How to give and receive feedback

by Inês Borges / December 24, 2020

Reading Time: 6 minutes Feedback conveys information about behavior and aims to help point out its strengths and weaknesses. With the help of that evaluation, someone can understand better what is running on their work, what isn’t and how to improve it. It might be easy to take these criticisms too personally. When someone says that your work, in which you spent hours and days to no end on perfecting it, is trash…

A bunch of things I realized turned a light on my creativity

by Júlia Nascimento / November 30, 2020

Reading Time: 4 minutes Some people have seen UX Design as a block for creativity. A lot of constraints, rules, guides, and not much space for breaking the rules. This can be a pain in the ass, especially for those who came from Graphic Design, where (almost) everything is allowed. So the frequent question I see around the community is: how to remain creative as a UX Designer? The first thing…

Another perspective about color and design

by Sara Mota / November 19, 2020

Reading Time: 3 minutes Have you ever wonder about colors? Their power is inescapable! They affect your moods, your reactions, interpretation, and behavior. The way we understand their choice and meanings is deeply rooted in your own experiences and knowledge. Their effects are psychic. A specific color can make you stop, others can make you agitated, and others motivate you to do something. We have so many books around us about…

How to know what information is real online

by Joana Santos Antunes / October 29, 2020

Reading Time: 5 minutes Oh, the internet … what a beautiful place and full of information. An entire world to discover in just one click. Like in the real world, there are truths, information, and wisdom, but there are also lies, agendas, and interests that shape what is said—part of the now popularized term fake news. Don’t get me wrong: what is “true” is subjective. Moreover, even the photos of friends…

Vanity Metrics: what are they and how to read through them

by Tiago Leão / September 24, 2020

Reading Time: 3 minutes Reports are a great source of material for marketing decisions. When well done, they (and metrics) enable incremental growth and provide insights for improving a project, advising what you need to keep doing and what you should stop right away. Nonetheless, reports analysis requires readers to have a sharp eye and be attentive to what we designate as vanity metrics. By definition, vanity metrics are metrics that…

What can art teach coders?

by Rui Andrés / September 17, 2020

Reading Time: 5 minutes Ever since I remember, I’ve been engulfed in the smells of paints, diluent, wood, varnish, and soap – art in general – because of my momma, who is a painter and craftswoman. That’s one of the things that most impacted me growing up. I have always had the desire to also become an artist of sorts and embrace the lifestyle, energy, perception, and sensibilities, which always brought…
