UX-y FAQs

How long have I been XD-ing?

Longer than I realised!

My design journey began in print, those designs certainly had the user in mind. But I suppose more prominently since I jumped ship from print to digital, circa 2015, that’s when it really and truly began when I project managed the design of a business management system app.

Where do I draw inspiration from?

I don’t have a favourite designer or design style. I’m pretty much open to anything and everything and love collaborating creatively with other like minded people. But having said that I usually like to keep things simple and straight forward because I strongly believe that will reflect in the user experience in that the user will not feel flustered or unsure how to navigate. As much as I love a fancy parallax-y website, I also love the simplicity of the gov.uk website and its attention making the website accessible.

What software do I use?

Figma all the way! I’m a fan of Sketch also, but Figma is my current go to. I have dabbled in XD and found it too clunky. I’ve looked into InVision also and think if I need to use it I’d pick it up pretty easily, reminds me of Figma.

Usual adobe applications to support my designs – Illustrator and Photoshop.

Don’t mind animating in Premiere and After Effects either.

Interestingly my number one a few years ago was InDesign and now if I have to open it I get palpitations!

I’ve dabbled with Zeplin, Axure and the likes, but I just prefer to do my flows in Figma. I use a Remarkable2 for sketching when I need to include that in my design process.

Figjam and Miro for collabs and workshops whether in-person or remote, both are equally as good!

Favourite UI component?

Accordion and sliding line tabs.
