    Wow, this is so strange. Could you add such function? I’m sure latest iPad’s or iPhone pro max’s hardware can well handle your product, as it does with even quite solid video editors and artistic editors.
    It really is weird given some iPads were even made for the designers to work with. Also there’s such factor as women with little kids, who are nevertheless carrying on their graphics jobs mostly from their mobile devices and have very rare chances to sit down to their computers for a couple of years sometimes.

    Hello Everyone:)

    I am a former teacher who has just made the switch to UI design. For the past few weeks, I have been learning any and everything about UI Design and Figma.

    I am excited to be a part of this community.

    Hello, there!

    I’m Tatiana and I’ve been working as a designer for as long as I can remember! 😅

    I’ve switched to Figma recently (from Sketch), but I appreciated how easy it is to learn! It’s nice to be part of this community because it’s active and it seems many things can be found here when needed, thanks to all of you beautiful people! 🥰

    See you around! 😊

    P.S: My husband and I have two adorable dachshunds, Bullet and Cujo, that take (almost) all of our free time!

    Hi Marc,

    To answer your question I can tell you how we do it in my company. I’m the lead UX/UI designer at Neuro Event Labs and I work very closely with the web team. Our process is as follows: first I design the workflow of the system (e.g if it’s a new feature), then we discuss technical difficulties with the team in the early stages, something like sanity check, ensuring that I don’t design something that’s impossible to implement.

    This is an iterative process, meaning that on a weekly basis, I present the next iteration of the design within the team until we agree that we have covered the most common use cases and the implementation and design go hand-in-hand. And given the fact that our product is a medical device, covering the most common use cases is not easy to achieve as one might think.

    From that aspect, I can’t say I have experienced too many frustrations because the developers (and other stakeholders) are part of the product design. Even during the implementation, if something unexpected comes up and requires some change in the design, I’m asked to provide guidance and make decisions.

    The main difficulty comes when we try to engage real end-users for usability tests; it’s simply not easy due to time and other constraints.

    P.S. I’m also asked why I moved to Tampere! 😬

    Hi Tatiana,

    You live in a very nice city! Especially we love to visit Tampere in the summer, amazing scene! Also, beautiful dogs!!

    Thank you so much for your answers, it sounds very interesting! I understand that for the medical device itself you need to get feedback from patients who use it, but when it comes to the website part of the product, I think I could help with the usability and interaction tests.

    So, may I suggest you take a look at our service attractive.ai?

    Our service, Poe, uses decades of scientific research and evidence to provide useful UX insights and improvements. Think of it as if all the user research you need is actually done in advance for you. For example, Poe looks at user perception and attention. It generates a predictive heatmap that tells where the attention areas are. Then, if the attention is not as expected you can easily correct the color choices you made (or other aspects of the design).

    I’m happy to give you more info, so feel free to ping me any time. (Don’t want to write too much because otherwise I’ll be told off for promoting, even though I’m just trying to help here! :))

    In any case, thank you again for your answers, I really appreciate you sharing your experience and I hope you have a very lovely summer!

    Cheers,
    Marc
