5 things I hate about UX Design
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 жов 2021
- I don't hate my job as a UX designer, but there are things I wish I knew about before my first UX design job. This is by no means made to discourage people from pursuing a UX designer career change. I just wished someone had warned me about some of these truths before my UX designer career so I could better prepare. Don't you worry, at the end of the day, I love being a UX / Product Designer!

Hi all! A few things I wanted to preach before leaving comments:
1.) Please treat others online as you would IRL.
2.) This is a safe space to disagree and give feedback, but there is a way to do this without being disrespectful to me and others here.
3.) We are all human and are not perfect. Empathy goes a long way here and in successful UX Design careers.
Thank you for your support

Oh my god. Your fourth and fifth point is my biggest fear of being UX designer. I’m so glad that you brought that up because I felt like I’m the only one who’s dreaming to become a UX designer as a super introvert. The fact that UX designers will have so many meetings and will have to debate with people made me stop and really think about the job again. I’m just starting this career and now I see a little bit of hope just by seeing someone who has a same issue with me. Thank you so much Mimi!
Hi Jessie! Glad to hear I was able to help! As a fellow introvert, I totally know what you mean and it can be overwhelming at times, but I find these as learning opportunities and they really have helped me grow in my career!
how is it going so far for you btw?? I would love to hear your experiences too because i’m a mega introvert too🥲
@@luvacias I'm an UX consultant from Germany and kind of like introvert. After 2 years, it's still an uncomfortable situation to speak and moderate workshops and stuff. It's like going out of your comfort zone, but daily. I'm thinking of changing into UI, but it doesn't pay so well.
@@unknown.135 is a UX consultant different from a UX designer? I am looking to get away from the facilitating side in my current job, and get more in touch with my creative side. Introvert slug here too :p
@@user-uv1ov1me4b I think it‘s pretty much the same. But - as the title says - is it more focussed on workshops, advising, presenting. And ofc designing/scribbling.
I really REALLY appreciate the honesty, every fucking video i seem to find is just clean desks, fairy lights, macbooks and coffee
I did a career switch a few years ago into UX design and I SERIOUSLY wish people had told me these things too 😂😂😂 the meeting fatigue and debate ones resonated so deeply hahahha
lol happy to hear that someone besides myself was shocked by the meeting situation! Thanks for watching :)
What about ui design. Im invtrover also a lawyer. I wanna learn ui and front end. Should ui designers interact with people more often compared to ux designers? Freelancer
thank you for sharing what did you transition too ?
@@neel6978 UI does the work.... UX does the bullshiting
UI you literally do ALL THE WORK.... UX just talks and talks
the more the UX is involved... the more work UI has to do , cut out the middle man DO BOTH JOBS
@ I love u😁😁👌 thx
Your points about criticism and meetings struck a cord with me as a Graphic Designer. I hated those parts of the job so much when I first started, ESPECIALLY the criticism that I almost quit the profession all together before I realized I was being hellla dramatic lol
"Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss is a great book on how to negotiate. It's not exactly a book about "debate" per say but the author is a former hostage negotiator who shares business advice for influencing others when there's high stakes.
Good perspectives, I like this video. I have been in Digital Design/UX/Product for 20 years. My advice to Junior/Mid Weights is, you have to be your own agent. This may sound crazy but this isn't an industry for people who aren't able to negotiate situations. For instance salary is important, however, job security is, too. Many Silicon Valley companies do zero contracts or ''trial periods'' - I always make sure I negotiate at least 1 month - currently 3 months. That means that if they pivot and from being a generalist they now require you to be say a PHD style Researcher, you can revert back to the start and say, I wasn't hired to be that, and if the bi-product is ''we need that'' then they have to pay you off a large notice period. It can be beautiful if it doesn't involve non competes and you say go from Finance to Retail and have this 3 month pay off and start a role within a month or so. It isn't easy to explain, but always be good at negotiating your terms, because this industry can be turbulent bordering on volatile. Good luck to all the viewers.
Glad to hear an introvert can still be successful in UX. As an introvert myself, I am concerned about making the switch to a career full of meetings, advocacy and debating.
