What's one design challenge you've faced that completely reshaped your approach?

Scaling up was a mind-bender; made me realize design isn't just about looks but also how it functions under load. Totally changed my game for my ProductHunt launch.

For me it was being given completely contradictory instructions: * "We need to show all of the text no matter how long" * "This looks ridiculous, we can't show everything" My initial inexperienced reaction was "That's not possible - choose one!". But that's clearly the wrong answer. There are so many ways to expand/collapse content or to change layouts to support content of variable sizes etc. Also both specific requests come from a WHY. Understand both WHYs and they might not be contradictory at all. The take-away for me was that there is always a third way when you have two choices. And the answer "that's not possible" is almost never the correct answer.

Had to pivot the UI of my app after beta testers found it too cluttered. Learned to prioritize functionality over flash.

A website for a growing startup crypto project. 5 characters and one first screen. Make the main screen mega-cool and engaging, but at the same time do not overload, maintain the style and color scheme. When we offered different implementations of the graphics of 5 characters, we kept the colors pastel, as the customer wanted. In the process of drawing the design, we realized that we need modern, juicy colors so that the site directly refers to technology. Cryptotematics requires! We maintained the style with the help of decorative elements, graphics in the background of each character and unusual animation. You may check the result here: https://dribbble.com/shots/22018...

nice work

The initial screen the user is faced with is very important. I realized, that I needed to make it clear what my product is intended for in that initial screen. So I designed and built the entire flow that gives users a set of options, and useful resources like tutorials. Here's the result -> https://dribbble.com/shots/22433...

1) keep it clean and simple, get to the point fast 2) white space is your friend 3) deliver value and the call-to-action quickly

Our current logo and brand. Changed how I see design. Before I would always overcomplicate the process. But it's really simple. It came from the late Steve Jobs in the end. "Creativity is just connecting things"

Designing without a plan or system doesn't work. Spending the majority of your time planning leads to less error and time wasting.

When you make the leap between design and video tools like After Effects, every little of the design becomes more relevant; especially if you intend to make a video using the design elements, which quickly become more important that the sum of its parts.

Good insights here!

One thing I try to reiterate in my office is "design is a process." We tend to forget this which results into false expectations from designers. Sometimes, people thing that designers should deliver a final work after just one meeting with the marketing or the management. That's not the case! It takes back and forth discussions and a lot of user study! If I think if we understand this, we adjust our expectations.

I would imagine that it's the same with tech, but I make physical products. Once you've changed one small thing, you've got to change everything else to accommodate that small change.

Having multiple stakeholders who have multiple priorities want completely different things wrapped at the same time. Someone came and told me: You should listen to only one person and that person should be your true boss. I stopped listening to my boss's boss and it changed the game for me!

I was once a victim of a heart-wrenching cryptocurrency scam that left me devastated. I had invested a significant sum of $75,000 worth of Ethereum in an online investment platform, hoping to reap substantial profits. Little did I know that I was about to face a nightmare. As the weeks went by, my excitement turned into despair when I realized that the platform I had trusted was nothing more than an elaborate scheme to rob unsuspecting investors like me my hard-earned Ethereum, leaving me feeling helpless and betrayed. After extensive research, I came across Recover Coin Rescue Team, a crypto recovery specialist who helps victims like me regain their stolen assets. After weeks of tireless efforts, (RECOVERCOIN at RESCUETEAM dot COM) had successfully recovered a substantial portion of my lost Ethereum. To anyone who finds themselves in a similar unfortunate situation, I urge you not to lose hope. Reach out to RecoverCoin Rescue Team for your Crypto recovery.

We wondered to what extent we should split the back-end side of the functionality as a microservice. Microservices simplify source control, but they are more tedious to design and implement.

I overcome my fear of mistakes by recognising their relevance in the design process, which increased my willingness to explore.

One design challenge that completely reshaped our approach was creating a user-friendly and intuitive interface for Rewardue. Initially, we had a complex design that included multiple features and options, which made the user experience overwhelming. However, after conducting user testing and gathering feedback, we realized that simplicity and ease of use were key. We simplified the interface, removed unnecessary elements, and focused on the core functionalities that users needed the most. This redesign not only improved the user experience but also made the platform more visually appealing.

Having a boss that doesn't know what he wants, and makes me change the design completely every few days! I learned how to brief correctly then!
