But you’re obviously not going to record every standup meeting you have that’s why note taking should become a habit. User testing and usability testing sessions often require us to record the session, because we need to go back and analyse what was said and how people responded. In my early career I was responsible for taking minutes of meetings, so this meant I often recorded the meeting because all talking points and decisions had to be noted and it is impossible to write down every word, especially when there are several people at the meeting. That’s why over years of working, I’ve made it a habit to take notes of important points in all meetings. I often forget things said to me just a few minutes ago, not because I wasn’t listening at the time, but because I struggle to recall all the details. They ask follow up question to what you said, and the conversation feels more natural.

Good listeners give you their full attention and make you feel like you’re been heard they are not distracted by other things such as what’s on their screen or the environment around them. I have to make a conscious effort to bring myself back into the moment rather than thinking ahead. But this means I’m not fully focusing on what the person is saying.
UX UI DESIGNER JOBS HOW TO
A lot of the time, and I’ve been guilty of this too, while someone is talking I tend to think of how to respond or what my next question will be. This means actually listening, and listening out for the things they don’t say too. ListeningĪs UX designers, we need to figure out what our users need, what would make their lives easier. They might all seem obvious, but it’s surprising how many people lack some of these soft skills or are just not very good at practicing them. The list below is of soft skills that I’ve noted in other people who have inspired me, and which I’ve tried to emulate and improve upon in my own career. Those who set themselves apart and were good at their job often had skills in addition to those required of them in order to be competent at their job. Having worked as a designer for ten years now (as an architect and a UX designer), I’ve worked with lots of different people from different cultures, backgrounds and at different phases in their career. So how do you set yourself apart? Being competent in Figma and knowing how to do user research are examples of hard skills required for a UX designer, and with practice anyone can become better at these.
Competition is fierce and so many talented people are transitioning into the field of UX design. There are many skills which we need to master and the list is always growing. Sometimes I ask myself why I didn’t just pick something less complicated, less demanding (many designers have felt this way at some point, but here we all are). In fact being a designer of any kind is challenging. Being a UX designer is a challenging job.
