[Weekly Retro] Design isn’t just for designers
#188 - Oct.2024
Happy Friday!
💡 Here is a quick idea before you head off to the weekend:
A little design knowledge goes a long way.
Design is the bridge that connects product, UX, and engineering.
Learn the basics.
Design isn't just for designers. Any leader driving innovation should develop a good design taste.
Good taste comes from understanding context, recognizing patterns, and curating the best options.
Start with these 4 areas:
- UX Principles: Understand user-centered design and usability basics: nngroup.com
- Discovery: Learn to conduct user interviews and gather insights: producttalk.org
- Prototyping: Experiment with prototyping methods to visualize ideas: pretotyping.org
- Design Consistency: Develop a consistent design language for coherence: Atomic Web Design
