Hey Ansh, the timeline you shared is super helpful! I’m currently working on a case study, and I realized I wasn’t clear about how much time to dedicate to research and competitor analysis. I was focusing more on creating visually appealing screens rather than identifying the features I need to add or the must-have ones. This video was a game changer. loved it!
MY Top Learning: As a UI/UX designer, I learned how to tackle projects properly. Among many ideas, highlighting the importance of asking the right questions to stakeholders, performing serious competitive investigation using tools like Mobin, and setting up a detailed product requirement document (PRD) come to mind. The video emphasizes that before taking any action in detail, one should know business goals, target audiences, and technical limitations. Furthermore, the important issue of documenting design work and cooperating smoothly with developers and product managers. Following the framework in this video, novices will get a firm start in their UI/UX design careers.
I think the most value this video provides is being able to relate the already known design process to how different designers approach that and how they do it and that makes this stand out
My learnings from this video are: 1. Understanding why we need to do what we are doing 2. Collaborate with developer and client to align the goals and to know what we can do 3. Must to have features must be prioritized 4. Fundamentals about the product should be clear 5. Spend more time on research I just got my first client to work for. I really didn't knew where and how to start from and then this series drops. This really gave me clarity how and what to do. Please keep this going. Forever grateful.
Hey Ansh, I'm a huge fan of your videos and your explanations. Not only do I learn about UI/UX, but I also try to emulate the way you speak and present your points. It's almost like you're not real (that's a compliment!). I'm incredibly grateful to have your videos as a resource while I'm learning UI/UX. P.S.: Never stop making videos, ever! Riya
I’ve watched countless UX videos, but this one stands out! The depth of insights, real-world examples, and structured approach make this a must-watch for every designer🙌. Keep up the amazing content Ansh⭐
This is a very informative video on how designers can start their first project. I can relate to this a lot. It’s so true that most of us focus on visual design, but the UX research behind it is equally important. Here's my top learning from the video: ➡How to work as a solo designer and with founders, Developers and PMs. ➡How to ask the right questions and use ChatGPT for it. ➡Always ask why and how this product is useful for business metrics. ➡Creating PRD ➡Competitor Analysis using Mobbin This video is helpful for my design project, and while we have the best industry designers to guide us, it sets a benchmark and credibility for aspiring designers who can take value from it and make the most of it
One specific thing that I loved the most was to redefine the kano model into must-have and nice-to-have feature lists- it just simplifies the overall concepts.
FInally built up some courage to restart my Design career. Im already working in a startup without any clear idea. i am also a lone designer. So right now as a day 1, I learnt a lot. some of the points aligned very well as to my current career life. Some of points that I liked and match my current situation are: - I need to do bit more research for the company to understand more clearly. now that I got to know how can I use chatgpt for what type of questions. i have gained some confidence. - Need to finalize the color palette for our company. I've fixed some, but haven't fully finalized and eliminated other colors. - Need to check with user flows more to differentiate and improve our app from direct competitors. Currently, these are fine for now. I'm planning to start a random project and start along with this video.
The video was super helpful and insightful for self taught designers like me. I loved the design briefs, your emphasis on asking 'why' behind every design decision and focus on design research and how to do it. Tips on how to analyse user flows, business goals and success metrics really stood out and I'm documenting my learnings as well. It was a really great tip and I will take these learnings to my next projects as well. Thanks, Ansh🙌❤
For the past 3 months, I’ve been deep diving into case studies for my portfolio, but I now realize I’ve been approaching them the wrong way. My Top 3 Learnings Include : 👉 At the Beginning, Focus on market and competitive research to ensure designs align with business goals, moving beyond just aesthetics. 👉 Prioritizing and Understanding user flows and familiar UI patterns to create intuitive, user-friendly experiences. 👉 Embracing Constraints to see as opportunities to innovate and create practical, creative solutions rather than limitations.
Mobbin is game changer..! love the way you explain every point step by step procedure of solving any problems. Thanks again! and love to see the next part of this series.
