Hi there! I'm Margaret, a product designer living in New York City.
Being a Solo UX Designer
Having previously been a solo UX designer, I wanted to share some of the things I learned along the way for anyone who may be going through or considering a similar path.

Typography makes up a huge part of product design. So it's only natural that it is one of the core things to include when creating a design system! Here I go over how I organize my guidelines on type usage, which goes beyond just choosing a font!

Practicing mindfulness is more important than ever these days. One way to do so is with the help of an app. My company uses Calm for meditation and sleep, so I decided to review its UX as it relates to how I personally use it!

Accessibility in Game UX Design
Просмотров 5133 года назад
Games - something we all deserve to enjoy, but do so differently (and that's okay!). I review some popular games I've played (or fallen prey to) in the past year to see just how user friendly they are for various types of players. Of course there's no one-size-fits-all solution, but hoping to see accessibility play a bigger role in future releases! Like and subscribe for more design-related con...

I would've loved to see the interaction design of the clip feature. Great video btw, really useful and accurate insights.
That speed narration selector is like the most awful pattern I've seen in a very long time. Looks like those trolling volume selectors developers do to have fun.

Thanks for sharing, it was helpful
Thank you so much for these tips! 😊✌
great video thanks!
Thank you❤ Great video to help me decide not only if Designlab UX Academy is a good match for me, but insightful regarding the importance of research and collaboration to determine the best strategy to TRULY solve your client's problem as a UX designer vs a traditional visual designer who may be more focused on aesthetics than problem solving. ❤
Great video. Super helpful ❤
Thanks for making this video. I’m a graphic designer that just finished a UI boot camp. Although my focus isn’t much on UX aspect but your tips help me understand better managers’ mindset when it comes to hiring!
thank you for all the tips, job hunting has been super difficult recently and your video has been super helpful in helping me figure out how to iterate on my portfolio for better results! love the shinee poster in the background btw :)
I've been a solo UX Designer for the past 8 months, And I really need guidance and mentorship. is there a way through which we could connect and talk? @paintpops
Nice ❤
Blunt and to the point, thanks for the insight
Hi paintpops! Would you recommend a behance portfolio, medium or a portfolio website? I hope you get to answer this
can you please add visual examples of what you are talking about for us visual learners 😁👍🏽
What is the difference between a jr ux designer and an intership? Also which are the best websites to use to make my portfolio?
Thanks for the video currently in the same state. Also love the minimalism in the video
Overflow was great at first when it was simple, but it has become worse over time. The added features often add very little functionality. For example they decided to add comments, great! But then they make sure that you can only use them after creating artboards which are annoying and timeconsuming...
Can you share some good examples?
Thanks for the video, exactly what was in my mind lately!
Whats your LinkedIn? I wanna ask you something.
❤😊
question: at 17:11 for example, how do you do this presentation in overflow where you integrate your imported figma frames with the user flow that you earlier created? thanks in advance!
There is an Overflow plugin for Figma! Just select the frames you want to import in Figma, run the plugin while Overflow is open, and it will appear on your flow map. One thing to note is that if you want to just update a frame within Overflow, make sure the name of the frame in Figma and Overflow matches.
Hi! Thanks for the video, what is a call map?
The name of the app is Calm
That was a great calm, clear, precise straight to the point explanation. Thanks a lot for that.
Hi just curious what is the stylus and board you use? thxx
I use a Wacom Intuous Medium tablet, but it's a pretty old model, so I'm sure they have updated versions by now!
How many user flow diagrams should I make if I am just starting on a project. For example I am creating an ecommerce website. One is for onboarding experience. One is for checkout process. Should we create as many user flow diagrams as possible or we should make user flow diagrams for most important actions only?
I would start with the most important/major user stories, but it's also good practice to document the other flows as well so your team is aligned on how your product is used as a whole!
@@paintpops Thanks a lot for replying. Really appreciate it.
Hey there! Came across one of your videos about portfolio tips from a hiring manager’s perspective and thought is was very well done. I am was wondering if you could create a video discussing the path for someone new to the industry looking to get a job as a Product/UX Designer? Thanks!
Bruh, I realized I’ve setup my portfolio website wrong 😅 thank you for tricks and tips 🤙🏼
Thank you for illustrating this entire process! This is perfect :-)
Thank you can you do a part 2 ?
What kind of tips are you interested in seeing more of?
Did you get to work with real client for your project?
Yup, I did reach out to a small business and built a website for them for one of my capstones
Lol, today I saw your channel and was wondering when you were going to upload new video. Nice work as always!
Haha thanks, Chris! This one took an unusually lengthy amount of time to put together.
Nice, please share the prototype link.
I'm using this for a case study I'm doing. Thanks so much for creating this video!
Glad you found it helpful!
I love your content! Very helpful and informative. Have you ever thought of doing a podcast? Your voice is perfect for it!
Thank you for the kind words, Joanna! Haven't considered a podcast yet! I think RUclips is still my preferred medium for the time being :)
Great stuff 👍👍 Thank you very much
I used to love CH but I had to get rid of it because it was so hard to use. After an update, they made it so you were seeing random rooms as opposed to rooms with people you follow inside. You can’t search rooms or even see a list of all rooms possible to join. And some of the room titles are so problematic.
hey I am a ux designer looking for a job
Sameee
did you get it yet?
@@amina6489 do you have any
Thanks for these... 🙏❤️
