Your videos have been a blessing truly. I used to work for a tech company, they had a global lay off, and I was one of the employees hit. Before I was laid off about 7 months prior I did the Google Ux course, but watching your videos has helped me tremendously especially when it comes to UI. But it also has encouraged to try to take the solo path. I’m really tired of working for corporations and being laid off. So again thank you for the lessons and harsh truths that some channels don’t share.

Quite insightful! Thanks for revealing ✨

Really love all what you are doing so far, your website, your courses, your books,.... Since I have to interrupt my studying for some months, but your videos r keeping to not loose the way I want to go on. Thanks for all of those things.

Nice, I like when you are realistic about the UX/UI, thank you. Comunitaction is the key.

Your videos have a great quality of editing and teaching. Please, keep going on! 🎉

I’m glad you talked about the sticky notes 😎 Thank you for sharing and I’m looking forward to the next video 🙏🙏

Really love the way you presented, looking forward to more of these ❤️

The efforts in production and editing are visible, wish more people watch it and stop wasting their time on trying to fit "design thinking" in all case studies 🥶 really loved the simplicity and palatable knowledge in this one ❤

Love this video, please give us more ❤

Great content as always 👍

This video deserves an Oscar for production. What a level! Thanks, Michal. I'm learning a lot here and at your academy :)

I would like to see more about each separate UX method and process in the next videos. Thank you! That was helpful.

I think UX needs to separate itself from the term "Designer." Most "UX Designers" are simply UI and visual designers. If you're not performing heavy research, testing, etc.-only a few are-you're not a UX professional.

Thank you Michal for always keeping it real. I've just finished the (in)famous Google UX Design course on Coursera and I couldn't believe how research heavy the course was. Yes, research is important if there's a specific or unexplored goal to reach but most of the time there's no need to reinvent the wheel and following existing patterns is absolutely fine. I've now signed up to some of your courses to gain more insight into the "real" UX world rather than the Google-centric one that the course showed me.

Love your videos !!

As a UXer that has to now transition to UI, I found your video to be very well explained and everything that was said is true. I would love to hear more on the topic of how both disciplines collide and how can how can this transition go smoother. I assume I’m not the only one in this situation and many UXers would find this information useful! Keep up the good work 😊

This is truly insightful, and i can agree to many of the points you stated especially the wireframes. I would gladly recommend this video to anybody that's just starting in ux in 2024 Also i would love to see more videos like this ❤

Super materiał, tego właśnie potrzebowałem.

Gem of a video 🔥

You are my favorite UXUI Design teacher

I love the simplification into something tangible and real.🤩

Very interesting topic :) A well-told UX story. To be honest, my favorite research as a Freelancer is competition analysis :) My motto is "Design is people, business is people, you won't become a good designer unless you like people." When will the next update of the book "No bull shit guide to UX" be? :) Thanks for everything, best regards.

Cut learning time by watching this vid ✅. Also intro was 🔥

I love that you’re being honest about UX Design in real life. Thank you

thank you malewicz

Can't agree more. You learn, learn, learn, and at every company that I've been working for - only 20% of those UX skills were needed. But usually different 20%, so in general it's good to learn.

Hey. This was pretty realistic. What is missing is going through 5 workshops to decide between what do we even want and then disagree on how to do it.

Finally, a voice of common sense. Thank you :)

I just finished the google UX design course a few weeks ago and this 10 minute video tossed 90% of what I was taught there right into the trash. 😂

We really need you to explain ux process In very simple 😮😮😮

It's best to learn the overall process and theory of UX first then streamline things later. I am stuck with designing from scratch for an entry-level UX researcher like myself since I have no existing companies to work with. I do see these changes for 2024 but the thing that made me think the most was we gotta learn to float before we can swim. I am not a wunderkind or a design prodigy at all, but incorporating research before design really emphasizes user centered design. Maybe it is all the NN/g materials I use but my opinion will probably change the more time I spend in the field and designing.

Im glad you said that about sticky notes - I have seen portfolios where people splash those in the middle and I never understood why because you can’t even read them. 😂 Thanks for breaking it down into an easy to digest format here too … seems like a few companies hire UX researchers but that is a totally different job than designer.

Missing "starry eyed" outro 😭, eye opening video btw 🙌

Great video! For everyone who finished the Google UX course it can be very ''hurtful'' because you learn all these processes and patterns. But also if you evaluate the quality of the projects you do throught the course and the existing products you will see the big gap, not only because of the less experience. I also googled in the beginning and read a lot. I concluded that I have to be a UX doctor to work in the field. After 5 months discovered your work through a fellow designer and shook off all the sh*t and started to make progress in my learning. Yes maybe big companies do this kind of things to spend more money from the budget and make it worth a while. But in cases of Google we are all already into their jam. The precent of people not using google or some of its products??? If you worked in business and with clients there is no way you won't agree with all the points you made. Sorry for the long comment but is a result after reading some of the other comments. Cheers! Keep doing great stuff!

