Be Curious With Us

Designers must move quickly to find and fix common UI problems, to keep up with the pace of development on today's app and SaaS projects. UI Tenets+Traps cards are the best way to identify, characterize, and prioritize common, detectable problems that degrade good UI design.
This workshop teaches designers (and others who work closely with the UI, such as content creators, quality assurance engineers, product owners, and front-end developers), how to use the UI Traps cards, and to quickly identify what needs to addressed. The workshop also helps designers operationalize the attributes of good UI design behind the cards, also known as Tenets. As the creators of the cards say, each deck is "100 years of UI research in the palm of your hand".
