Unlocking UX Secrets: How 1 Hour of Session Recordings Transformed Trendyol Seller Panel Just one hour of watching session recordings (Hotjar) revealed a massive pain point: sellers suffering the "scroll of death" for bulk actions, forced to scroll back to the top after selecting items. Three iterative designs later, a bottom-positioned sticky toolbar triggered by checkbox selection won—proving that quick, unbiased observation in natural workflow can uncover insights no survey or interview could, without spending extra budget or bothering busy users NNG: The Custodial Era of UX - Cleaning Up After AI AI lets teams build faster than UX can evaluate, creating UX debt: interfaces that "technically function" but confuse users, overload features, and skip foundational questions about whether something should exist at all. UX's new custodial role isn't just janitorial cleanup—it's triaging what to keep, accelerating evaluation (rapid user panels, checklists), and adding UX knowledge to generation (Design.md, design systems)—because the goal is to prevent the next mess, not just clean it up Prototyping: Rethinking Data Visualisation - A UX Approach To Dashboards That Actually Drives Decisions Most dashboards fail because they're built from available data, not from a specific operational question—so they show numbers without driving decisions. The fix is upstream: define context (what question are we answering?), audience (familiarity + accountability), and insight (what should change after seeing this?), then design the visualization to serve that, not the other way around—because the right chart isn't about simplicity, it's about appropriate complexity for the person and the decision at hand AI: Thoughtful AI implementation for UXR leaders AI skeptic or not, set a north star: AI should support, not replace, research quality (craft, assessment, revision). Preserve core skills with clear guidelines (don't use AI for research questions, do use it for data cleaning, label AI output), and frame every tool conversation around risk vs. reward—because in the rush for efficiency, we risk losing the human processing time that produces real insights Design: My “Book of Sorcery” Taught Me Design Before the Internet Did Before the internet, a fine art diploma taught design through observation and limitation: hand-drawn ads, lettering from a book of 30 fonts, and a physical "book of sorcery" of clippings from magazines and packaging. That instinct to collect and trust what "looks right" later met research training—behavioral psychology, HCI, accessibility—transforming instinct from the answer into the first question: why does it look right, to whom, and under what assumptions? @uxdigest
