I have been ‘raised’ with no wireframing (agency) - It doesn’t emphasise with people’s imagination - Doesn’t work with content - Clients don’t understand it - Easy to use existing components. - You have to design twice. However, with AI building and work in product teams, wireframing is back.

Usually not a massive fan of a brand positioning and messaging, if the product is not of value or not solving problems. However, with AI models, it's the other way around. ✋ Everyone is shouting about it, but does anyone actually know the difference between 3.5 Sonnet & GPT4o? ⚜️ Reposition it

Craft should and will always be core to any designers pallet. It comes when you focus on quality. And quality disappears, when your focus is to produce fast instead of produce well. Karri Saarinen sums it up wellL 'Tech makes it easier to build, but harder to care' www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCil...

→ Don’t forget. 90% of organizations are relying on spreadsheets and similar tools for vital business data. → And those spreadsheets are: Hard to reuse Hard to share Hard to scale Hard to integrate. → So, even if your product & UX iterations are small, it’s probably helping business massively.

Today's recap for prioritising product improvements 🔂 1. When doing prioritisation in product, ask why it is a priority and where is the evidence coming from. 2. Don't assume that evidence is right, just 'I heared this before' 3. It should be around business goals, ARR, new wins, quantity, quotes.

My product architecture process: 1️⃣ Define what the feature is 2️⃣ Dig into why clients need it 3️⃣ Fit it into current UX 4️⃣ Sketch screens & proposals 5️⃣ Team review 6️⃣ Back to step 1 with new data 🔁 Repeat the above. Not that straightforward and you will probably end up mixing up steps.