Thanks. Please let me know what is name of the font in the video❤

The thing with research and wireframes. It really depends if it’s a B2B and B2C product. With B2B products UXR is way different than B2C

Coś o diagramach, double diamonds na prawdę by się przydało osobiście potrzebny jest mi taki film bo trudno mi to ogarnąć od innych a ty mówisz w sposób, który dobrze do mnie przemawia :D

could you please make video where you can teach us the steps that a UI/UX Designer need to take while working on the app as freelancer. like from the client idea to hands off the design. if there is already something related to this please mention that Thank you so much

Popcorn: Grabbed Like Button: Obliterated

9:27 Instructions unclear, now I am working as a Light house keeper now 😂😂

Do you have any tutorial for creating those background patterns like the one at 2:07? I don't know if you understand me, those patterns of lines, dots, gradients... they look very good as backgrounds in web design, for example, inside a card, etc. I've been searching for tutorials to create those elements for months but I haven't found anything... is it in any of your courses? I bought one but I wasn't lucky with that

Is their a guide i could follow as beginner?

Im curious how different ux research or test processes is for websites compared to apps or dashboards. Do designers launch the website and then test it and keep working on conversions or they simply design a website hand it over and say goodbye to their clients?

Being a UI/UX designer constantly working in “get shit done” companies, this is the most accurate video on the current state of design I have ever seen

Which industries do you think are currently experiencing something similar to the golden age of UX? I think in popular consumer products, research is not done anymore because they've been around for a bit and have been researched and figured out. But there also must be some new industries where there is still a big need for research and innovation? How about Automotive HMI? VR? crypto?

Thanks god I'm still doing wireframes! hahaha

So what is the roadmap you would suggest for a newbie who wants to get into UX design in 2024?

I really want to know that

maybe that could be in interesting video - faang (or is it mamaa now?) portfolios vs everyone else. this single comment in your video is making me think about reworking my portfolio

I dont use wireframes while designing an app, i directly start with the design, is that wrong or is it okay??

I want to go back to school to study UX/UI, but I am terrified if I will be able to get iob in 2027 since many say that market is already oversaturated with juniors, AI etc. Any opinions from those who are in the industry? 😢

Your focus on current trends is insightful and really helpful. As a new UX designer transitioning from a client-focused background, I appreciate the importance of understanding user needs and clients' goals - not just results. I hope others see the value in your approach as well. While traditional methods are important, my recent projects demonstrate evolving practices. Instead of extensive interviews, I focus on direct user observation and iterative testing with AI. This streamlines my process while maintaining a user-centric focus. I'm always learning and researching to further improve my designs. By the way, your daily design challenges are still going on or not?

Iam shocked how your leaving in the reality it's 12 : 10 am here if I got to the office in the morning this is the exact way how my company will goes through design I have got a job because of you to be honest I am working on health care product and I have 3 version of design but cleint rejected my manger is not willing shedule the meeting with clients simply he's rejecting it iam not able understand client's mind set too And iam not soo confident to tell my design decisions in front of him please make video 📸 on overcoming it ❤ please

I really want to know that 3:58

Let's always remember that UX is just "Design" and good design has always required understanding the customer, their needs and their habits.

Новая камера?

Is learning UI/UX worth it in 2024? 😢

Always thought of this but ,most of them can't admit it. soo pretending to perfom all the process .

i live in a country where people dont take these research interviews seriously if you ask any of them for example they wouldnt care to answer you and i dont wanna look like a fool wandering in the streets interviewing people or stalking them because is socially unacceptable is there any other alternative?

10 seconds ago is mad

UX

Bro... Can you give me your old laptop... 😢 Plz

I will have to disagree with you, in my experience research is still is and will be important. Yes, it depends on the context of the product on how much and what kind of research methodologies you need to do but knowing the users, especially in products that are targeting niche markets is important. Research is needed for feature prioritization and qualitative research has always opened good conversations with stakeholders. Yes, validation research now might not require a dedicated UX researcher but discovery on how product works and bringing this voice of customers to the right people is not going anywhere. That's why companies that do care about the quality of their product still keep UX researchers around. Not so many as before, which might talk in favor of what you are saying, as there is no need for too much research but there is a need. To be honest, I find this video kinda hurtful to the the profession especially because it makes the existing problem (business and product designing together without proper UX collaboration). Instead suggesting to designers to advocate for UXR and improve their communication skills to get buy-in, you are basically suggesting to copy competitors or unknown designers' problems and bring them into the business... I might be wrong but feel free to disagree

You rarely talk about money why is that :)

why is the hook talking about changes but there is not even 1 mention of changes in this video? I get using a strong hook but why have I needed to see a video for 10 min that has nothing toddo with the headline that got me into the video? leave aside the opinion on what you advertise here which is not accurate. you will drive away followers who used to value your content.

the idea that patterns are perfected is incredibly misguided, but it does explain why UX is so terrible on most sites - many people think like this. And even beyond that, patterns may have some consistent usability, but that has nothing to do with the larger journey, or the expectations and thoughts of users. This video is incredibly misguided, and will only make UX shittier and less human-centred.

At some point mobile and web technology came to the point where it is no longer year after year shows a significant breakthrough that will shape how we use these technologies today. This means that the best practices in most cases has been already developed. I’m a fresh ux/ui designer myself who just did a 600 hours course learning all that stuff you shown in a meme image (I just want to design) 😅 thanks for bringing this topic to public 🫶🏻
