Zero To Design

By ZeroToDesign

Four London-based Product Designers take you on a journey of exploring their daily struggles, f**k-ups, and occasional successes. It's all too common to hear from design leaders at companies with large, thriving design teams, but the ZeroToDesign podcast aims to give a voice to new and seasoned designers in the 'real' design world. Each episode they bring to life a challenging topic they're currently facing, their most recent design inspiration, and maybe even a tip or two!

What is facilitation anyway?

What is facilitation anyway?

In this episode, we'll cover why facilitation is an important skill for a designer, or to be blunt - why you shouldn't call yourself a designer if you can't facilitate. 😱 And for today's design inspiration, we'll critique an iOS feature, which sounds great in theory, but ended up being a little disappointing. Let's do this!

Do we care enough about UI?

In this episode, we're debating whether UI is underappreciated relative to UX. Do we put lots of time and effort into getting the UX right, but then rush through the UI?!
