board games.

Well-designed board games have instructions that always draw me in and break down the game for me.

But a lot of security product onboardings leaves me confused.

What if we could change that? 👇👇👇

2023 was full of ups and downs but I wouldn’t change a thing.
And I am so excited to see what 2024 holds.

Don't be surprised when your #security product isn't what users want.

Test it first. #usertesting #uxui #productdesign

❌ 📊 Stop tracking dashboard metrics and go talk to real users 🗣️

Your team will understand WHY users are struggling with your product.

Early-stage #productcompanies are handycapping themselves

🔈 They should be constantly sharing insights between the #marketing, #sales, and product teams

🥲 Unfortunately, these #insights are trapped in silos

@jjguy inspired me to learn a better way...

[sodiumhalogen @sodiumhalogen]

It isn't every day that #usertesting takes us under a vehicle. 😆

We've found some of our best insights come from the users who are in the trenches doing the work. 👷‍♂️

❓What's the strangest location you have tested with a user or held a meeting?

#autosecurity #uxdesign

[sodiumhalogen @sodiumhalogen]

#Testing with real users might seem like an uphill battle against #decisionmakers.

But it doesn’t have to be that way...

1. share #stories from user research sessions
2. position user testing as #risk mitigation
3. start with small-scale #pilot tests

https://t.co/iNoYGydXTz

[sodiumhalogen @sodiumhalogen]

Sharing your #userresearch #findings with your team is critical. 📈

The goal is to provide actionable insights, not just data.

With a compelling presentation of your #research, you can get alignment on how user perspectives should shape your #product.
