Have you ever looked up ‘find UX jobs’ in Google image search? Well, surprisingly you can get images like this:

Unless you’re living under the rock or haven’t watched the news / social media in the last couple of weeks, then possibly you’ve heard about the new app craze called Clubhouse. This -currently- invitation-only beta app is built around the phenomenon of podcasts, but instead of inviting only one or a few guests on the stage, the various rooms within the app can “host” anybody to talk about a specific topic to share knowledge.

The clubs and rooms are originally organized around with heavy focus on the tech scene, funding, VC intros and entrepreneurship, but as the time passed new…

A couple of weeks ago I’ve published an article about UX salaries in Europe, and it was only a matter of time to finish my research to do the same, focusing on the US landscape this time.

After the first article I got bombarded with excitement and both disappointment, and I completely understand often the job market and the pandemic is not in everyone’s favor. I also made some mistakes which were all (mostly! 🤞) fixed to present the data, so dear reader you get a more refined piece thanks to all 10K+ eyes on the previous one.

Oh talking about data…

Methodology

Yes the elephant in…

The pandemic has certainly changed our busy life and also the way we spend our free time. Some are seen picking up stitching again after years, others are surfing in the living room for real and I’m sure some returned to their favorite books, like I did. As someone who is regularly designing products I’ve found myself often crawl back to the same books from the collection I’ve hoarded over the years, so I’ve decided to create my very own selection for the good and share what I like about them.

I hope dear reader whether you’re a developer, designer…

Who is ready for bubbly 3D, vibrant colors, glassmorphism and great tools?

It’s been a while since I’ve published the last article about UI design trends, but as soon as I’ve started writing I got all this funky feeling again in a good way. What if i miss a trend from the list (yeah it’s hard to choose)? What do others like these days? As you will see this trends are hardly living on their own often combined with other trends as well. …

TL;DR
I went through over 400 UX/UI/Product designer LinkedIn profiles from top brands (Apple, Google, etc.) to find out some common portfolios mistakes and created a set of tips about how to solve them. If you’re only interested in comparing your portfolio with the designer portfolios used as a reference, then head over to the bottom of the article.

Another day we joked around with a friend of mine searching our names on Google laughing at some funny old stories and pictures from the interwebz (do you remember MySpace, Hi5 and others?) but the joyful moment quickly became…