Great Video, I am starting a freelance project and this will definitely help me during my process. Cant wait for the following videos on this topic. My learning from the video: 1. Asking the right questions early-like the project’s scope, target audience, and desired outcomes and stakeholders vision-can save time and drive impactful solutions. 2. Leveraging tools available in the market like Mobbin, chatGPT can be really helpful for quick research-perfect for projects with tight timelines. 3. A PRD isn’t just a formality-it’s a roadmap. It ensures clarity on goals, audiences, and priorities, making the design process efficient and aligned with stakeholder expectations. 4. Keeping track of discussions, decisions, and feedback ensures that everyone is on the same page. 5. Ultimately, designing isn’t just about aesthetics-it’s about understanding user behavior, aligning with business objectives, and crafting solutions that create value.
👋Hey Ansh! First of all, thank you on behalf of the entire design community. We are all incredibly grateful for this design series you’ve initiated, bringing in top experts to share their process and insights. It’s truly an amazing step to help beginners, mid-level, and senior designers refine their design process and learn from what the top 1% of designers are doing. My top learnings from the first episode are: 📌 Know your company or client. 📌 Always start with questions. 📌 Ask a lot of Why's to refine the problem statement. 📌 Understand the business goals and research about user problems. 📌 Use Mobbin for research. 📌 Research about user problems. 📌 Competitors are the best way to know your user's problems and help you prioritize features. 📌 Never start a UX project without asking questions. 📌 Always document your research and your learnings. 📌 Create a question bank to finalize the basic structure of PRD. 📌 UX Design Project Checklist 🔥🔥🔥
My top learnings: 1. Make a list of questions for your stakeholders. Leverage 🛠️ tools like chatgpt for prompting questions for CEO, Developer and Product Manager related to business goals, User needs, Revenue model, Timelines. 2. Scan the competitors using apps like mobbins and identifying the ux gaps to improve upon the PRD. List and divide the tentative feature into MUST HAVE features and NICE-TO-HAVE features. Priorities MUST HAVE features as it is the core functionality related features. 3. The basic structure of PRD should have business goals in terms of retention rate, lead generation, inc revenue by x%. 4.Make 2-3 core user persona based on interview and Identifying what the user is trying to achieve in this app. 5. Find the technical requirements and design constraints a company had and then prepare the layout of the product.
My top learning - 1. Clear, structured approach to starting UX research. 2. Refreshed my knowledge after 6 years of experience. 3. Gave practical insights on approaching UX design projects. 4. Helpful tips on gathering user insights effectively.
Hey Ansh! Before watching this video I was so confused about how I will start my project from scratch. And I like the prompt which you give us to find best questions which we will ask the founder, PMs and product managers. And I. In the end I will really appreciate you because you put too much effort in this masterclass. And give a video proper notes.
I subscribed to your channel a long time ago, and today I came across this video that helped me understand many concepts. I noted the points you mentioned and plan to follow up on them. Thank you so much for creating this video; it was exactly what I needed!
I would really love if you create a Part -2 where you talk about projects we create by ourselves to get a job, these days it is getting harder to find a good problem statement, which solves a bigger problem, gives us creative freedom, is not repetitive, and can actually generate revenue. Thank you!
As a beginner UX designer, my learning are: 1. Doing deep research at different hierarchical levels is crucial part prior framing questions. 2. Understanding user needs, identifying design goal for the company, comparing competitor apps ensuring a user-centered design and ask quality questions to CEO, Developers and product managers before jumping right into making UI. 3. Keep a track of design by making PRD of the project.
Thank you Ansh for this video. It has been incredibly helpful, especially in understanding how to handle clients and pms which this is the biggest challenge for me right now. Dealing with different types of clients, especially when we're just starting out. I don’t think I can suggest any improvements to video it’s perfectly organized and very helpful. But, I have a thought I’d like to share. You’re teaching us how to leverage AI and use ChatGPT effectively in our workflows, which is great. But one concern comes to mind - critical thinking. In interviews, for example, we’re often asked about how we approach problems or think critically. While GPT is amazing for brainstorming and solving problems, I feel that constant reliance on it might affect our ability to think critically on our own. It’s a valuable tool, especially for those who’ve already developed their critical thinking skills and can use GPT to validate or expand their ideas. But for those who haven’t built that foundation like the newers it feels like they skip that imp. step and simply copy and paste whatever GPT provides. Don’t you think this could become a problem in the long run? That’s just a thought I wanted to share. Again Thank you for this amazings video!
