Ethnio demonstrates how organizations can: Streamline cross-functional collaboration and automate many DesignOps challenges with

The design process is a collaborative effort where designers seek input and ideas from other design teams, product teams, engineers, and other stakeholders. Design collaboration tools help bring these people and ideas into a centralized workflow to increase productivity and streamline projects. UXPin Merge is a design technology that’s able to sync design and development,

Design thinking exercises are crucial in fostering creative problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation.

Heuristic evaluation is the review of a user interface based on a set of usability principles. It helps surface usability problems throughout the design process and can save countless hours of development time by fixing usability issues before they go live. A formal heuristic evaluation consists of 3–5 usability experts examining an interface to highlight

The following article is written by UXPin’s developer, Robert Kirkman, who shares how UXPin Merge makes the design handoff easier from both (a developer and designer) perspectives. Once the prototypes are ready for production, the designer hands them off to developers. Such a process can be troublesome – the right tool stack being a part

Many organizations and startups adopt one or more UX design frameworks to deliver successful projects. Design teams use these frameworks to guide decision-making and solve problems. Design frameworks can help with project delivery, like Lean UX or Double Diamond, or achieve outcomes for a specific feature by applying the Fogg Behavior Model or Hooked Model.

To deliver successful outcomes, design project management incorporates several key UX functions, including creative direction, UX design, DesignOps, and design leadership. This article explores the design project management discipline, a manager’s skills, relevant tools, and the five stages from initiation to final delivery. Achieve better results during the design process with high-quality, interactive prototypes using

Just completed the final iteration of your prototype? Great! Let’s send the design to the development team, so they can translate it to code.

Building a design system is expensive. Whether an organization develops from scratch or adopts an open-source design system, theming is crucial for customization. This customization could be as simple as creating a dark mode or a multi-brand design system to accommodate a product suite. Design tokens and variables are crucial to design system theming, allowing

If you’ve ever heard about continuous discovery (CD), then high chances are you associate it with the work of product managers. However, this agile approach to research and project refinement isn’t confined to product people work only. It’s also a critical part of how design teams shape products and create value.  CD offers a method
