Useful Frequently Asked Questions

In this area I will provide answer to some common questions on the internet. All the answers are verified and experienced personally.

What is the most important information you learned about UX / UI design?

DO NOT put yourself on user’s shoes ever. You’re an UX designer , your thinking and perceptive can’t be same as the end user ever. Reach and get feedback from real user. Do not use your perspective as user, cause you’re not the user.