I'm a high functioning introvert too and, I don't like having to constantly justify myself or attend excessive meetings. I might have to look into another career path choice. Thank you so much for the honest feedback.
suck it up. u grow through uncomfortable situations.
@@jahspazz6010 stfu. people have options in how they navigate life. "suck it up" is a very empathetically negligent response.
I don’t really care for the term “high-functioning introvert”. It implies being an introvert is like a disease, like “high-functioning alcoholic”. I feel like being an introvert is a superpower if one can harness it.
@@victoriaryan23 people mix up being an introvert and having social anxiety all the time. That seems to be the case here
Thank you for sharing this! I am in my first UX job and these things would have been great to prepare for!
I'm so glad I came across your video! I'm currently switching career paths (also coming from customer service) and these are the things I want to hear about! I'm currently on a job hunt and so appreciate your perspective!
I like the honesty and experience you share. The best strategy to persuade people is strong evidence and data. Being a teacher, communicating with students about their grade based on the criteria is a good way for me to practice.
This video is so great, thank you! I want to switch my career, and the points you have brought up are definitely something I am going to look into beforehand!
Great video, Mimi.
UX Seems to be becoming a "launching" pad career for many designers. I know quite a few who started out in UX and ended up transitioning to Product, UX Writing, Research, etc.. UX is really an "all encompassing job description that seems to be becoming more and more fragmented as time goes on (When I started UX an dUI Designers did the same thing).
My best advice: learn everything when you are young: How to conduct research, wire framing, UX exercises, User testing, and UI/Design theory. another big thing people should research is accessibility standards, since they are becoming a staple in Design in general.
Thanks for watching! Great advice, learning the design process and various artifacts are key!
💯
I actually really like debating in general and wanna be a user designer but I did not know about meeting culture, thanks for letting me know to look out for that!
Thank you for sharing honestly! With regard to the debate/criticism part, maybe it’s because the team you’re working with was not really doing the best practices of critique. Critique is not about judging any designer’s skills or expertise, it’s about analyzing the design decisions we made and compare them against our project goals and principles, so please don’t take it personal and a very insightful book 📖 I’d love to recommend (if I may) is “Discussing Design: Improving Communication and Collaboration through Critique” By Adam & Aaron, they also talked bout how to nurture a good critique culture in organizations and team.
thank you for making the exact video i was searching for and needed to watch. i absolutely HATE meetings, debating, fighting for what (to me) is so obviously the right decision, etc. but ugh.. i do love design, the income, and the freedom that comes along with working at home ughhhhhhhh
This is so true. Go many great ideas have been killed internally before it eve saw the light of day. I get so exhausted fighting every single day to make something great .
Thank you for making this! I've been working in UX design for ~5 years now, and I still struggle with some of these aspects of UX. I find that company culture can make a huge difference in how frustrating or rewarding our day-to-day UX roles are. I've definitely been in an environment in which "design critique" consisted of people just slinging opinions fast and loose, with many people taking out their unrelated aggression during feedback sessions.
So so helpful!! Considering to re train in this field and change career and I hate the things you have discussed
Keep up the good fight! That's the rally cry of my UX team 😀 ... It's good to vent every once in a while. Having to debate always sucks, no matter how long youve been a designer for. What works for me is before a crit, I will meet with those who love to debate , collect their feedback, if its good feedback, I'll iterate on the design. Then when its time for the "official" presentation, it usually goes over smoothly.
This video was very insightful, thanks for sharing these tips and experiences. I'm currently in customer service and have started to research what a career in UI/UX would be like. Will definitely check out more of your videos
I'm studying ux for 6 months now and I'm two months away from finishing the course and is really nice to see the perspective of people on the market, my boyfriend is the one who got me into ux design and he told me about some of theese facts lol, but i still really like ux design and i've never been so interested in something like i am on this, loved your videos and tha way you inform, subscribed!
I’m not completely set on UX design, but this video has pushed me CLOSER to it, believe it or not. I deal with imposter syndrome all the time, and I’ve been constantly learning each year since I graduated high school ten years ago. I LOVE having to debate with others and really push my ideas (or in the case, argue for the user) and I’m fairly adept at talking through things. I’m micromanaged at my current job and a lot of meetings is whatever to me, at least I’ll be doing something I’d like to do.
