The UX Booth
by Adam Fard
2y ago
Heuristic evaluation (HE) is one of those design activities that has rightfully claimed its place on the UX Olympus. Any time there’s a need to evaluate a piece of design – that’s one of the go-to’s. It also doesn’t hurt that there’s no shortage of content on HE online. Almost 51 million Google results is no joke. The overwhelming majority of the articles are “How to’s” and “What is’s”. I couldn’t find a single piece of content that extensively goes over the potential mistakes one can make.  Secondly, the only HE cons I’ve managed to dig up online have to do with the activities’ inherent ..read more

The UX Booth
by Rachel Miles

It’s a relationship world out there. We all know it, yet we treat our relationship with customers – or potential customers – as transactional in user research. As a researcher myself, I know that I need to get research projects done as soon as possible. There are so many phases of conducting a research study that recruiting and managing relationships seems too much. As user research has scaled in organizations, the need for research operations —abbreviated as ResearchOps — became apparent. ResearchOps, as a discipline, emerged fairly recently to support researchers by establishing consistent ..read more

It Starts with a Conversation: A Guide to Interviewing UX Candidates
The UX Booth
by Andrew Schall
2y ago
I believe that if asked, most people would say that they are good at conducting interviews. However, even the most experienced interviewers can get caught up in bad habits. We rarely take the time to assess our own interviewing skills or have others provide feedback on our technique. There is no shortage of articles about how to ace an interview as a UX job candidate, but there has been little focus on how to be an effective interviewer. Assessing UX candidates can be particularly tricky because they can have highly diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets. In this article, I will use s ..read more

With a recent jump in the number of employees working remotely, many companies are improving their digital communication and collaboration tools. Intranet is among the top tools companies modernize. However, many companies approach their intranet redesign with little or no understanding of UX, which leads to poor usage and adoption. This summer, ORIGAMI surveyed over 200 companies in North America and Europe to understand their intranet usage. We found that only 1 in 5 intranets are used by about 90% of all employees daily; most intranets are used by less than 40%. Any license and service cost ..read more

Interacting with apps and websites can sometimes be frustrating. Have you ever encountered a link, button, or image that just won’t respond the way you want it to, no matter how many times you click or tap? If so, you’ll understand the concept of rage clicking. Rage clicks happen when users repeatedly click or tap in irritation on a particular element or area in a concentrated space of time. As users, we expect digital interfaces to respond to our actions in certain ways. When they don’t meet our expectations, we naturally feel annoyed. Rage clicking, and other forms of computer rage, are a p ..read more

by Brian Hanley
2y ago
8 years after Brad Frost discovered atomic design, we at R/GA still leverage it on countless projects. But how did it all start? Where did atomic design come from? How did it find Brad Frost? There was something sticky about high school chemistry. No matter where else he turned for inspiration, something kept bringing Brad Frost back to that class with the periodic table. Snow-covered R/GA New York’s courtyard in a thin white blanket. Inside, a warm, dark space welcomed a slew of coffee-slugging web developers. Nikes dripped as the ice melted. Whiteboards abounded.

by Jon Fukuda
2y ago
The insurance industry is in the midst of a profound digital transformation. Innovative new companies such as Root and Lemonade have disrupted the way customers interact with insurers, offering sleek digital interfaces and promises of five-minute policy quotes. Long-established companies such as State Farm, GEICO, Nationwide, or Travelers must adapt in a landscape in which customers are increasingly conducting their transactions online.