It might be very critical for beginners..but not that much for experienced persons bcoz till then they are more clear with their approach. But my opinion was..sometimes issue isn't a real problem it's about changing how we use or see to that problem or the product. Sometimes to handle complex problems simplicity is the best key. And being simple and oneess is the real challenge.. My answer would be like that... 🥲😁
Understanding of business, Understanding of tech, understanding of human behaviour and patterns, experience of converting secondary research to cool app
The whole video have top learnings - very insightful - one of it is very important to be very pictureful clear about the process u r working n creating to reach the goal - How to be very clear with different hierarchical people involved in process
"Thank you so much @Ansh Mehra for this insightful video! It's been incredibly helpful in preparing me for my UX/UI design journey. I learned many valuable lessons, including: 1. Key questions to ask our company and stakeholders before starting a project 2. How to leverage ChatGPT and Mobbin for design inspiration 3. Prioritizing must-have features over nice-to-have features 4. Conducting competitor research to inform design decisions 5. Effective time management strategies for the first two days of a project This video was a game-changer, clarifying many concepts for me. Thanks again for sharing your expertise!"
Thank you ansh .... you always create awesome content regarding uiux ... this is best not only in Indian youtuber but compare to global youtuber no body creates such great content in a single video.... Thank you so much
Hey Ansh, As usual doing a great job🎉🎉 such a wonderful and clear Contents. After I learned your UI design Series I go to learn the UX Concepts in Coursera and NPTL courses to learn all those stuffs but this was an amazing and concise clear content and easily understand all those things in a real world experience. Each and every designers perspective of conducting a Research is very different and it is more Insightful too🎉. Once Again thank you for creating such a wonderful Contents for free of cost💛🙏. I knew it was too late to Comment.
Heyy Ansh, the video was super helpful as I studied your Dev Handoff video and was eager to know the research a designer has to go through beforehand. It was easy to understand and with different minds and their opinion got to know several insights. Thanks for making such helpful videos.
Loved the video, it answered so many of my doubts! If this had come a month ago, I would’ve started my project with a completely different mindset. These key points will still help me a lot! Thank you, Ansh bhaiya! Here are my quick takeaways: 1. Ask the right questions to CEOs, PMs, or developers. Not sure how? Take help from ChatGPT. 2. Define the problem statement clearly and analyze business metrics, competition, and their flows. 3. Take time to frame questions, understand user pain points via interviews or app reviews. 4. Start with a subtle design system-use pre-built ones or the company’s existing system. 5. Understand technical constraints and collaborate with developers. 6. Create a PRD and have detailed discussions with the team. And ALWAYS document research findings, competitor flows, or anything important about the project!
My Top Learnings --------- 1. Pre-Design Workflow Understand the Problem Statement: Clarify doubts with the CEO or stakeholder. Research references and ChatGPT anything unclear. 2. Prepare a Questionnaire: CEO: Goals, KPIs, focus (functionality or aesthetics). Product Manager: Product image, customer base. Developers: Constraints, expectations. Document and Align: 3. Use Notion to organize information and align with all stakeholders. Create a Checklist: Features (must-have/nice-to-have), resources, and timelines. Research Competitors: 4. Analyze competitors on Mobbin and identify gaps. Start Designing: 5. Begin creating components and screens once aligned.
My Top learnings from the Video: 1.Spending more time on research rather than directly designing. 2. How useful mobbin is! 3. How to make use of chatgpt and other AI Tools 4. Asking Questions is must to better understand the requirements and to be asked to Stakeholders, Project managers and the developers.
Key Learnings: - Ask stakeholders questions to define the end goal. Create a question list for the CEO, developers, and product managers. - Research what competitors are doing and identify the challenges they face. - We need to understand the company's stage: growth, establishment, or prioritizing revenue over customers. Our design should align with their phase. - List the must-have and nice-to-have features, prioritizing the must-haves first. - Most designers focus on what to do and how to do it but don't spend enough time on why it's necessary. We need to understand the "why" behind it. Thank you for the valuable video Ansh Mehra ✨
Ansh, I think you've created videos that explain app features and functionality in a way that's easy for beginners to understand. You break down the details of navigation, icons, and what happens when you click on certain buttons, making it simple for users to learn about the app's features and get the most out of it. Explain brief all about the App or web so we know all things.