Thank you for sharing.
Kindly add captions and make your platform accessible. Disabled folks exist. I am pretty sure you made good points which is why I am informing you to do so.
The meeting thing was a great wake-up call. I’m not a big fan of a lot of meetings. I’m used to criticism. My proofs have to to seen by at least 5 people. Sometimes their is conflicting feedback. I did appreciate he advice about being able to justify decisions and push back from a position of strength. Thank you for sharing.
Girl, thank you for this video! I loved it because it is simple and easy to understand, but I also loved it because I relate so much to you. When you say, for example, that you hate confrontation and you are an introvert person. I am like that and I’m researching content to make sure I want to go into UX and or UI Design.
This is very applicable to other industries and makes me feel more comfortable with the pathways I want to consider.
Thank you for all the good tips you are giving in this video, I already knew that this could happen but I love the tip of being prepared with a good argument by showing evidence and validation from user testing. 💙👍
Thank you for the video! It's so funny that bad things for somebody can be good things for another person. For example, I love to debate, and knowing that I'll be able to use these skills just makes me want more and more to pursue my new career at UX.
Girlllllll I like you! You have explained everything so nicely. I can relate so much and thank you for making me aware of it.
Thank you so much Mimi for the honest sharing of your experience, it's so important to know. For the introvert part - meeting and confrontation, I can just relate so much. Thanks a lot for this!
Happy to hear I'm not the only one :) thanks always for watching Shirley!
I went to college for illustration in my Early 20's but went into finance in my early 30's as a Stockbroker on Wall Street. I always loved creating art and and creating on the computer now I'm looking to get into UI/UX design at 44 Hopefully. I think I would be able to deal with the stressful situations you spoke of. Due to my situations in the past dealing with Art Directors at various publications.
I liked the fact that you are never afraid to switch careers. ❤️
@@msrita Thank you. I am actually learning Blender because I want to work in 3D art and be involved with NFT's and the Metaverse. I always wanted to be a Visual Artist. My family is from a long-line of Visual Artist. The struggle has always been balancing a Professional life while tryjing to find lucrative opportunities in the Art. Cheers.😊❤
@@easytiger3302 hello! It's great to hear about people in their 40s changing carrer. I'm 41, architect, and white disappointed by the profession. How is it going? Are you still making the transition? Is it challenging?
@@Anto_81Hi, yes the transition is very Challenging had to take two bridge jobs while building up my 3D portfolio so I'm not successful as of yet but determined. Hopefully I will be working at a digital company before 2025.
Woah you sound awesome. What a cool career journey. I also graduated in illustration! Then I became a graphic designer then a product designer :)
To the point!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👍👍👍👍 thank you so much for this video, I am planning to start my UI/UX career! 👍👍
With digital product design, I have a big problem with the idea that you absolutely always need to have a "logical argument" to justify a design decision. We aren't always logical with real things that are beautiful and a joy to use. Why do we have to be when it comes to digital stuff?
Love this! When I worked with brand strategist, we tested designs all the time with users based on pure emotions and their behaviors. It doesn't always have to be so rigid, however, in my experience, I've found it easier to get stakeholders on board with logic, data, and research informed decisions.
It’s because the coding has such an insane cost. You can always do patches if something doesn’t end up working properly but it comes at a price for the company.
Wow! I've never actually known that UX Design is a FULL CAREER! I have done graphic design for at least a decade now and you just BLEW my mind with explaining and also with the tips/facts that help a ton, I'm sure. I happened to be looking up college classes right now as I've taken so many over time to always upgrade my knowledge and to keep in the know of the overall design and multimedia world, but this is a whole new fact for me. I happened to see a UX Design class available and wanted to know about it. Thank you so much for this! I'll be paying attention more as I have my own small business, and this sounds really interesting to learn more about.
:D thanks for sharing, im looking forward to reading the book
I love and appreciate your honesty! This information helps so much to prepare myself for the UX field and really hone in on the important skills needed (debate/data/meetings). This video was a breath of fresh air from all the rose-colored UX design videos that don't show all the difficult/ugly sides of UX. Subscribed!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
Mimi I am excited to join this career path. I appreciate your video.
