What’s the biggest difference between your designs and a $20 template? Companies ask themselves this every time they enter the market.

Turns out, there’s one subtle detail that gives design its entire personality…

Designing web and mobile experiences is no easy feat. It can be tough to visualize complex digital experiences you’re creating with just artboards. You should save your imagination for creating your designs, not waste it racking your brain on how they will interact in real life. That’s why we created UXPin’s new Mirror app. It

Agile is the most common methodology for software product development today. And, it makes sense. In the waterfall days, designers and developers followed requirements that were hundreds of pages long. Products were fully designed, and then fully developed.

The role of typography in design is enormous – that goes without saying. Uber has its own Uber Move, Airbnb uses Cereal across its product and brand, BBC replaced the good old Gill Sans with Reith.

UXPin’s 8th birthday this month brought on some deeply nostalgic memories. Eight years on the design tools market has given us a pretty broad perspective. We’ve seen trends come and go, big companies enter the market and leave, companies with lots of capital doing nearly nothing and small players out–innovating everyone. One could write endlessly about

On November 11th, UXPin turned eight! Time flies! In 2010 I was 24, working as a UX Manager at a thriving Polish eCommerce company and, after several unsuccessful attempts to start a tech business (the youthful energy!), I took a break from any serious side projects. However, I still wanted to channel my energy towards something productive;

Introduction The creation of advanced designs and prototypes can be tricky these days. At some point, you’ll end up with dozens of artboards or pages that look nearly identical. As a designer, you know that these details are essential for the end product to be presented to your users. But does every small detail need
