Paper mocks ⬇️ High-fidelity wireframes ⬇️ Final visual designs This has been my workflow, as a solo founding designer at a startup. #ux #uxdesign

⚡️ Hack for solo-designers, working at top speed: If you take some more time to detail out paper mocks, they could serve as quick feedback opportunities even from non-designer stakeholders.

EVERY UI can be improved. So don’t get super attached to an idea. A better one could be just an iteration away. #uxdesign #ux

It’s probably not your portfolio, but your skills that are blocking you from landing a job. At the end of the day, your portfolio is a reflection of your skills. Keep upskilling 🚀 #ux #uxdesign

The simplest way to overcome the blank page problem is: reference. Spend 15-30 minutes just going through inspiration and work of others. This small habit will get your creative juices flowing.

Any job that ‘challenges’ the human brain, will never get replaced by AI. It’s those ‘mundane’ tasks that will, which let’s be honest, humans shouldn’t be doing full-time anyway.

Been quite impressed with Figma AI’s ability to generate images and icons. Give it a good reference. Prompt smartly. Save time. #ux #UIDesign

First decide ‘what’ goes on the wireframe. Then figure out ‘how’. 💡

If you can’t explain your designs, you haven’t solved a problem.

‘What’ should go on the page = Product Strategy. ‘How’ should we design the page = Product Design. Understand the difference, and honing these skills will future proof your career. #uxdesign #productdesign

One important trait designers should learn from developers is: Debugging. Good devs don’t focus on writing ‘perfect’ code from the get-go. Build > Test > Tweak > Repeat. As designers, we should adopt the same mentality. Design > Test > Iterate > Repeat #ux #uxdesign

Staying relevant in the AI era as a SaaS founder would be to integrate 'community' in some fashion to your product. As AI gets more powerful, any indie hacker (and possibly layman) could replicate your product fairly easily. Building community will always be a human skill.

Incorrect Wireframing Process 🚫 - Gets vague requirement - Opens Figma - Starts dragging and clicking - Get brain fried Correct Process ✅ - Gets vague requirement - Asks questions - Lists elements - Paper mocks - Iterate - Opens Figma Design smarter 💯

In most cases, for beginner designers, it’s their process which is the problem, not portfolio. Ultimately, your portfolio is a reflection of your work ie. your process. Fix your process, and automatically your portfolio will take shape well. ✨

Been using Dia browser this past week. Don’t see the need for going back to Chrome (other than for using Chrome Cast for presenting lol) Great job @diabrowser 👏🏼

Using auto-layout on wireframes can slow you down if you're a beginner. It's better to get rough ideas out quick. Gather feedback. And then apply auto-layout to approved designs. #figma #uidesign
