Think twice before you AI the day away

Whether it’s user research, strategy, or product and service design: If you trust random AI tools without intention, your output will be as tasteful as overcooked spaghetti at a fake Italian restaurant🍝. — I have used AI-fueled tools to ideate, write, plan travels, get inspiration, generate images, or replace Google search at times. I am intrigued and excited to see what these tools are capable of and how fast they improve.

How to plan & create a website or app. Not another design process.

HV Project Model: Our framework to approaching challenges and handling web or app projects in collaboration with clients and partners. — When faced with the challenge of creating, designing, building or re-designing one’s website, we often talk about the design and development process. This is neither another process nor an article about one. Process vs. Output vs. Collaboration Most companies or agencies have a certain way of working.

UX Personas: What’s the point?

Personas are under attack. They have been an established artefact in a UX designer’s toolkit. But recently, professionals have argued, that personas don’t create any real value in the design process and that they are bound to fail. So what now? Most of us happen to design products for other people and not for ourselves. To understand the people we are designing for, we create personas. This used to be an established given in the UX & Design community. Nevertheless, lots of people have experienced failure and experts have raised criticism.

We sometimes take things too seriously and thus overrate people sharing their shiny design and code experiments with the world. — Heard of dark mode? Of course, you have. Dark mode is said to reduce eye strain, it has grown in popularity, and user demand. Sketch recently released a new version of their software offering the dark side of the screen, thus addressing a user need and solving a user problem…

The awkward conversation about wireframes in the design process

Do you need wireframes? Who uses them anyway? Is producing wireframes just a waste of time and resources? — These are questions that have been bugging me and our team and they have been the subject of many articles and debates. As a UX dude, I generally vote in favour of such an artefact. At the same time, I have met opposition from co-workers. …