Few take aways for me are: - Start with asking questions to stakeholders and understand their business needs. - Analyze competitors - Develop a rough PRD with clear timelines and features. - Gather info on metrics for success and understand business challenges - Provide solution based on stakeholder's needs
My top learning from your video. Not Only about the UX it's all about the confidence knowing about tools explorations of of the new field you taught me the best things from which you can help me to do. The learning are :- 1. Clear knowledge of Design. 2. How to think creative and be the problem solver and make human life easier. 3. Give all the app and the websites for inspiration and to be productive. Thank you very much 😊😊 It's not only about to get the mobbin subscription it's all about my learning and experience and please reply to get motivated.
Here are my learnings: Ask the right question to CEO, developer etc. Get inspiration from mobbin. Spend 1 week and go deeper into what needs to done than -> Keep refining and defining problem statements. Make PRD of project Analyze what competitors are doing atleast 2 3. What are the same elements in there UI designs. And more but limit is 50 so...
My Top Learnings: - How to plan a project - Documenting and interacting with stakeholders - Insights from various designers which I'll try to implement in my next project
Ansh you make very helpful content for desiners I have an request to you, pls make a video in which you cover all the process of ux. For example how to get a user persona, how to conduct surveys, what are doing in Ux before starting the Ui design and so many questions which come in the brain for a beginner because there is no video in youtube who teach about it.
My Approach: 1. Idea. 2. Explore more n more to gain more ideas 3. By sorting some points create some concepts. 4. Set Aim and pick up some concepts and use to create a product concept. 5. Then go for deep ux research.... Now i get more n more clarity and most important..i always face challenges to document it in a propoer professional manner bcoz i donno what is the steucture of that. I always use to prompt the chatgpt as make document in professional manner .. and still face some issues .. in docuent .. Now it is more clear and more professional one. Thanku thanku thanku so much bhaiyyaa...🤗🤗 I have came up with some brillinat idea... And with this approach i will create the document and the case study... I will share it with u soon.... Stay tuned😉
My today's top learnings are AS a designer our work is not all about making thing good looking as a designer we need to learn 4 core skills that is (1) DEFINING problem statement (2) Finding pattern across Data and trends. (3) Analysis business metrics (4)Predicting customer Behavior . while designing keep asking ourself question , indentify what users trying to achieve from the app what vision that the stakeholder or founder has ..... wholesome video by our wholesome bhaiya ;0 Thankyou so much
Its really sad to see how less views your videos are getting ansh, in contrast to the quality and value of each video. Hope better days are ahead, don't stop making contents
Great insights in the video! How would you adapt this process for an agency setting where deadlines are tight, a single designer handles multiple projects, and clients often have unrealistic demands? Any tips for streamlining without compromising on quality or creativity?
One of theost important questions to ask in my opinion is "If your app disappeared tomorrow, will the users really miss it! If no then the priorities have to be reconsidered.? Comment down below what are some of the apps you'll really miss if they disappear. And why
What a Masterclass! A comprehensive approach to learn about how to begin a Product development project. I have begin learning UI/ UX Design and this masterclass is like to see the process of building things from scratch. It made me feel like I am a part of the Product Design team, trying to understand the nuances to be taken care of while building this project. Hats off to you and your team!

The video emphasizes that before taking any action in detail, one should know business goals, target audiences, and technical limitations. Furthermore, the important issue of documenting design work and cooperating smoothly with developers and product managers. Following the framework in this video, novices will get a firm start in their UI/UX design careers.
I think the most value this video provides is being able to relate the already known design process to how different designers approach that and how they do it and that makes this stand out
You are bringing so much valuable stuff to us at free of cost, thank you so much! 🙏🏻
My learnings from this video are:
1. Understanding why we need to do what we are doing
2. Collaborate with developer and client to align the goals and to know what we can do
3. Must to have features must be prioritized
4. Fundamentals about the product should be clear
5. Spend more time on research
I just got my first client to work for. I really didn't knew where and how to start from and then this series drops. This really gave me clarity how and what to do. Please keep this going. Forever grateful.
So many precious information in a single 30 min video... Amazing 🤯 I'm watching it in loop and still learning everytime, thank you so much!!! 🤩
Hey Ansh,
I'm a huge fan of your videos and your explanations. Not only do I learn about UI/UX, but I also try to emulate the way you speak and present your points. It's almost like you're not real (that's a compliment!). I'm incredibly grateful to have your videos as a resource while I'm learning UI/UX.
P.S.: Never stop making videos, ever!
