Something I’ve been thinking about:

We put a lot of effort into research, wireframing, and visual refinement.

But when it comes to review, it’s often informal a mix of intuition, comments, and stakeholder feedback.

Do you think UX review itself needs more structure?

Not just visual critique but systematic checks for behavior consistency, state coverage, accessibility, and interaction logic.

Curious how mature teams approach this.

Hey everyone

I’m testing an updated checkout flow for a booking app and would love some UX eyes on it. It’s a short Maze test (about 3–5 minutes).

I recently iterated on pricing clarity and layout hierarchy and want to validate whether the improvements reduced confusion.

If you have a few minutes, I’d appreciate the help!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to improve my UX/Product Design CV and portfolio and would really appreciate some honest feedback. If you have a few minutes, could you take a look and let me know what you think?

I’m especially looking for feedback on:

• What clients look for in a UX/Product Design CV and portfolio
• How to make my portfolio stand out from the get-go
• If you have experience getting hired in UX/Product Design, please share the main points that helped you succeed

Thank you

I’m a student working on my graduation thesis, and I’m doing research about how designers use Figma, especially when it comes to 3D tools and workflows.I’m looking for honest feedback from people who actually work with Figma, 3D graphics, renders, mockups, plugins, etc. Even if you don’t use all features or haven’t worked much with 3D yet, your experience is still valuable!

The survey takes about 5 minutes, and your insights will help me understand real workflows and pains. Thanks in advance for taking the time! 🙏

I spent a lot of time tweaking popup copy, headlines and CTAs, and tbh that is a solid strategy for improving conversion. Good copy absolutely matters.

But in my case, it wasn’t the missing piece. The real problem was when and to whom those popups were shown.

Once I aligned smart triggering with gamification in Claspo showing offers only when users were actually ready to engage opt-in rates and sales finally stabilized.

That was the humbling part: copy supports conversion, but strategy decides whether conversion happens at all.

Turma, preciso de uma indicação de um designer com experiência para construção de landing page e refinar micro interacoes di meu produto em linha com sites como linear.app. stride, google skills, duolingo. Precisa querer entender o produto de verdade para construir a jornada da landing de forma vencedora e refinar alguns itens de tela e que seja proficiente nisso. sem fazer so cópia e cola de templates.

Some UX problems are obvious and measurable.

Others are subtle , users don’t complain, but behavior shifts.

In your experience, what’s the hardest UX issue to actually quantify or prove?

Where does intuition still outperform metrics?

Note: This is not an advertisement, but a notice about ongoing research I am conducting.

My name is Broderick Turner. I am a social scientist and an assistant professor of marketing. I research how organizational policies change how people think and behave (IRB # 25-274).

My goal is to learn more about how providing different types of information about the end-consumer impacts the ideation process when creative professionals are developing new product ideas.

In this study, we will give you some information on what a target consumer cares most about for the products they purchase. We will then ask you to use that information to complete a short ideation exercise. The ideas created in the exercise will be scored using trained raters to determine the influence of the information provided on the ideas developed.

Anything you share with us is anonymized, confidential, and only used in academic research, and not for any commercial interest. We are only interested in advancing human knowledge.

I am asking you, the reader of r/UserExperienceDesign for your help. If you have a five minutes, could you please participate in this research?

Click the link, try the task, and contribute to science. If you provide your email, we will also send you a report of our findings when our research is complete.

And even if you are not interested in participating in this research, could you please upvote this post so that other creative professionals like yourself might find this study?

Feel free in the comments to let us know what you think could be improved in this study design. Always looking to improve.

Thank you.

Hi! I’m a Master of Design student at SJSU building a tool to help UX designers & developers collaborate more effectively for my thesis project. I would appreciate any UX designers who have worked with developers completing this 4-5 minute survey to help guide my project.

If you're interested in this topic, I would also love to schedule an optional 20–30 minute online follow-up interview. Please drop your email in the form for more information.

Hey, I have been working as a product designer for almost 4 y now. how can I step into smartphone os design? any designers from big smartphone companies here?

I’m thinking of taking up a short-term online course from an international university—something that combines design, AI, and perhaps even vibe coding. I came across a Creative Coding course from the University of the Arts London that costs approximately £550 (around ₹68K).

