6 Simple ways to learn faster as a UX UI designer + Best Resources
learning fast can be a precious skill to know. I always use curiosity to learn, and it expands my mind to new things.
Here’s the cheat sheet:
Research EVERYTHING
Don’t just Google, deep-dive. Articles, case studies, competitor analyses — knowledge is your oxygen, inhale it all.
Reflect on Your Process
I can’t stress this enough, the best thing you can do is learn from your process. So whenever you finish a project or a cycle, think back on what you could have done better and what you should keep doing.
Ask Questions
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. always strive for knowledge about your company, how the company started, and the market fit, and learn from your colleagues.
Read a LOT.
when I started I just looked everywhere for a source of knowledge. I googled everything. for example, “table ux ui”, “cards ux ui”, and “login page best practices”. That’s how you find good articles and people to follow to learn more. I will share some of my best reading materials at the end of the article.
Save Content to Revisit — To-Learn List
After my previous point, you will be flooded with articles, videos, blog posts, and things to read. Maintain a list in Google Docs, Google Sheets, Notion, or whatever.. with all your ideas you want to explore later or you don’t have time to. Don’t let these gems get lost.
Follow Industry Leaders
In your research, you will find good sources of knowledge. make sure to check out what other stuff the writer published and follow him.