Riya
I’ve watched countless UX videos, but this one stands out! The depth of insights, real-world examples, and structured approach make this a must-watch for every designer🙌. Keep up the amazing content Ansh⭐
so happy to read this
Guys trust me , if you watch his videos only for 10-20 days you'll be able to speak basic english !!
This is a very informative video on how designers can start their first project. I can relate to this a lot. It’s so true that most of us focus on visual design, but the UX research behind it is equally important. Here's my top learning from the video:
➡How to work as a solo designer and with founders, Developers and PMs.
➡How to ask the right questions and use ChatGPT for it.
➡Always ask why and how this product is useful for business metrics.
➡Creating PRD
➡Competitor Analysis using Mobbin
This video is helpful for my design project, and while we have the best industry designers to guide us, it sets a benchmark and credibility for aspiring designers who can take value from it and make the most of it
One specific thing that I loved the most was to redefine the kano model into must-have and nice-to-have feature lists- it just simplifies the overall concepts.
FInally built up some courage to restart my Design career. Im already working in a startup without any clear idea. i am also a lone designer. So right now as a day 1, I learnt a lot. some of the points aligned very well as to my current career life.
Some of points that I liked and match my current situation are:
- I need to do bit more research for the company to understand more clearly. now that I got to know how can I use chatgpt for what type of questions. i have gained some confidence.
- Need to finalize the color palette for our company. I've fixed some, but haven't fully finalized and eliminated other colors.
- Need to check with user flows more to differentiate and improve our app from direct competitors.
Currently, these are fine for now. I'm planning to start a random project and start along with this video.
The video was super helpful and insightful for self taught designers like me. I loved the design briefs, your emphasis on asking 'why' behind every design decision and focus on design research and how to do it.
Tips on how to analyse user flows, business goals and success metrics really stood out and I'm documenting my learnings as well. It was a really great tip and I will take these learnings to my next projects as well.
Thanks, Ansh🙌❤
This video is doing justice to what it is titled. Awesome efforts for production.
For the past 3 months, I’ve been deep diving into case studies for my portfolio, but I now realize I’ve been approaching them the wrong way. My Top 3 Learnings Include :
👉 At the Beginning, Focus on market and competitive research to ensure designs align with business goals, moving beyond just aesthetics.
👉 Prioritizing and Understanding user flows and familiar UI patterns to create intuitive, user-friendly experiences.
👉 Embracing Constraints to see as opportunities to innovate and create practical, creative solutions rather than limitations.
Finally a matured design video! Please make more of these!
Mobbin is game changer..! love the way you explain every point step by step procedure of solving any problems. Thanks again! and love to see the next part of this series.
Avengers Assemble 🎉
Great Video, I am starting a freelance project and this will definitely help me during my process. Cant wait for the following videos on this topic.
My learning from the video:
1. Asking the right questions early-like the project’s scope, target audience, and desired outcomes and stakeholders vision-can save time and drive impactful solutions.
2. Leveraging tools available in the market like Mobbin, chatGPT can be really helpful for quick research-perfect for projects with tight timelines.
3. A PRD isn’t just a formality-it’s a roadmap. It ensures clarity on goals, audiences, and priorities, making the design process efficient and aligned with stakeholder expectations.
4. Keeping track of discussions, decisions, and feedback ensures that everyone is on the same page.
5. Ultimately, designing isn’t just about aesthetics-it’s about understanding user behavior, aligning with business objectives, and crafting solutions that create value.
👋Hey Ansh!
First of all, thank you on behalf of the entire design community. We are all incredibly grateful for this design series you’ve initiated, bringing in top experts to share their process and insights.
It’s truly an amazing step to help beginners, mid-level, and senior designers refine their design process and learn from what the top 1% of designers are doing.
My top learnings from the first episode are:
📌 Know your company or client.
📌 Always start with questions.
📌 Ask a lot of Why's to refine the problem statement.
📌 Understand the business goals and research about user problems.
📌 Use Mobbin for research.
📌 Research about user problems.
📌 Competitors are the best way to know your user's problems and help you prioritize features.
📌 Never start a UX project without asking questions.
📌 Always document your research and your learnings.
📌 Create a question bank to finalize the basic structure of PRD.
📌 UX Design Project Checklist 🔥🔥🔥
Really good insights on how to approach a UX project. Looking forward to more such videos.
