A Guide for UX Designers

UX Designer Guide is practical UX and Product Designer insights for how to work, deliver and navigate the everyday world of design in four areas:

• Process

• Strategy

• Delivery

• Principles

Product design is a collaborative journey that starts with Process - using systematic approaches and holistic thinking to solve core problems. Strategy focuses on turning unknowns into insights through research and deep listening, while maintaining clear communication across teams. Delivery involves understanding the product landscape and using constraints as helpful boundaries, with an emphasis on shipping features that create the most impact. Finally, Principles guide designers to put users first, embrace agile methods, learn from mistakes, and keep solutions simple.

Collaboration is CoDesign

We are entering an Age of AI and the meaning of digital literacy has changed. CoDesign AI is a collective field guide on the practical realities of collaborating with AI and each other in building products, services and user experiences together including:

• Principles

• Concepts

• Mental Models

Working with AI like a partner that makes us better. We can think of AI like working in tandem with a partner that can help spot things we might miss and makes our work stronger. The key is keeping humans involved in important decisions while letting AI handle routine tasks. AI complements human creativity and judgment. Good AI products adapt as they learn from users and focus on making information useful. They're built to handle mistakes gracefully rather than aiming for perfection. AI users need to understand how AI how functions and how to best partner.

A place to begin with AI

The meaning of digital literacy has changed. We each need to connect key AI concepts to everyday uses and current practices. AI Demystifying is a place to begin sorting the hype, concepts and framing of AI including:

• What is AI?

• How does AI work?

• How to approach AI?

• What does AI mean?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a spectrum of technologies that process and learn from data to generate human-like responses. From basic rule-based systems to advanced generative AI, these tools use pattern recognition and neural networks to handle tasks like content creation and analysis. AI works by compressing massive datasets into usable patterns. AI can help with brainstorming, refinement, and cognitive assistance but requires clear human direction to be effective. Success with AI comes from integrating it into existing workflows while maintaining human oversight for complex decisions. This balance ensures AI amplifies human expertise while managing potential risks and limitations.
