Who needs UX, just add a label so users will know what to do

After a busy week, on the last day of the Eras Tour, I’m finally getting to read “Invisible Strings: 113 poets respond to the songs of Taylor Swift”, edited by Kristie Frederick Daugherty. What an amazing selection of poets! It has been a delightful experience so far

Here is the basis of my current project and why I avoid the term "UX design" if you are having a really boring Friday night.

There's a video or you can read. It's multimodal!

Great article and gorgeous font!
I explored the details of Leica's proprietary engraved fonts and how they enhance the experience of using their cameras.

“This is where distributed interfaces shine. They don’t do away with screens. They reserve them for situations where the visual presentation of information is the dominant need.“
Think outside the screen
Nobody likes stroking a pane of glass, so why do we love touchscreens so much? Let's build distributed interfaces that work.

Let's encourage HCI/design students to pursue opportunities and experiment with new technology (like AI) without making harmful claims about their career trajectory if they don't.

AI is one of many technologies we may have to design for. Not the "only" one we should learn, teach or prioritize.

Design takes far more than Figma expertise. The best designers I know are amazing collaborators, they know how to work in imperfect environments, know what it takes to make things happen, to work with executives, and ship meaningful changes with engineers. They know when to push and when to pull.

Fellow designers, what design tools or tools in general do you want to try in 2025? For me, it’s Protopie and @rive.app

“Syncing your design and code libraries is […] about creating a shared language and understanding between designers and developers. If the purpose, features, schema, and style of components aren’t aligned, you’ll end up with miscommunication, frustration, and a lot of wasted time.”

Looking for a “12 most problematic design system components, you won’t believe number 3” article.

Can anyone recommend one?

Tabs, tooltips, modals, carousels, accordions, scroll area kind of thing.

Hey #designsky, just created a starter pack for 🇨🇦 Canadian or Canada-based designers (UI, UX, CX, graphic design, etc). Reply if you want to be added or if you know someone to add!

It’s cool to have a design system.
It’s cool to have an accessible design system.
It’s cool to have documentation.

This entire vehicle's UI is created with Rive.

Design and build production-ready interfaces with:

💠 state-driven animation

Love this responsive UI made by Dmitry Novikov with Rive. Not a mockup or a prototype, this is a production-ready asset that can be connected to real data and run anywhere (websites, mobile apps, game engines, custom platforms — anywhere).
