Understanding how to meet people where they are requires a willingness to pause and listen deeply. Register and learn more ➡ https://lnkd.in/dU4EQEeH #Blink #UX #UI #Research #Strategy #Listening

New research alert! ⚡ Researchers and anyone advocating for customer research in their organizations, my latest report “Build Effective Research Partnerships To Ensure Impact” is for you! Researchers need strong partnerships with stakeholders to ensure that research objectives align with business goals, grow research’s recognition in the organization, and make research an irrevocable part of the decision-making process. @Eleanor Theriault and I interviewed research leaders from various industries to find the best ways to build strong partnerships with stakeholders. The report is available to Forrester clients. Check out my blog for a preview of the report. https://lnkd.in/eGRCtPtm This research wouldn’t be possible without the research and product leaders who generously shared their insights with us—thank you to all! #CX #UX #CustomerResearch #UserExperienceResearch #UxResearch

This partnership has been nothing short of a blessing. Thanks to the team at Blink UX for diligently working with us to fulfill an important part of our mission.
We're excited to announce our partnership with Soul Science Lab (SSL)! In the US, 3.6 million K-12 youth from underserved communities don’t have access to music education, which deprives them of socio-emotional growth, improved literacy, and problem-solving skills. SSL’s Make a Joyful Noize Curriculum aims to meet students where they are and combat inequity in music education. Stay tuned for more about our work together. #Blink #UX #UI #music #education #edtech

In this article, Blink UX Researcher, Brandon Sapp, shares practical tips for fostering a positive research environment with rapport, mindfulness, and fun! ➡ https://lnkd.in/ev9un9vM #Blink #UX #UI #research Mphasis

At Blink, staying inspired and refreshed to continue growing and delivering our best work is foundational. Scott Lambridis, Chief Design Officer, shared design team highlights from #Config2024: As a distributed team, Config was a wonderful opportunity to sharpen the saw together. Many of us meeting each other for the first time, and basking in a mix of product feature rollouts and existential design inspiration. During our design team meeting last week, Config attendees shared their favorite moments, sparking conversation around: ▪ Design's impact on business; helping organizations become more design-led ▪ Keeping it human ▪ Adding personal fingerprints ▪ The importance of fidgetability in software ▪ Workflow improvements that simplify the basics to enable us to focus on the hard, juicy problems we love most #Design #Research #Blink #UX #UI Figma

Here are 5 brilliant UX projects to bookmark for inspiration ✍️ Every now and then on the wild internet, I come across exciting UX projects that make me pause, read & take notes on what they did right. So sharing some of the coolest work I’ve come across! ✨ 🚀 Sephora’s store makeover by IDEO https://lnkd.in/dmtyft9j This one has great ethnographic insights on retail & beauty. IDEO discovered that people consider makeup purchases playful and fun, and skincare private and vulnerable. So they designed swanky new in-store experiences with different spaces—public spaces for exploration & more private ones for skincare consultations. ⭐ Project Credits: Tony Wong, Weiyi L., Eileen Wu, Sam McMorran 🚀 Snapchat's AR interface by Clay – UI/UX Design Agency https://lnkd.in/d45kdVg4 Did you know that Snapchat has an AR try-on shopping lens? Clay partnered with Snapchat to design the interfaces for these. It’s the future of retail—you can see what a watch would look like on your wrist, adjust the size and customize the colors before clicking buy! 🚀 NASA’s digital overhaul by Blink UX https://lnkd.in/dWZa2EQA Blink took on the cosmic challenge of reimagining NASA’s digital presence, which involved integrating over 3000 major websites to create a new, unified web experience. After interviewing 202 NASA stakeholders & 268 quantitative user research sessions over 2 years, a gorgeous new NASA.gov was born—more intuitive, accessible and effective for telling science’s most important stories. ⭐ Project Credits: Quba Michalski Karen Clark Cole Benjamin Shown Lauren Martin Peter Stern Bill Flora 🚀 OXa App redesign by UX studio https://lnkd.in/dYHevFCj OXa is a ‘breathing coach’—it tracks your breathing & ECG to provide personalized breathing exercises & reduce stress. UXStudio was tasked with redesigning the Oxa app displaying this complex medical data in easy-to-digest, gamified visuals. The team designed a digital mirror for the “the essence of breathing”, and an interface that simplifies all the data brilliantly. ⭐ Project Credits: Anna Schreit, Janka Holicska, András Frank, Bence Mózer 🚀 IVR Automation by Koru UX Design https://lnkd.in/ddGfW8_P Koru’s work for a leading IVR provider was about creating a more intuitive and efficient interface, to make the lives of hospital admins easier. Hospital interactive voice response (IVR) systems are usually vv complex. Critical care was often delayed because users couldn’t figure out the navigation system. Koru’s team did extensive research to discover their pain points. The end result? A UI that guides users to take the right action intuitively & helps patients get care faster! ⭐ Project Credit: Bansi Mehta, Pawan Singh Bhadoria, Ameya Kapre Got a UX design project that deserves a shoutout? Drop in the comments, or DM—I’ll share it in our next #inspo list!