Hi! Amazing, I'm excited for your journey into UX. Thanks for watching!
Finding this a year from the date you posted it and wow thank you for sharing these great points! I have been wondering if I've been seeing UX career through rose colored glasses so I appreciate the realness :)
Most of these things are actually things that I really enjoy in other careers.... debating why I did something, meetings (totally agree about meeting culture questions though), getting constructive criticism and doing it all so I can gain more skills. Thanks for this!
Yesss super helpful! Thanks for sharing your experiences 😱
You rock! I just started following you. And I just ordered 'Articulating Design Decisions'. I've been in UX for 8 years now. Debating and educating is key! I loved your advice of bringing data (proof) to the table when making your case for UX. So smart! They can't argue with facts :)
Thanks for the support! You're going to love the book, one of my all-time favorites to help us designers get through those buy-in discussions.
Thanks for putting this video together for us x
Great video, and very helpful. Thanks for sharing
Hi Mimi thank you for sharing. I am transitioning into UX Design. UX is a growing field and businesses are rushing to meet the users demand. Sometimes this causes a lot of anxiety for stakeholders. Similar to when IT become a high demand field and businesses rushed to hire specialists and everyone did not know the complete ins and outs of the process but wanted to see the desired results. So I think that you have an awesome point, to make sure that you provide evidence for your design ideas so stakeholders can quickly make the connection.
Thanks for watching :)
Great video! I saw you have a video on soft skills that make a good UX designer, but could you also touch on the type of people who wouldn't thrive in this career setting. I am afraid of switching and realizing I am not a good fit!
Super helpful video! Thank you for that!
You are my best friend now in UX 😂 wanting to know the good, bad, ugly, u gave it really well.. I didnt start learning yet but i am doubting myself already but i m trying to go for it.. Thanks a lot
PREACH! I can relate to every single point and your delivery had me laughing the whole time haha.
Thanks you for sharing this, i think every job still had a downside part that's we need to accept. I dont hate my job either but i hate the ppl around that's job, you need to follow the rule of the company and the boss or your leader. But even though I think it's a part of the process you not only learning new skill such as like UX/UI Design but also can be another thing like: debate, deal with confrontation, conflict about mindset, different pov, and i have been warning it's might be really terrify for introvert but anw it's still promising to switch my career. :D
Mimi...THANK YOU for putting this video together. I'm happy that although you kept it 100, that I'm still looking forward to making this career switch. 🙂 I look forward to watching more of your videos!
You are so welcome!
Oh wow. I really didn't expect the debate part. It's eye-opening.
Creative block is also an issue in this field. I am personally a little scared of this aspect. How do you personally deal with it, and how often do you experience creative/design block
These actually make me very excited
I agree with you on this. Honestly, this applies for any career. 👍
I love your channel! Thanks for being so real, I cant wait for future videos :D
Hi Minyi, of course. Thanks so much for watching!
Just an excellent video Mimi. I would like an update on your UX world going into 2023 for us fellow introverted slugs... I adapted years ago while I was a graphic designer in strategic communications. Where UX was the only way forward, yet I had a management structure that asked me for this, sending me to comment on UX benefits and successes. Yet fought UX when it came to management redesign, their own tasking nothing with myself mind you. They struggled every step of the way and in many ways are still grappling with UX. That's something I believe UX designers should be aware of just to prepare. So I became healthy being in the middle over time. I did this with good basic logic skills, research, and UX lectures. A UX designer and a new UX designer must realize you are the means in the middle, not a problem but a solution and a very gifted one. I was in a very known but tough legislated industry politically, engineering-wise, and safety-wise but isolated. My successes built slowly and I managed numerous successes in the early days of UX. I also wanted to move onward, as one gets bored, as one also becomes quite knowledgeable which is a positive benefit you will benefit from in years to come. As UX designers we soon develop a great rapport, dynamic experiences, and references to major complexities and unique problems whereby clients hugely benefit from your knowledge and experience, Keep going. I am also a highly introverted fellow slug, as well. Thanks for the video.