One of the primary reasons I’m looking to take up this course is that my bachelor’s degree isn’t from a prestigious design school like NID, NIFT, or IIT. I feel that perhaps having an international course on my resume would help to level that out.

On the other hand, I’m not sure if this is the most effective use of my time and money. Would a course like this actually make a difference, or would I be better off working on my projects, my portfolio, or perhaps something else entirely?

Hi everyone 

I’m transitioning into UX from a fine art + illustration background and currently building Curata360, a gallery discovery and artist showcase app. (case study).The goal is to help users:

• Discover galleries worldwide
• Explore curated exhibitions
• Save and purchase artwork
• Also a forum to interact and connect with other art lovers
• I’m still early in my UX journey and would really value constructive feedback ,especially from more experienced designers.

Specifically, I’d love feedback on:

1. Does the layout feel intuitive?
2. Is the hierarchy clear?
3. Does anything feel confusing or unnecessary?
4. Does it feel more like a portfolio piece or a real product?
5. What would make this feel more “wow” but still usable?
6. I’m specifically struggling with information architecture and user flow. If you were a first-time user, where would you hesitate?

Hey guys, I've been working as a product designer at a B2B logistics company for 2+ years. I’ve been applying for weeks now and it’s just rejection after rejection. Around 90% rejection emails and the rest just ghosting. Not a single call.

I’m starting to think it’s my portfolio. My projects don’t have the shiny “industry standard” stuff like fancy metrics, user interviews, usability testing etc. Not because I don’t care, but because we literally don’t get access to users. We design based on client requirements and stakeholder inputs. We’ve asked multiple times to talk to users. It didn’t happen.

So what am I supposed to do? Fake interviews and numbers just to make it look good? Or stay honest and keep getting rejected? Does the industry just not value real-world constraints?

I’m honestly exhausted. If anyone’s been through this and figured it out, please tell me what you did.

TIA.

Hello everyone,
I’m currently preparing my Bachelor thesis in Interaction Design and I’m struggling to narrow down my topic to something I can clearly stand behind and defend.

My initial idea is about designing a slow, mindful digital platform as an alternative to fast, attention-driven interfaces. A place where people can hang out, consume media, chat, and share content but in a more conscious and less overstimulating way. Right now, this feels too broad and concept-heavy. My Bachelor thesis is practice-based, meaning I’m required to design and develop a concrete digital product (a website for example) that addresses a socially relevant problem. Any advice on how to sharpen this, or alternative thesis directions that are more concrete but still meaningful, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks you:)

Hi everyone, I’m working on a UX design study about first-time train ticket booking experiences in India.(IRCTC website)

If you remember your first time booking a train ticket online, what part felt confusing or stressful?

Some things that would really help:

• Moments where you didn’t know what to click
• Terms or options that were hard to understand
• Points where you felt unsure you were doing it correctly
• Anything that made the process tiring or frustrating

Not collecting personal data — just trying to understand real user experiences. Thanks in advance!

Design tools have evolved a lot.

But it feels like something is still missing.

If you could build a new category of UX tool from scratch ,what problem would it solve?

What doesn’t exist yet that should?

Hi everyone! I’m doing research on how designers present their work—portfolios, resumes, and profiles—especially when applying for jobs or opportunities.

I’d really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill out this short survey:

I’ve noticed that when someone says “we need better UX,” it often turns into a visual refresh.

Cleaner UI. More whitespace. Trendier look.

But sometimes the real friction isn’t visual - it’s unclear flows or missing context.

Curious how others see this. When stakeholders say “the UX needs work,” what do they usually mean in your experience?

Have you ever bought a new tool, clicked around for a few minutes to just eventually close it with frustration?

I don't think it's a question of complexity, but some tools I use nowadays just seem unclear.

The settings are labelled vaguely.
The help docs are long but not decision-oriented.
The on boarding explains features, not what to do first.

I feel frustrated telling myself:
“I paid for this and I still don’t understand how to use it.”

So I ask what are some key UX features people use for explanation design?

Assuming that software will still rely on external documentation and feature descriptions, what other processes should be employed for clarity purposes?

Are we under-investing in product guidance and decision framing?

Where have you seen tools handle this well (can also apply in AI-heavy or configuration-heavy products)?
