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.
