What is UX?

User Experience (UX) is a multidimensional concept that encompasses how individuals feel and interact with a product or service. It takes into account various factors, such as emotional states, behavioral patterns, cultural aspects, social influences, and personal motivators.

In simpler terms, UX is the process of planning and developing products and services that cater to people's needs and preferences with precision and empathy.

By prioritizing the user experience, businesses can foster deeper connections with their customers and drive long-term success.

A UX designer's mission is to ensure that users can achieve their desired goals smoothly and naturally while enjoying a positive experience. This involves considering the emotions and thoughts that users experience during their interactions.

UX research delves into the context and perception of users, with the goal of applying these insights to enhance the product or service.

UX Standards

Simplifying the complex world

Standardization is an effort to introduce consistency in design work and result. Creating standards in User Experience is especially a tedious and generally obscure work. Most common use-cases for standards are Design Systems and Templates. Design Systems are present in many industries and vary on scales.

Building blocks for consistent design

Standardization in UX is like creating a language with a set of letters, using Lego bricks to construct various structures, or following standard paper sizes for different formats. It's all about establishing a consistent and recognizable foundation for design work.

Shortly, UX standardization streamlines development with clear guidelines for consistent interfaces.

In UX, standardization can be challenging but is essential for creating coherent and accessible experiences. By using common elements, like letters in a language, we can build a design that's easy to understand and use for everyone.

Think of standardization as a box containing reusable building blocks that enable teams to craft engaging and user-friendly designs. These building blocks, like Lego bricks, ensure a consistent and organized foundation for interfaces.

In the accompanying video, our founder discusses the standardization of User Experience in a talk about Reusable Design at Creative Mornings Berlin. He highlights the importance of standardized, reusable elements in design and demonstrates their application through a series of creative projects.
