⚡️ UX hot take: Most user problems aren’t “user errors”—they’re design failures.
Ever heard someone say: “Users just need more training”? Nope. If people are struggling, the design isn’t working.

What’s the worst “blame the user” excuse you’ve heard? Let’s vent. 😅

🚀 A UX Myth That Needs to Die: “If the design is good, it speaks for itself.”
Great design still needs advocacy. If you’re not telling the story behind your work, you’re leaving it up to interpretation (or worse, neglect).

UX content is crucial. Teams often perfect design elements but overlook the words. Yet, content is what guides users, clarifies actions, and drives engagement. Start with words to shape meaningful experiences. Do you prioritize content in design? Let's chat! #UXDesign #ContentStrategy

What separates a Sr. designer from a design leader?
It’s not just experience—it’s mindset. They:

🚀 Advocate for users AND business goals
🚀 Mentor and uplift their team
🚀 Influence strategy, not just execution

What’s a trait that makes a great design leader?

UX isn’t about pixels, it’s about people.
Too many designers focus on what they’re designing rather than who it's for. If your users are struggling, no amount of UI will save a bad experience.

Instead of tweaking that button again, ask: Does this solve a real user problem?

Design thinking is vital for businesses as it minimizes development iterations, reducing costs and accelerating the product lifecycle. It's more efficient to iterate on designs than fully developed solutions. Partner with designers for experimentation! #designthinking #doublediamond #sdlc
