A UX engineer’s (UXE) toolkit includes design and engineering tools. They are engineers first, so most tools apply to development, but they also use a fair share of design tools. Working between product design and development means that UX engineer tools must allow for collaboration between both disciplines. They must also work with DesignOps and

What Is Design Iteration? Design iteration is the repeatable process of improving a product (or part of a product) in relatively short but regular bursts, otherwise known as ‘design iterations’. These design iterations can consist of high-fidelity prototypes, mid-fidelity wireframes, low-fidelity sketches, or even simple diagrams such as sitemaps. Design iteration drives the overall design

Key Takeaways Feedback loops have three stages, that is action, effect, and feedback. They are used to understand users, validate design ideas, build information architecture, as well as improve usability. Feedback loops solve problems and answer questions, but they can be either positive (increase an input action) or negative (decrease an input action). Understanding feedback

Like any digital product, launching a design system is just the first step. The next step is about supporting, evolving, and scaling your design system as it matures with your product(s) and technology. The design system team must also gather user feedback for system improvements, bug fixes, and new components. There are no right or

Building a design system is a time-consuming and costly exercise. But, as many organizations have shown, the benefits far outweigh the costs. A design system roadmap allows team members and stakeholders to monitor the design system’s maturity, milestones, and timeline. Whether you’re just getting started or want to grow an existing design system, this article

Key Takeaways: Product development process involves 7 steps: ideation, research, prototyping, UI design, validation, development, launch; nevertheless, it’s not a linear process. Before you jump into developing ideas, you need to build a strong strategy to guide your vision; figure out what you need to create and how you will measure its effectiveness. Creating prototypes

Understanding the difference between ReactJS vs. React Native helps designers communicate with engineers better, avoid costly technical issues, and minimize friction during design handoffs. Designers don’t have to learn code or get into the technical details of Javascript or React to understand the fundamental differences between the two. The most significant difference that concerns designers

User interface design (UI design) is crucial for aesthetics, usability, and branding. It’s a balancing act of form and function, where designers must push the boundaries of creativity while designing a functional, cohesive user interface. This article looks at some creative web UI design examples and what makes them great. We also include a checklist

Modern websites and apps rely on front-end frameworks to develop, maintain, and scale user interfaces. React’s Javascript library is arguably the most popular front-end framework with many component libraries to build digital products. We’re going to explore the top React libraries and how to choose the right one for your next project. With UXPin Merge,

Sustainable web design is a growing movement as organizations look for every opportunity to reduce emissions and minimize their carbon footprint. If you follow responsive web design and mobile-first practices, you’re already on the way to reducing your environmental impact with greener digital products. According to a March 2020 BBC article, Why your internet habits

MUI is one of the top React component libraries that help front-end developers and designers create consistent user interfaces for their products. It contains a collection of ready-made building blocks that significantly speeds up prototyping. If you want to take the MUI for a test ride, you can try MUI Core 5 with UXPin Merge.
An accessible design system makes it easier for designers to create products that don’t discriminate users with disabilities. Design a system that is accessible in the first place, test it with available tools, and audit it from time to time to ensure it fits the standards. Let’s see how. Design system accessibility is the first

The quality and fidelity of your prototypes can significantly impact the design process and the final product. With advanced prototypes (that look and function like the final product), UX designers can get better results from usability testing and fix any issues before they get to the design handoff. The problem? Most leading vector-based design tools

2022 product design trends focus on human-centered innovation, sustainable design, experimental fonts, minimalism, and immersive animations. We’re going to explore each of these and more in greater detail to inspire your next design project. Skeuomorphism was one of last year’s biggest design trends. Skeuomorphic design describes the technique of making UIs look like real-world objects.
