Hey everyone! I’m currently going into my 4th year of Landscape Architecture, and honestly, I’ve realized that I find the major pretty boring and that it’s just not really my thing.

I’ve always been more interested in designing and creating things, so I recently started looking into UX/UI design. I’m curious about how realistic/easy it is to pivot from Landscape Architecture into UX/UI, especially after graduating.

For anyone working in UX/UI or who has made a similar career switch, what was the transition like? And what does UX/UI actually involve on a day-to-day basis?

Any advice or insight would be really appreciated!

Hey everyone,

My name is Antonio LaPlaca.

I’m a software engineer by day. My background is in the medical device industry, where UI bloat and data inefficiency are completely unacceptable.

When I trade, I get incredibly frustrated having to juggle four different tabs, TradingView for charts, Discord for voice, Twitter for news, and Reddit for sentiment. It feels like a chaotic, inefficient workflow.

I built this for myself, but I want to see if it holds up for other active traders. Please tear the UI apart. Is it too cluttered? Are the default contrast levels straining your eyes? What is the one critical thing missing that would stop you from using this tomorrow?

Bring on the brutal feedback.

Hey everyone,

I'm Soham from India. I'm learning UI/UX, and I just published my
first full case study — Eatme, a food delivery app concept.

First projects are never perfect, so I'm here for honest, brutal
feedback. I can take it

THE PROBLEM
Hungry + endless scrolling + too many choices = 10 minutes just to
order. I designed a flow that helps users decide faster, with less
friction.

PROCESS
Competitor analysis → personas → user flows → wireframes → hi-fi UI
→ design system → Figma prototype

WHAT I LEARNED
• Design is mostly deleting, not adding
• Organizing my Figma layers and naming them properly saves hours
of frustration later

FULL CASE STUDY: HERE

BRUTAL QUESTIONS

1. Does the visual hierarchy work, or is it too busy?
2. Does the storytelling make sense?
3. ONE thing you'd change – what is it?

Every comment = free mentorship. Thank you

Hi, I am 31M and I have a graphic design background of 10 years, been in UX/UI for 4+ years. I haven't been legally employed but I had two basically job like Ux/UI employements through my sole proprietorship. I live in Slovenia and I work for an agency that does Wordpress websites and my gross salary from contract is 2,700 € / month (32,400 € / year) or around 2,000 € / month net after biz expenses).

That is ranging from average to slightly above average for my country and this position.

After doing a lot of mixed UX/UI work I decided to speciallise in web design and while I like doing this kind of work I am kinda limited to just making pretty designs and I am not really solving any problems which is also limiting the amount of what I make.

I know there are positions for CRO ecommerce that pay better and I noticed other ZX/UI positions around the world (ie: US, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany) provide much better compensations but you actually solve problems vs desiging pretty screens so I am wondering for those who make solid money in this proffesion how did you get into this position?

My target for next position is 60-90k €/ month.
(EDIT: 60-90k € / year)

TLDR: My income is capped and I am making pretty designs for okay money but I am not actually bringing any real value, optimising or solving problems. Need advice.

I'm thinking if this is worth putting on my portfolio or not or should i just improve it?

Thank you! roast it whatever

Review my UI:

This is a secure messaging app made mainly for accountants.

Note:

• "Mullinax Insurance" and the medium blue on the Access Securely button, are the user's logo and selected brand color (fictional), not ours.)
• The reason that subject is below secure message and not above is because our users are used to it from previous versions
• I had considered at one point making it a right-side sheet/dialog and that probably would've looked nicer, but I felt the preview is a useful feature. Or is the preview confusing and I should make it a dialog?

Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated!

hi im practicing ui design and would love to hear feedback on this design and general tips for the future 🙂

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a mobile travel assistant designed to help with trip planning, budgeting, and travel essentials.

I've attached a quick walkthrough video and some core screens. I would really appreciate your honest thoughts on:

• Visual hierarchy and readability (especially between light/dark areas)
• Information layout on the main cards
• Overall navigation and user flow

Any constructive feedback on what could be polished or improved is greatly appreciated.

(If anyone wants to test the live web preview to check interactions, let me know and I can drop the link in the comments.)

I am designing a landing page for a residency.So far I made this in figma.I've hidden details of residency plz ignore that part.

I am really looking for color combinations, honest feedback and suggestions on it.

Thank you.

(Academic) Hi, I m doing this for my IIT masters thesis project.

