@cvspharmacy at least give me the option to opt out of your ridiculous waste of paper

[Sofia Rehman @sofia_uxd]

@cvspharmacy your receipts are absolutely ridiculous

[Sofia Rehman @sofia_uxd]

If you’re an introverted UX designer (like I am), I HIGHLY recommend you read “Quiet” by Susan Cain. Know your value

[Sofia Rehman @sofia_uxd]

The hardest thing about being a designer is staying true to the reasons backed by legit research. Everyone with an opinion believes they know what’s best.

[Sofia Rehman @sofia_uxd]

The reason the iterative process exists is so that designers are able to capture important PO and PM feedback before a design is finalized

[Sofia Rehman @sofia_uxd]

The agile methodology is great for designers and developers. However, stakeholders giving their input AFTER implementation. WHY.

Sometimes you realize that you just don’t know what the best design decision is until you do usability testing

Wrote my first confluence pages to document my designs! Advice to myself: start documentation from day 1!

[Alan Cooper @MrAlanCooper]

Personas are discovered in the field, not invented in the lab. They have goals & motivations & a realistic name. ALWAYS use their name. Once you have one, never say “user” again. Have very few of them (3 MAX). Design by role-playing as the persona. Make the persona happy.

Makes voice-based interactions look so tacky. https://t.co/4fiHjJhSLF

Cheesy but communication is key

I’m so cute. I high five myself after I do something new at work. Today, my first ever stand up with the engineering team

You should be less of a hero and more of a humble executor of everybody’s best ideas

What do you think about the 8 point grid system?

[Sofia Rehman @sofia_uxd]

Can’t emphasize the importance of interfaces being consistent enough!

Should the technology grow — or the person using it?
