Did you know that your passion for RPGs can make you a better UX designer? Tune in to our live podcast debut where Randy takes us through his journey with live tabletop RPGs and the core UX principles he discovered along the way. From ensuring seamless interactions to crafting enjoyable user experiences, we explore the surprising parallels between gaming and design strategy.
Take a trip back to the early days of web design, when logo placement was a gamble and navigation menus were chaotic. Remember when logo placement was a guessing game and navigation menus were all over the place? Today’s sophisticated design systems and component libraries have streamlined the web, yet present new challenges. We discuss how to stand out in this refined environment, the rising demand for senior UX professionals, and the industry's latest hurdles, including layoffs and the relentless pursuit of that elusive final 20% of design perfection.
Finally, we break down the essentials of UX and UI design, emphasizing why positive user experiences are non-negotiable. Learn how human psychology, basic economics, and systems thinking can predict user behavior and drive business success. Borrowing lessons from Gordon Ramsay and the quirky show "Nathan for You," we highlight the continuous improvement ethos that defines UX design. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just curious about the field, this episode is packed with valuable insights and plenty of laughs to keep you entertained.
