  1. Data-Driven Design: The Rise of Big Data in UX

    July 10, 2023

    Data-driven design lets designers create user experiences that rely heavily on data analysis to inform their design decisions. In today’s digital world, big data has become a valuable asset for businesses seeking to understand their customers better and enhance their digital user experiences. The use of big data in UX design has become increasingly important as the demand for personalized and seamless digital experiences continues to rise.

    Gone are the days when UX design was based solely on intuition and guesswork. Today, designers have access to vast amounts of data that can provide valuable insights into users’ behaviors and preferences.

  2. UX Design for Big-Data Applications

    July 10, 2017

    Today, we’re experiencing a growing torrent of big data. Data for our retail purchases, Internet searches, social-media posts, and even our commutes to work reside somewhere. Not only do we cast a shadow on the ground when we walk in the sunlight, we all have data doppelgängers that show both our current state and the history of our lives. Our own data interacts with the data of other people—such as those who buy the same books on Amazon that we do or our friends on social media. All of this data interacts with the companies with whose products and services we engage.

    Through machine learning and artificial intelligence, organizations can use big data to predict our next actions—sometimes even better than we can predict them ourselves. The implications of big data are enormous—enabling us to view suggested products while on a retailer’s Web site, receive recommendations to connect with people who we might know on social-media sites, and benefit from smart IoT devices that gather data from us and those who are similar to us, then act accordingly. Organizations in the healthcare and financial arenas use big-data systems to spot potential adverse events, while also pinpointing scenarios that can bring increased profits and positive outcomes.

  3. Big Data: Revolutionizing UX Design Strategies, Part 1

    January 20, 2020

    The world of UX design has seen rapid evolution in the last decade—much of it because of the value users have gained in the digital space.

    Search engines consistently rolled out updates that penalized Web sites with crappy user experiences. Digital marketers woke up to the reality that—no matter how great their backlink strategy or the depth of their content—it was their Web site’s user experience that determined how users perceived and valued their site and the things on offer there.

    But some big questions remain: What exactly is a good user experience? How do we define the specifics of what makes a good user experience? How can companies create good user experiences for their Web sites and apps? Ambiguity regarding the answers to these questions persists.

    In Part 1 of this four-part series, I’ll discuss the negative impacts that some typical UX design approaches have had on businesses. Read More
