Spotify Instagram’s Explore page has long been a mix of personalized recommendations and algorithmic surprises. While it serves its purpose, keeping users engaged, it’s still a passive experience. You scroll, the app guesses, and the cycle repeats. With SynthDesign™, we can transform this into an adaptive discovery space that listens to user intent in...
Continue readingGetting UX Right, From the Start – Powered by SynthDesign™
Spotify Too often, digital products fail not because the idea was bad, but because the experience was flawed from the outset. In the rush to ship, teams guess at what users want, throw together a “good enough” interface, and hope to fix problems later. But in today’s fast-moving markets, “later” often never comes. This...
Continue readingDesigning for Voice: Why Conversational UX Still Hasn’t Found Its Voice
Spotify Voice interfaces promised to revolutionize interaction. No screens, no clicks, just natural language, fast, intuitive, frictionless. But nearly a decade into the voice boom, most experiences still feel awkward, robotic, or simply not valuable. Smart speakers misunderstand. Voice search offers unpredictable results. And voice in cars or apps often adds friction rather than...
Continue readingTarget’s Mobile App: A UX Redesign to Bridge Convenience, Curation, and Confidence
Spotify The Target app is already better than most retail apps. It offers online shopping, in-store availability, curbside pickup, coupons (Circle deals), and even a wallet. But like many enterprise-level retail apps, it’s trying to do everything. In the process, it creates friction for users who just want to get in, get out, and...

Continue readingRedesigning Instagram: Cutting Through the Clutter with UX
Spotify Instagram was once the poster child of mobile-first simplicity, a frictionless, visually-driven app for sharing moments and staying connected. But over time, its interface has become increasingly complex, bloated by features like Reels, Shops, Live, DMs, Threads, and algorithmically injected content. As Instagram chases retention and monetization, the user experience has begun to...
Continue readingDesigning with AI: Why UX Still Needs a Human Heart
Spotify Artificial intelligence can now draft wireframes, generate interface copy, label research transcripts, and even propose flows in seconds. But it still can’t do the one thing great UX always demands: care. Care about the individual on the other end of the screen. Care about context, consent, harm, dignity, and the long-term relationship between...
Continue readingUX Designers Aren’t Going Away—They’re Evolving
This question comes up every day: Are we still UXers? My answer, we’re not just UX designers anymore. We are Digital Designers. Think about it: UX was born in a web and mobile world. But digital design now spans far beyond screens. Today’s digital designer shapes experiences across watches, kiosks, dashboards, in-car interfaces, wearables,...

Spotify We don’t need another app.We need a better one. In a world of infinite options and overwhelming noise, the next great app won’t be the one with the most features or funding; it will be the one that feels like it was built just for you. It will anticipate your needs, respect your...

Spotify When Figma first launched, it didn’t win users with a flood of features. It won with clarity. It wasn’t just cloud-based or collaborative, it was clean, responsive, and felt like it was designed for you. It quietly redefined the designer’s workflow, unchained teams from files and folders, and set a new bar for...