My top learnings:
1. Make a list of questions for your stakeholders. Leverage 🛠️ tools like chatgpt for prompting questions for CEO, Developer and Product Manager related to business goals, User needs, Revenue model, Timelines.
2. Scan the competitors using apps like mobbins and identifying the ux gaps to improve upon the PRD. List and divide the tentative feature into MUST HAVE features and NICE-TO-HAVE features.
Priorities MUST HAVE features as it is the core functionality related features.
3. The basic structure of PRD should have business goals in terms of retention rate, lead generation, inc revenue by x%.
4.Make 2-3 core user persona based on interview and Identifying what the user is trying to achieve in this app.
5. Find the technical requirements and design constraints a company had and then prepare the layout of the product.
My top learning - 1. Clear, structured approach to starting UX research. 2. Refreshed my knowledge after 6 years of experience. 3. Gave practical insights on approaching UX design projects. 4. Helpful tips on gathering user insights effectively.
Hey Ansh!
Before watching this video I was so confused about how I will start my project from scratch. And I like the prompt which you give us to find best questions which we will ask the founder, PMs and product managers.
And I. In the end I will really appreciate you because you put too much effort in this masterclass. And give a video proper notes.
I subscribed to your channel a long time ago, and today I came across this video that helped me understand many concepts. I noted the points you mentioned and plan to follow up on them. Thank you so much for creating this video; it was exactly what I needed!
This video already answered so many basic things that we need to know before start a ux project....thank you so much.❤
That's so great to hear!
Bro you got to the heart of right mix of good content and brand Collab
I would really love if you create a Part -2 where you talk about projects we create by ourselves to get a job, these days it is getting harder to find a good problem statement, which solves a bigger problem, gives us creative freedom, is not repetitive, and can actually generate revenue. Thank you!
As a beginner UX designer, my learning are:
1. Doing deep research at different hierarchical levels is crucial part prior framing questions.
2. Understanding user needs, identifying design goal for the company, comparing competitor apps ensuring a user-centered design and ask quality questions to CEO, Developers and product managers before jumping right into making UI.
3. Keep a track of design by making PRD of the project.
I love your design related videos and i m a big big fan of your english accent and its flow ❤
Thank you Ansh for this video. It has been incredibly helpful, especially in understanding how to handle clients and pms which this is the biggest challenge for me right now. Dealing with different types of clients, especially when we're just starting out.
I don’t think I can suggest any improvements to video it’s perfectly organized and very helpful. But, I have a thought I’d like to share. You’re teaching us how to leverage AI and use ChatGPT effectively in our workflows, which is great. But one concern comes to mind - critical thinking.
In interviews, for example, we’re often asked about how we approach problems or think critically. While GPT is amazing for brainstorming and solving problems, I feel that constant reliance on it might affect our ability to think critically on our own. It’s a valuable tool, especially for those who’ve already developed their critical thinking skills and can use GPT to validate or expand their ideas.
But for those who haven’t built that foundation like the newers it feels like they skip that imp. step and simply copy and paste whatever GPT provides. Don’t you think this could become a problem in the long run? That’s just a thought I wanted to share. Again Thank you for this amazings video!
I’ll be deep diving into this in our next episode
It might be very critical for beginners..but not that much for experienced persons bcoz till then they are more clear with their approach.
But my opinion was..sometimes issue isn't a real problem it's about changing how we use or see to that problem or the product.
Sometimes to handle complex problems simplicity is the best key.
And being simple and oneess is the real challenge..
My answer would be like that... 🥲😁
Understanding of business, Understanding of tech, understanding of human behaviour and patterns, experience of converting secondary research to cool app
Started from the bottom, and now you are here.
Just so proud of you Ansh.
The whole video have top learnings - very insightful - one of it is very important to be very pictureful clear about the process u r working n creating to reach the goal - How to be very clear with different hierarchical people involved in process
"Thank you so much @Ansh Mehra for this insightful video!
It's been incredibly helpful in preparing me for my UX/UI design journey. I learned many valuable lessons, including:
1. Key questions to ask our company and stakeholders before starting a project
2. How to leverage ChatGPT and Mobbin for design inspiration
3. Prioritizing must-have features over nice-to-have features
4. Conducting competitor research to inform design decisions
5. Effective time management strategies for the first two days of a project
This video was a game-changer, clarifying many concepts for me. Thanks again for sharing your expertise!"
