Hi 👋 Any good UX books for senior designer level that helps with strategy, and good frameworks, or anything that will help me with my thought process? I have the basic books like don’t make me think, and 100 things. I’ll be joining a startup soon as chief designer, and will be back to being a full stack designer — I’ve been an IC for the past few years, so I definitely need to improve on strategies and maybe frameworks when it comes to UX. Will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks! 🙏🏻

I recently switched to an agency that has some bread-and-butter type clients (e.g., manufacturing). I’m coming from health-focused clients and I’m highly creative. Honestly, I’m worried about working on these more technical accounts.

I have 2.5y of product experience at an early-stage startup. This is my first product job where I’ve learned most of what I know on the job itself. Though I’ve shipped our core product from 0-to-1 and it’s doing well, I’m not sure if I’m doing my job properly or well. How/where can I practically learn how I should be doing things including but not limited to discovery, metrics, GTM, etc so that I can feel more confident about my work? This lack of confidence is translating to interviews as well

Any tips on transitioning from a senior designer to ui/visual designer? Should I take a course? Study ux and ui even though I want to focus on UI?

Quick poll: what is better for design, Mac or PC setups?

I am a UX designer and have spoken with a potential client who intially wanted to redesign the navigation and landing page of their site. They showed me analytics saying only .35% of users open the main menu (most access different pages through Google search and then leave the site) so it's not worth the time to redesign. I see a lot of growth potential here, but they don't see the value in good nav if users don't already use it. How do I show them the value of good nav? Should I just let it go?

I have a good eye for visual design, but I'm a bit scared of the business strategy, analytics and testing part. Where do I start to learn those skills? I know the basics of testing and conducting workshops, but I don't know how to develop those skills further. My company focuses on UI and I haven't been lucky to land a PD job. Do companies really look for all those skills?

Few tips to improve your visual design skills

- Learn Typography: Typography is essential because 60-70% of user interfaces are about written content displayed in a meaningful way.

- Learn Layout and Composition: You don’t need to be pixel perfect, but if you place labels 10px above inputs, you must do that consistently across your whole design.

- Learn Color: Color doesn't need to be complex. Understand how colors interact with each other and learn how color can set moods.