I enjoyed listening to your opinions. Probably it's because I come from the Graphic Design field, but my feeling is that criticism related to UX and/or UI is easier to handle, and actually very useful because it can help you detect paths that you didn't consider before. I think most of the time, as long as your decisions are justified, your work will be accepted, of course in my experience. In comparison, when you work creating visual identity systems or other design work, sometimes there are no rational factors involved in the decision-making process of the clients or the stakeholders, and that is really difficult to handle.
I completely agree, I love UX for that reason lol. Signed, former graphic designer
Also a graphic designer who became a product designer :) the biggest headache is when someone who does not know how to create workflows tries to impose their idea of a workflow on you. Like “we don’t need to require a users middle name or their country” but I have to tell them we need that information because if we are asking for a credit card that information is required etc.
Wow. Thanks for being honest. Still going for it !
Sure thing, thanks for watching! and good for you, excited for your new journey :)
Thanks a lot for this video.
Mimi, thank you for this video. I've been a UX designer for a few years now and this really resonated with me. I feel like every day I'm preparing for a debate and trying to figure out how to get wins for our users. Never knew there was going to be SO many meetings and disagreements lol. I just have to remind myself to not get personally offended when a design doesn't get approved. But that's when the imposter syndrome kicks in 😆
Hi Annika! Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Isn't it funny that we all go through some kind of cycle whenever we have to defend our users? I totally feel you on the imposter syndrome too!
Thank u for sharing! Ive been thinking of a career change into something with a remote option and just discovered the ux/ui field. Ive been reading up and watching vids like this before I commit. This is exactly the type of info I want 2 know. I appreciate u. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing!
thanks for the tips! i am in mid of changing my career to ux from a completely different field, so your video really helps me see the reality of the job. Hope i can survive haha
I'm so glad! Excited for your journey into UX!
Thank you Mimi, very useful ;)
Thanks for sharing 😊
I love it! thanks for sharing
I'll be coming back to this for research purposes later. Meetings, debates, and negative criticism will be difficult for me but learning to adapt will be fun.
Wow! Great information! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Very good video!
I agree with all of them but mostly the fifth part. The debate. Omg how infuriating it can be. However I have realized more and more that it can be less infuriating by learning how to handle the debate situation better. Your tips at the end sounds great and I think it will help to deal with the debates easier. Thank you for sharing :)
So true, once you find tools to debate better, it definitely gets easier. Thanks for watching!
thank you for making this video! i don't really hear much about these topics and now I feel a little more prepared for what's coming. i didn't know I would be soldier and an advocate lol but I think I have some skills in these already so I'm not too surprised.
My "debate" history:
In the beginning, especially with young businesses (up to 3-4 years) I was willing to debate, or because why not, maybe I was wrong or because many doesn't know the topic and there's nothing wrong in it, you just explain.
But then, when I started to notice the first Product Managers who think to be also UX Designers or Developers or both I started to slowly give up on that. I can also clearly see my trajectory when I started to include also evidences from other well known researches included NNgroup and stakeholders still ignoring them to the point that now when I see that there's no interest in understanding, I simply let it go while I look for another business.
Too often a UX Designer is hired to be a "worker" and to comply with things that break every usability principle which downgrade design ethics, your ethic and your professionality. Who actually wanna be a UX Designer and design to break usability and/or deceive users with dark patterns.
I am at the point of considering doing a course in UX design, my background is customer Insight so I'm used to doing things like empathy mapping, surveys, A/B testing etc. The research element of UX sounds really appealing but I'm not sure I want to be designing user flows , wire frames etc I like the idea of learning it but I'm more committed to research
Just like you said, I tend to only see the positive side of UX design career from youtubers but I was really curious to also know what was the bad stuff. I still want to make a career change and be a UX designer, but knowing the good and the bad will help me be very prepared. Specially the debate stuff! I feel like I'm a very stubborn person when defending my designs, but at the same time easy to get intimidated. im kind of like a chihuahua, i guess 😅🤣Thanks for the helpful insight !!
