Real Talk with Google UX Designer 

Start your own UX Design career with Springboard (job guaranteed!): www.springboard.com/courses/ui-ux-design-career-track/?

UX/UI design has to be the most confusing job in todays world of technology, while for big companies like google its more specific and you get to work with a big team, for smaller companies you get paid waaay less and you also tasked to be the (graphic designer, web designer, animator, content creator, UAT reporter & in some cases coding developer.. this needs to change, we need more information to be distributed.

What is UX? You can see the youtube timeline split into 8 parts suggesting there are 8 questions. That's UX right there.

I can confirm as a UI/UX designer myself, work isn't easy and it takes longer to come to agreements and even longer to be happy with your own work

I am new to the UX world and she helped me to be able to easily describe what it is! Thank you for this video.

This was a great video! really informational, helpful, and also interesting to watch :) loved Sandy's answer to the biggest challenges

im new at being UI UX but im glad she got interviewed. now i understand the questions to the interviews. i can start my own story. Thank you so much!

I love her analogy as being an Architecture, because that is really what UX design is all about. It was creating an experience from the start until the end.

I work in higher education but would love to continue my UX journey outside of higher ed!

Do you guys also hate it when people describe UI as being something pretty but useless? When done the right way, UI will actually incorporate UX research and then deliver products that are useful, beautiful and will improve usability. Both UI and UX should work together and not kinda compete with each other to see which one is more valuable - it makes no sense.

compromising design is very important point. Agree to that.

This girl seems so easy and good to work with

This interview was very helpful and insightful!

Indeed Evangelizing UX is a super high hurdle to cross. its be a super valuable skill to have to be hired in a good position😎

Shout out the interviewer. You can run with the interview and offer some input. Thank you for posing the questions, you can also be curious if you like! Very straight forward, informative, I welcome your input! Meandering can be fun

Pencil idea pretty cool. I'm a data center technician at Google, right now. But, I started out in graphic design and I'd like to either be a PgM for UX or an actual UX designer. My skill set is definitely related to program management. But, I love design.

excellent interview thank you so much

I love the way she talks

Great interview. Very useful and informational.

Very good interview, I like it very much!!!

I like how the the interviewer is asking like a she's computer

What great insight from someone currently active within the industry. We agree with several of the points made, especially about having the need to understand the language of different stakeholders in the design process. BBI Brandboost provides a wide range of website design and strategic development skills that will enhance the effectiveness of your website.

Getting my certification in UX and UI right now :) excited to continue down this path!

Not sure UX and UI analogy of paved road vs unpaved is accurate. One can promote UI as a layer added to UX to offer additional points of interaction to enable a stronger UX. Hence unpaved road with visual wayfinding or markers is a more realistic approach to describing UX and UI, if that is the analogy that we belive works.

How did the stock video insert appear here?

Great interview. Please try to reduce the amount of random stock video clips in between. They were hard to relate to Sandy's talk. Overall great questions asked and Sandy's insights were thoughtful.

She is really good. Awesome video

It's funny to see a UX topic showing color palette thingies, UX designer is not a UI nor Graphic Designer. Show the real UX process please.

Btw. Does anybody know why there is no remove button in the search box on the mail google search page? You can see it in the picture tab, but not on the main page. Why did they decide not to add it, what’s the idea behind?

Glad I stopped everything to watch this video. I'm not alone with my thoughts about being a UI/UX Developer in my company. It's not easy to be trailblazer in a company who doesn't understand what it is. Which is ironic. Lots of companies are boasting their tech, websites and apps, but wonder why nobody visits their sites or uses their apps. They don't because they care little what UX means. And this is why other companies thrive, they listen to the people they hire.

Super useful thanks ❣️

Best way to explain UX and UI. Simple, take our body as a product and Soul as the user of the product. In order for the Soul to experience mortal life, what would be the ideal body for the Soul? As UX Designer, we would try to understand what Soul needs to do on Earth as a Mortal and then design the overall structure of the body, which includes Skeleton, positioning of each part (bone, organs, head, eyes, legs, etc), how each bone would behave, how each part would behave, movement limitation and many other). When all that is done, you then hand it over to the UI designer, who would then add the Visual appearance of the body (Skin color, eye shape, and color, the texture of the skin, the look and feel of everything. Change of skin color on the face when feeling shy). You can then pass this work to an Interactive designer who then can add hair movement, how your butt would giggle when running, how the skin would react when pressed, how certain body parts change in shape when blood flow increases). I hope you are more confused now lol. Technically, UX is a multi-disciplinary field. UI is just one part of the UX, just like UX researcher, Information Architect, UX writer, and many others. All working together to provide a meaningful experience for the user.

반갑습니다 저는 한국에서 ux디자이너,cx디자이너로 일하고 있습니다. 소식을 접할 수 있어서 반가워요 :)

Using Google devices and applications has never been great from my perspective, but they are getting better. If you've had a hand in it that, thanks!

