What I ♥ about UX design: #1 - I make wish lists
UX designers are really lucky. Designs are essentially end-users’ product/app/interface wish lists, whether they know it or not.
“If I was a frequent user, it’d be awesome if I could do x from y.”
“Based on what we know about these customers, I think they’d really like to be able to x their ys…”
So, I effectively get to write wish lists all year-round — not just on my birthday! And, if I’m especially lucky (read: if my designs are well thought-out and users, fellow designers clients, and tech are on board), these wishes are granted, and the digital space is all the better for it.