This is very Helpful
Thank you for making this video. I am planning to shift my career as UX Designer and this is really helpful. 🤗
Your video made me buy the pillow cube because the ad was so cool
So I’m looking to have a split between a very social and work from home type career. I’m new to this whole process and am trying understand how much is in person thank you for being frank about the meeting level. Could you do a vlog with some of your debates or show some clips!
Thank you !
Thanks so much. I'm in bootcamp now. The criticism can be intense, but I know it will be worth it in the end.
Great video! Thank you! I was curious on your take: do you think a UI Designer role is more suited for an introvert and might involve less meeting overload? Thanks again for the fantastic information you provide.
my bf who is in the IT industry suggested that this may be my next move in a career so hearing your perspective is very helpful and gives me some food for thought. i know this isn’t a walk in the park and didn’t even think about what was brought up. i’m curious to see what changing into this field may bring for me. thank you for your insight!
What does your bf do in IT I am considering IT as well
Thank you thank you!
Thank you for this video! I'm currently working on breaking into Tech / UX /UI Design and I needed to see this.
Hi! Not design related but two book suggestions for you in addition to the excellent Never Split the Difference: Difficult Conversations (the whole series in fact is fantastic) and Sizing People Up by Robin Dreeke.
Thanks for sharing!
I work as a digital artist + Email Designer (self-taught) for different agencies. I just bought a course on UX and you scared me off a bit. Not because these things you said are awful to deal with in general, but simply because they are a bit of a deal-breaker for me and I was doubting if I wanna do UX. I decided to try it out because one way or another it seems that nowadays designers need to know ALL things and be rock stars. Anyway, I will head out to watch your video about 5 good things about UX and hopefully continue with the course. Thank you for your time!
What did you end up doing?
As a digital artist what job roles did you have to fulfill?
This is spot on!
Thank you for sharing some real honest info on what it's like being a UX designer. This coming from a social media/web design and sales background looking for the best alignment.
Glad it was helpful!
Omg you’re so sweet, beautiful and your voice sounds so good 😭💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Loveee, thank you!
I agree with all this wholeheartedly. This video was a breathe of fresh air.
Thanks for watching!
5:49 "a high-functioning introvert slug"
I feel called out 🐌-🐚
These things apply to all kinds of design professions. About debating, it is skill that can be learned in a design school, because it is not always about being an introvert or extravert, it is about how you built the logic of your product and design decisions.
Hi Mimi, I've recently did a career switch to UX design as well. I will be graduating from college soon and would love to hear more of your insights about *false* job descriptions so I can be more aware when applying and/or just any questions that I should ask during interview. I really like like your videos, it felt very real and honest 🥰
I gotchu! I have this down on my list for future videos, thanks so much for the support and vid suggestion. Excited for you and your next journey post-college
I also switched from customer service to ux, and can definitely relate to your points...
Very insightful! Subbed!
Hey Zak! Thanks for the support
That is def what I feel. I have strong ability for visualizing UI concepts but there are always loud and eloquent nosy ppl at team always have a bunch of opinions. They always say “you should think about visual hierarchy” or “You should think about user” or “minimalism is the way to go” something really obvious and what they design is a shit. Literally shit with no visual hierarchy or minimalism. Lately I feel like I should learn how to debate and stand up for myself since Im from Asian country and we dont have that kinda culture. We value humble not bluffing ..
Another great video, Mimi! Been in design for years now and I'm still flirting with UX - Its one of the last things I haven't touched.
YESS I LOVE DEBATE 😭❤️❤️❤️ I'M IN THE RIGHT LINE
This is very informative and eye-opening! One small problem. You can turn off your fans or AC next time for people with headphones.
Apologies to your drums. This is the biggest struggle for me in the summer. I'd be one sweaty slug if I turned off the A/C while filming. I appreciate your feedback.
You've gotta fight a bit in this industry. Good to know. As for resources for getting better at being assertive, there's a channel called therapy in a nutshell. And there's also just making sure your energy is already somewhat correct as a baseline. I used to be a guy who was either too timid or overly aggressive (think bottle up and explode). I'm not usually physically intimidated (even though I probably should be in certain instances). My fear is about looking dramatic or worse - getting fired. Meditation helps. So does a certain peptide I've been using. Thanks again for your insight