Thank you all for the greatest video ever 😊
Thank you for the support!
Thank you ansh .... you always create awesome content regarding uiux ... this is best not only in Indian youtuber but compare to global youtuber no body creates such great content in a single video.... Thank you so much
Hey Ansh, As usual doing a great job🎉🎉 such a wonderful and clear Contents. After I learned your UI design Series I go to learn the UX Concepts in Coursera and NPTL courses to learn all those stuffs but this was an amazing and concise clear content and easily understand all those things in a real world experience. Each and every designers perspective of conducting a Research is very different and it is more Insightful too🎉. Once Again thank you for creating such a wonderful Contents for free of cost💛🙏. I knew it was too late to Comment.
it's the perfect time to watch this because I already take your classes in Figma.
Thank you so much for the 2025 roadmap video.
Heyy Ansh, the video was super helpful as I studied your Dev Handoff video and was eager to know the research a designer has to go through beforehand. It was easy to understand and with different minds and their opinion got to know several insights. Thanks for making such helpful videos.
Crazy video ... I have just got into this field... And this video really motivated me a lot to keep grinding until I became one of you guys!❤
Loved the video, it answered so many of my doubts! If this had come a month ago, I would’ve started my project with a completely different mindset. These key points will still help me a lot! Thank you, Ansh bhaiya!
Here are my quick takeaways:
1. Ask the right questions to CEOs, PMs, or developers. Not sure how? Take help from ChatGPT.
2. Define the problem statement clearly and analyze business metrics, competition, and their flows.
3. Take time to frame questions, understand user pain points via interviews or app reviews.
4. Start with a subtle design system-use pre-built ones or the company’s existing system.
5. Understand technical constraints and collaborate with developers.
6. Create a PRD and have detailed discussions with the team.
And ALWAYS document research findings, competitor flows, or anything important about the project!
this video is power packed not only with regular knowledge but also giving insights how to incorporate ai in the right way. i love this!!!
Thank youu
Man this video is goldmine! Thank you
My Top Learnings ---------
1. Pre-Design Workflow
Understand the Problem Statement:
Clarify doubts with the CEO or stakeholder.
Research references and ChatGPT anything unclear.
2. Prepare a Questionnaire:
CEO: Goals, KPIs, focus (functionality or aesthetics).
Product Manager: Product image, customer base.
Developers: Constraints, expectations.
Document and Align:
3. Use Notion to organize information and align with all stakeholders.
Create a Checklist:
Features (must-have/nice-to-have), resources, and timelines.
Research Competitors:
4. Analyze competitors on Mobbin and identify gaps.
Start Designing:
5. Begin creating components and screens once aligned.
Next Levl Content, the best channel for design on Internet i say, where we get to know about in reality how thinks happen.
Really thanks for making these things, it hleps a lot to people like me who can't afford paid learning.❤
My Top learnings from the Video:
1.Spending more time on research rather than directly designing.
2. How useful mobbin is!
3. How to make use of chatgpt and other AI Tools
4. Asking Questions is must to better understand the requirements and to be asked to Stakeholders, Project managers and the developers.
Key Learnings:
- Ask stakeholders questions to define the end goal. Create a question list for the CEO, developers, and product managers.
- Research what competitors are doing and identify the challenges they face.
- We need to understand the company's stage: growth, establishment, or prioritizing revenue over customers. Our design should align with their phase.
- List the must-have and nice-to-have features, prioritizing the must-haves first.
- Most designers focus on what to do and how to do it but don't spend enough time on why it's necessary. We need to understand the "why" behind it.
Thank you for the valuable video Ansh Mehra ✨
Ansh, I think you've created videos that explain app features and functionality in a way that's easy for beginners to understand. You break down the details of navigation, icons, and what happens when you click on certain buttons, making it simple for users to learn about the app's features and get the most out of it. Explain brief all about the App or web so we know all things.
Few take aways for me are:
- Start with asking questions to stakeholders and understand their business needs.
- Analyze competitors
- Develop a rough PRD with clear timelines and features.
- Gather info on metrics for success and understand business challenges
- Provide solution based on stakeholder's needs
My top learning from your video.
Not Only about the UX it's all about the confidence knowing about tools explorations of of the new field you taught me the best things from which you can help me to do.
