I tried to subscribe to your channel a second time by accident after watching this video...couldn't be more helpful! This is instrumental to my transition into UX! Thank youuuuuu!
Haha that's good to hear! Thank you! What are you transitioning into UX from? Were you already in the design field or elsewhere?
heehee that's me! Awesome video, thank you for covering this, Justeen :)
Haha yes it's you! Does that help answer your questions? Anything else to add?
this so helpful! thank you so much for sharing!
thank you! let me know if you have other questions or any particular topics you want to see in future videos!
This is super helpful. I especially like the part you refer to the collaboration in Design Thinking
Thank you Wenjie! Design thinking is everything haha. It affects how you approach things and hence all their outcomes.
Solid advice as usual! This is super helpful for interviews :))
Thanks Miranda! :) it surely will haha!
This was really helpful, thanks Justeen!
Hi! Glad that is useful for you! Is there anything/any topic that comes to your mind that you want me to cover in future videos?
This video is super helpful! Will be using this to prepare for interviews ✨
Glad that helps! Let me know if you have any questions
Awsome Video, Thanks!
Thanks Sushant! Do you have other related topics or other UX topics in general you would like to see in the future?
There's so much noise out there on UX advice - your videos are so clear, helpful, and actionable. Thank you!!
Hi hi! I’m thank you so much Sydney! Which ones are noises? 😂 now I want to know so I don’t fall in the same trap.
Also let me know if you have further questions! :)
@@Justeen15 Haha some channels just give generic advice that can be found through a simple Google search. I'm coming to CZcams to find advice from the viewpoint of someone who has actionable insights based on industry experience - "how it really is" as opposed to ideals.
@@sydberes This is where I came in haha! I’m a big fan of specific and actionable feedback. It feels very empowering that you can act right away! :) Let me know if you have more questions or any videos you want to see in the future!
This is super helpful, especially for me, an NG designer without much experience working with engineers!
I have a question. For the last action in part one, you said I could ask what I can do to help engineers work faster because I do not know what I do not know. However, I actually do not even know what I should ask!🤣 Do you have any suggestions on how could I come up with such kinds of questions, and what kind of questions I can ask for this action?
Thank you! That's great to hear.
You can literally ask a few word for word:
- how can I help make design handoff easier for you?
- what is your collaboration style? and how I can I do to make things easier for you to build my design?
- what do you need from ux/design to build the products properly?
- what am I missing in the documentation that you need to know to implement up to spec?
Just a few examples and you can play with the wording and rephrase for different context.
Does that help?
Out of curiosity, what is an NG designer?
@@Justeen15 Thank you for your reply, that would definitely help!
An NG designer just refers to New Graduate designers, who are going to graduate from school.
@@brisingr6570 Ah I see
How do you not have a million followers?!?!?!
Thank you Seyma for the comment haha! I wish I have and I hope I do some day. Let me know if you have any questions or particular topics you want to see in future videos!
Which days do you check in? Would Thursday be a good day?
I don't have a set day to check in. The day could really differ depends on company cultures and engineers' schedules. I typically check in at least every two weeks after the project begins, or if I thought of something that I think it's worth mentioning to ENG, I will let them know.
