In our organisation, in order to ship features, we use three different concepts in order to organise, shape and decide on what we need to do.

I have been ‘raised’ with no wireframing (agency)
- It doesn’t emphasise with people’s imagination
- Doesn’t work with content
- Clients don’t understand it
- Easy to use existing components.
- You have to design twice.
However, with AI building and work in product teams, wireframing is back.

Topics I am thinking about in the near future
🗣️ User research and feedback (Done!)
⚜️ What is craft in product design and how can you address it
©️ The world of copy in product design
🔄 Product iterations, how to tackle them, what issues, how is it valuable and why you (don’t) need it.
And yours?

Always nice to do some work on new color schemes for traffic lights, errors, information, scores and positive and negative charts.
Now using Tailwind CSS UIColors app, Figma internal color gradient tool and Contrast Tool.
What’s your color challenge?

What to consider when going in to product & design:
1. Design with product building hat on.
2. Know how design contributes to business objectives
3. Design for impact (e.g. product metrics)
4. Focus on craft & prototype to differentiate in the business

🔐 Yesterday, I was at @InfoSec
One of the key learnings was that visitor were surprised to have engineering/product/design there. I even had to wear my sales hat, pitch new features and solutions. And they loved to talk about design, give feedback and share their problems.

Usually not a massive fan of a brand positioning and messaging, if the product is not of value or not solving problems. However, with AI models, it's the other way around.
