In the world of design, we often get so absorbed in our creations that we might overlook some fundamental issues. That’s why I believe in the power of testing your designs, even in their “simplest form”, with colleagues and most accessible users.

Here’s why it’s important:

1. Fresh Perspectives: A second set of eyes can uncover UX issues we might have missed. It’s amazing how someone else can spot the seemingly invisible.

2. Unbiased Feedback: Colleagues and accessible users provide invaluable feedback. But REMEMBER!, they might not be your target audience, so filter their suggestions wisely.

3. Universal Insights: These tests often reveal general UX issues, like “Where can I get support?” If multiple users have this question, it’s a sign that we need to improve the user journey.

Testing doesn’t just make our designs better; it’s a lesson in humility and the power of collaboration. So, let’s keep refining our work and creating experiences that leave no room for confusion.