The learning are :-
1. Clear knowledge of Design.
2. How to think creative and be the problem solver and make human life easier.
3. Give all the app and the websites for inspiration and to be productive.
Thank you very much 😊😊
It's not only about to get the mobbin subscription it's all about my learning and experience and please reply to get motivated.
That's awesome to hear! Keep up the great work and keep at it.
This video is so informative Thank you for making such a helpful and valuable resource. It's clear, concise, and truly appreciated. 💯😊
This video is gold mine.
Thank youu
This is such a helpful guide🤍🤍 Thanks Ansh.

Thank you so much, @ansh, for the amazing content...
A lot of information i gained from this.
Thanx brother .❤
It's a power packed video thank you for making such a helpful and informative resource ,It was so clear and concise loved it.
Here are my learnings: Ask the right question to CEO, developer etc.
Get inspiration from mobbin.
Spend 1 week and go deeper into what needs to done than -> Keep refining and defining problem statements.
Make PRD of project
Analyze what competitors are doing atleast 2 3. What are the same elements in there UI designs.
And more but limit is 50 so...
My Top Learnings:
- How to plan a project
- Documenting and interacting with stakeholders
- Insights from various designers which I'll try to implement in my next project
This is valuable and should be paid video thanks for making this
Thank you so much for this video ansh bhaiya it's really a very helpful video for newbie like me.
Ansh you make very helpful content for desiners I have an request to you, pls make a video in which you cover all the process of ux. For example how to get a user persona, how to conduct surveys, what are doing in Ux before starting the Ui design and so many questions which come in the brain for a beginner because there is no video in youtube who teach about it.
My Approach:
1. Idea.
2. Explore more n more to gain more ideas
3. By sorting some points create some concepts.
4. Set Aim and pick up some concepts and use to create a product concept.
5. Then go for deep ux research....
Now i get more n more clarity and most important..i always face challenges to document it in a propoer professional manner bcoz i donno what is the steucture of that. I always use to prompt the chatgpt as make document in professional manner .. and still face some issues .. in docuent ..
Now it is more clear and more professional one.
Thanku thanku thanku so much bhaiyyaa...🤗🤗
I have came up with some brillinat idea... And with this approach i will create the document and the case study... I will share it with u soon....
Stay tuned😉
My today's top learnings are
AS a designer our work is not all about making thing good looking
as a designer we need to learn 4 core skills that is
(1) DEFINING problem statement
(2) Finding pattern across Data and trends.
(3) Analysis business metrics
(4)Predicting customer Behavior .
while designing keep asking ourself question , indentify what users trying to achieve from the app
what vision that the stakeholder or founder has .....
wholesome video by our wholesome bhaiya ;0
Thankyou so much
Great insights, waiting for next parts
This Guy Has compelled me for saying that "_this content is 1000000 times better than our Dumb Daily Vlogers_" Big respect From Pakistan
Really liked this video, waiting for part 2
Its really sad to see how less views your videos are getting ansh, in contrast to the quality and value of each video. Hope better days are ahead, don't stop making contents
Best explanation keep up your good job dude 😮
Liked the video. Now watching it.
hey hey this really helped please release the next episode :)
Great insights in the video! How would you adapt this process for an agency setting where deadlines are tight, a single designer handles multiple projects, and clients often have unrealistic demands? Any tips for streamlining without compromising on quality or creativity?
Thank you so much its really helpfull for me to teach this , ❤
Thank you so much for the informative video
I loved your video. can u make a video on the design case study for the internship? and how to approach them
My mentors are in single screen❤
hi🙋♂,
If I can't find a similar app on Mobbin, how should we start instead?
Thank you for making such informative videos.
Thank youu
Nice video, it is really helpful for freshers like me
exciting for part 2
Great video!
One of theost important questions to ask in my opinion is
"If your app disappeared tomorrow, will the users really miss it! If no then the priorities have to be reconsidered.?
Comment down below what are some of the apps you'll really miss if they disappear. And why
the google form is not accepting any more responses?
is UX design worth to pursue even now after AI
Please guide @ansh
What a Masterclass! A comprehensive approach to learn about how to begin a Product development project.
I have begin learning UI/ UX Design and this masterclass is like to see the process of building things from scratch. It made me feel like I am a part of the Product Design team, trying to understand the nuances to be taken care of while building this project. Hats off to you and your team!
Big fan of chethan and sapta ❤
We are too!