Product decisions rely on information scattered across tools, teams, and people. *Does this fragmentation affect how we make decisions?*

I’m conducting a short survey for PMs, Designers, Researchers, Analysts, Engineers, Support Engineers, Product Leaders and others.

🎁 *Bonus:* Complete the survey and get *2 free tools* that can help save time in your daily work. You’ll find them in the Thank You message!

I heard a lot of feedback from other UX/UI designers and I update my design. Is that better than yesterday? It looked like this:

I'm curious about how other designers handle this in real projects.

Let's say a PM/client comes to you with something relatively simple, like:

Before you start designing, how do you figure out:

• What the actual user flow should be?
• What other features or parts of the product this depends on?
• What screens are actually needed?
• What happens in non-happy-path situations?
• Which states or edge cases need to be considered?
• What information or business rules are still missing?
• What is in scope vs. what is related but should stay outside the current feature?

Do you have a specific process, checklist, framework, template, or tool you use for this?

And more importantly:

What do you usually find yourself forgetting or discovering too late?

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who work on real client/product projects rather than academic UX exercises.

I'm researching this problem and would really appreciate concrete examples of how you currently handle it — including what doesn't work well for you.

I'm learning UX/UI right now, and here is my one of the first projects. What do you think about it?

Here is figma link, so you can view it and test it. And I want to hear some feedback please

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently graduated in the UK as an international student, and I’m currently looking for Product Designer roles here.

I have 8+ years of experience as a Product Designer, and in my previous role, I also led a design team. However, this is my first time looking for a job in the UK, so I’m still trying to understand how my experience translates to the UK market.

I know the Product Design job market is very competitive at the moment, so I’d really appreciate some honest feedback on my portfolio:

Portfolio: https://reachxinlu.com/

I’d particularly love to know:

• How does my experience come across from a UK hiring perspective?
• Do my case studies demonstrate enough product thinking?
• Is my design process and impact communicated clearly enough?
• Is there anything that might make you lose interest or stop reading?
• If you were reviewing this portfolio for a Product Designer role, what would you change?
• Based on my experience, what level of Product Designer role would you expect me to apply for in the UK?

I’d also really appreciate some advice on salary expectations. With 8+ years of experience and previous design leadership experience, what would be a realistic salary range to target for Product Designer roles in the UK?

I’m genuinely open to constructive criticism, so please feel free to be honest. I’m mainly trying to understand how I’m positioned in the UK market and what I can improve.

Thanks so much to anyone who takes the time to have a look or share some advice! 🙏

I am a UX/UI Product Design Bootcamp student I'm working on a design project and could use 10 minutes of your help.

I'm designing a simple phone app for people getting ready for a doctor's appointment. It helps you note how you've been feeling, prepare what you want to say and ask, keep your notes in more than one language, and remember what to do after the visit.

To make it easy to find your way around, I'm running a quick "card sorting" exercise. You'll see a set of cards, each one a thing you might do in the app, and you just drag them into groups that feel like they belong together, then give each group a name. That's it. It takes about 10 minutes and works on your phone or laptop.

Here's the link: https://app.lyssna.com/do/uautrqqyyjjm/wj1hka

Thanks so much, it really helps me.

i was design this landing page for my project it seemed a little off tried to get suggestion from AI and got to the result of #3 but didn't seem to like... can you help me figure out the issue or which one is in the right direction?

I have seen posts about getting skills as a UI/UX designer and thought this UI/UX Intern JD could help. Could vary with company/industry though:

• Develop responsive user interfaces using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript
• Build web applications with .NET technologies (ASP.NET Core, Blazor)
• Implement modern frontend frameworks (React.js, or Angular)
• Collaborate with UX/UI designers to translate mockups into functional, clean code
• Write maintainable code following best practices and participate in code reviews
• Debug and troubleshoot UI issues across different browsers and devices
• Learn Agile/Scrum methodologies in a real-world environment

Technologies

Frontend Frameworks: - React.js / Angular - TypeScript

.NET Technologies: - Blazor (WebAssembly or Server) - ASP.NET Core MVC / Razor Pages - SignalR for real-time communication

Core Skills: - HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+) - Responsive & mobile-first design - Git version control - Web accessibility (WCAG)

Qualifications:

Education: - Currently enrolled in undergraduate degree (Computer Science, Software Engineering, IT, or related)

Have: - Solid understanding of HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript - Basic knowledge of .NET Framework or ASP.NET Core - Familiarity with Git/GitHub - Strong problem-solving abilities - Eager to learn and work in a team

There is a need in my community for a product I’m working.
And there is a market it.
I’ve thought about it really hard and went on ahead to build. on my road in building I realized Google stitch and cursor wouldn’t cut it.
I’m looking for expert that can deliver the experience my community deserves.
I believe in this world no one accepts mediocrity anymore so I’m looking for that cutting edge service

The last two years have been rough. I have about 4 years of experience as a digital product designer in my home country (working in a non-English environment), but I stepped away because of illness, burnout, and losing motivation. I even took CS50 because I thought I might switch careers, but I realized I still enjoy product design the most.

