I find user research the most important part of the whole process. Understanding the user is SOOOOOO important to solve their actual problem. Thanks Dee for explaining!

[@careerfoundry]

Thanks Jakub! Great suggestion! Which elements of the research process would you like to see more of?!

[@neelpatel.design]

Very clear and simple explanation about the UX design process. Great work, CareerFoundry and Dee Scarano! Especially @Dee Scarano, I've watched your other videos as well. You're a good teacher!!

[@kjsdesignco]

I’m with a company that is new to having a UX Team. Understanding and research is so integral to the process and so far I think we’re doing a good job of setting the stage for that. These videos are helpful and reassuring! Thank you!

[@tong2480]

Love how you describe every step with so simple and clear explanation and summary! Looking forward to more input. :)

[@careerfoundry]

Thanks Tong, we have more UX explainers like this coming up on our channel!

[@lounote1]

Thanks. I’m a long time graphic designer. Lately I’ve been taking on a bigger role in UX and UI. I’m always looking for ways to improve the design program of a site. This seems to be an ongoing hang up for me, but it’s getting better. In the beginning I was expecting too much from the client. In the last few projects, I’ve been spending more time in these early, structural steps rather than jumping into look and feel. I’m looking for content like this to improve these early steps.

[@careerfoundry]

Thanks Louis, glad you found the video helpful!

[@siddharthgangele2327]

Yes i have a question actually i learned about design process in which design process flow goes like this - Discover - Define - Ideate - Design - testing , now in this process first three i found same but my last two that is Design - testing are some what different from validate - iterations , so which flow is much better to follow as i am beginner and have lot of confusion with this differences in process , please make it clear so that i can follow that process.

[@dorayoung5149]

Yes. Is still the same with urs. her explanation is the best and simple. I was taught understand, ideate, define, prototype and testing and from defining and prototype stages you v to start testing with users so you can iterate at anytime before you reach the final testing with real users

[@maria.33311]

You are really helpfull! I am thinking about starting a course about ux design and have no experience and no idea what that meant. After watching a couple of your videos i might say i would love this thing! You have such a nice energy and calmness in your explanations and i just hope that my tutors would be as bit much like you! Thank you so much and i am up to another video.

Thank you so so much for the tips!!! I've been watching your portfolio videos and I have the same question. How can I change my portfolio for each job application? Let’s asume I have finished my portfolio and I start to apply as a candidate the companies… as I’ll apply simultaneously to two or more companies… How can I match my portfolio to different companies "requirements" at the same time. With the CV it’s easier because I can make different pdfs but the portfolio is a website… how could I manage it? Thank you very much for your help.

How is design thinking different from UX design process or will it be right to say that design thinking and UX design process is similar as they both work on the concept of designing a solution or product or service based on the identification of consumer needs or their pain points?

[@jackdesign5284]

I have a question about "pain points", do we identify them on the stage "understanding" or "analysing"?

[@rojdae9257]

I think you probably have a "good guess" based off of your own perception in the understanding part, but then the analyzing is where you can actually find out based on the data (of research already done) what is an actual "pain point"?

[@jodiethomas1395]

Where do you find people to ask for your research and for testing your ideas? Even if you know who the users/customers will be, how do you make contact with them, and is the research you do one-on-one or in groups?

[@careerfoundry]

Hey Jodie! That's a great question, generally businesses / UX designers will reach out to their existing user base, though if it's a new product / service with no existing user base, you can create a basic ad on Facebook or other social platforms to entice potential users to try out a user test, ideally you'd have around 5 people to test with. You can also reach out to product forums which cover similarly spaced products to recruit people who may be interested, or already active in, a similar area to the new product / service that you're working on. There are various types of user testing, both quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative may include sending out a survey en-masse to a groups of people and analysing the date. Qualitative would involved walking individuals through a specific element of you product / service. We have a number of great articles on these topics here: careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ux-design/quantitative-vs-qualitative-ux-research/ careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ux-design/qualitative-ux-research/ careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ux-design/how-to-conduct-user-experience-research-like-a-professional/ We have a general article on user testing here that might help too: careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ux-design/user-testing-design-thinking/#4-how-to-conduct-user-testing-a-step-by-step-guide Hope this helps?

[@gregtegreg]

The best example of why UX is not the solution to everything: Uber and such. So before these "smart" taxi apps, a person would call for a taxi and get one. That was it > call a number, speak the address and wait. Now? Open an app, write an address, wait to scan the area, multiple choices, choose a car based on ratings, select car, agree with said car, wait. See the problem? Technology is supposed to make things better and faster but instead we complicate things.

[@Moudiremoo]

I don't agree. If you make survey,most will choose the second process rather than a call. If you asked why, then there are a lot of reasons (more precise, conviencience, fun to do, more secure, cost save, and alot of other reasons) also, i think some apps include both processes.
