As UX designers, one of the most valuable tools in our toolkit is the skill to validate our design decisions with user research.
Research is a powerful tool that can influence your organization in the right direction.
Design systems don’t bring in revenue. We’re a shared service.
Money is good. It’s a resource that we need to continue to make great work.
The skill to validate design decisions with user research is invaluable to making quality design decisions.
We’ve had so many problems to solve rebuilding our Figma libraries, resolving design system requests, and telling engineering executives to stop making houses out of duct tape.
We rarely use research in our organization, particularly on my team.
Do more research. It’s a powerful tool that can influence your organization in the right direction.
We reached out to our research team to see if we could create a small usability test to validate (or invalidate) our design decisions.
The skill of implementation of user research to validate design decision making is one of the key skills as UX designers.