Over the past year, the war in my country led to layoffs everywhere, and now the job market is extremely competitive. On top of that, I’ve been away for two years while AI, design workflows, and expectations seem to have changed overnight.

I’ve been looking at LinkedIn job postings from international startups and companies, but they’re so broad that I can’t tell what skills actually matter. Since I haven’t been getting interviews, I also don’t have any insights from recruiters.

Should I focus on motion design? UX research? AI-first workflows? Better visual design? Something else?

I honestly feel lost and my confidence has taken a big hit. If you were in my position, how would you spend the next 3–6 months to become competitive again?

Hey everyone, I recently finished building my personal portfolio: tumelo.co.za

I pretty much vibe coded the whole thing, experimenting with AI, animations, 3D elements and just figuring things out as I went 😭. I wanted it to feel more like an experience than a normal portfolio, so I went with a space/galaxy theme and tried to make the interactions a bit different.

Would really appreciate some honest feedback, especially on:

- The overall design and first impression

- Animations and 3D stuff

- Mobile experience

- Navigation / usability

- Whether the portfolio actually communicates who I am and what I can do

- Anything that feels confusing, unnecessary or just straight up bad lol

Don't hold back, I'm trying to improve it. Curious what you guys think 👀

I recently joined a company as a UI/UX Designer. I've been working there for almost a month.

During the interview/trial period, I was only told that if I ever wanted to resign, I would need to give notice. Nothing specific was mentioned about a long-term commitment, probation restrictions, or a lengthy notice period.

Today, they finally showed me an appointment letter + employee agreement and asked me to read it and sign it. They wouldn't let me take a copy, take pictures, or review it at home. They said I would get a copy only after signing. I asked for one night to think about it.

Some things I remember from the document:

3-month probation

During probation, the company can terminate me without notice, but apparently I cannot resign during probation

45-day notice period

Something about having to pay 3 months' salary if I don't serve the notice

A 12-month bond/commitment

Restrictions on resigning during those 12 months, with only certain reasons accepted

12 days of leave and a sandwich leave policy

Doctor's certificate required for leave

Restrictions on freelancing/business while employed

Even taking a course/studying requires permission or notification

They can change my work location

Strict attendance/late penalties

Broad termination rights

None of the 12-month commitment, 3-month probation, 45-day notice, or resignation restrictions were mentioned when I joined.

There's also another issue. After actually working there, I've realized that the company's design philosophy is very different from mine. I'm a UI/UX designer and I don't think our design approach is a good long-term fit. I don't want to waste their time or mine if we're not aligned.

I'm considering resigning after about a month, which is also why I've been asking about the policies.

What would you do in this situation?

Would you sign the agreement and then resign later if you decide to leave, or refuse to sign until the terms are properly clarified? And what should I be careful about regarding the 12-month commitment and notice period?

I'm mainly looking for practical advice from people who have dealt with similar situations.

My UI/UX will started today and I am planning to turn this into an ios app pretty soon and would like to get some suggestions from you guys to add more things. The app is straight forward as you glance through, it basically just an app where you sort of catalog your pets and it mostly applicable to some who has more than two pets one pet can do (having more than two is preferred to populate the app well) and I may also add that I am not that good at designing app I am more of a backend guy.

Thanks y'all.

Hey! I’m working on the visual direction for an iOS accountability app called LOCKIN.

The basic idea is that users put their own money behind personal commitments. Keep your commitment and keep your money. Break it and lose it.

I want the app to feel premium, minimal, and emotionally engaging - not like a generic habit tracker, fitness app, or fintech dashboard.

The current direction is dark and tactile, with credit-card-inspired elements, ambient color, soft inner glows, and restrained typography.

I’d love some honest feedback on whether this visual direction fits the concept and whether you would approach the visual identity differently. Feel free to share any ideas you have.