This was a very interesting video - Thank you :)

good metaphor, im a ui/ux student atm, this was a very insightful video to watch

Very informative

Question: What gives more cache to put in your CV? UX Designer or Product Designer?

Guide me ux/ui designer or cloud computing ? Where should i spend my life ?

Bravissimo. Thanks.

Wtf these time stamps are dope! 🔥

What exactly is the difference between UX and UI I still don’t get it

Long live to UX!

I have read a lot about UI/UX but I didn't understand the analogy of 2 roads. Can someone help with what she really really meant?

Hi guys, i need your honest opinion I'm confused in choosing between Data Scientist or UX Designer There are few questions about this topic, but i want to ask from different perspective I am right now a content creator, was a videographer so i do edit videos and such Visualization is always a part of me, i like to vizualize things like when i hear music i can imagine the videos that fits the music But what i asked is much bigger than that I know lots of people talk about what you're more into, if maths go with data science, if creative go with ux design However, i want to know how's the life of both careers? Which one offer better work life balance? Because when i did creative work, i didn't really have work life balance, i did a lot of overwork stuffs, because creative work sometimes requires you to think constantly or out of the box that really absorbed your attention even outside of your work hours. When i go outside, my body is in holiday mode but my mind is not there, thinking of the unfinished project. Then second, which one is more important and irreplaceable? Because i see lots of websites now offering design templates which mean maybe in the future, companies don't really need ux designer since they can use good templates from the internet. Cmiiw Third, when you become the CEO of the company. Which skill is best to master? Data science or ux design? That will absolute critical as someone in that position. Like to hear your thoughts about this, thank you

Hahah you can tell the host is very excited. 😄

Do they use Sketch or adobe XD?

Which degree is required to become a ux designer?

I exactly use this example to explain UX to people! We are architects of digital products.

Great sharing! I m also a UX designer working at a Google in Silicon Valley. Thanks for sharing! Hope we can connect! I just started my RU-vid channel sharing design and lifestyle.

Coincidence I too worked at Fab and currently I am working at another of ur employer

I love thissss

What is your education background plsss tell

What a condescending way to describe UI design just because she's a UX designer lmaooo

For all my English as a second language people as me, at 9:21 I almost sure that she says "All of this so far has been in collaboration with PM and ENG, which means Product Manager and Engineering, I guess

oh, i d love to have my home decorated that way

good design process :)

This is how I interpreted her UX/UI metaphor. The UX is the dirt road path in the sense that it's the way users LIKE to take. Even though there is a nice paved road made for users to walk, everyone is different and might take the path they prefer- the dirt road, which might be the shortcut to the destination they want to walk to. Kinda like this: www.treehugger.com/desire-paths-shortcuts-public-sidewalks-4867870

Couldn't get over the fact that she said "Sketch files"! Why is Google still using Sketch and not Figma!?

Imo this video didn't need the stock footage cuts. It's a little weird.

Why is she using printed colour swatches?

I liked every answer to the questions except the UX UI difference. That answer made no sense and was not helpful in clarifying the purpose of UI and UX. It just made the person sound like she thinks UX is better than UI when that is not the case. Here is a better analogy: UX is the architectural plans, the blueprint. UI is the interior design of the finished blueprints. One is the structuring and the other is deciding how the structuring will look, which is also important.

Who was the designer she looks up to? I couldn’t quite catch that

Sketch??

I wear black turtleneck and glasses :)

Did she already have a degree before entering into springboard?

Does the UX designer need to be a developer? Thank you

The comparison between UI and UX was terrible, it's definitely not as negative as she made it to be but actually more interconnected.

How much u make as a designer ?

Her analogy was really really bad. UI is that paved path? And UX is that dirt path? Is she seriously a UX designer? UX and UI goes hand in hand. A good UI complements a good UX. A great UI obviously does not make an app with a rubbish UX great and vice versa.

How to start our journey as ux designer, like what course to do, is it better to have a degree in designing or a diploma courses will prove better, what should a student of class 12th do? Please share me some details about all this, and whats the scope in India and in at global years in coming years.

Who edited this video? It's an interview and you rarely even get to watch it.

What's she's named, please (both). I like this interview.

Black turtle neck and glasses :) must have met me.

Cool input! But please stop using these stock footages. These images did so hard not match to what was said so that what was said was bended to a wrong direction.

Lol what her example of compromise was the developers lying about what is possible and her looking into it herself and realizing they were wrong.

I've never been stylish. I definitely don't dress the part of a designer (whatever that means). I feel uncomfortable at the few social gatherings I've had the nerve to attend. I still want to be a UX Designer 😥

Why the Host is so happy?

City people are so lucky.. Because of lack of resources.. we don't get a Job.. Need Job atleast to reach my goal

🖒❤

Katie?

She applied 3 times or went through the interview process 3 times...not the same.

Interviewer is an advanced humanoid version of a chatbot

STAR method. She speaks as if she was having job interview and was just asked the question how did you handle a conflict at work 🤣🤣🤣

she just told us that google has developed products for their creators to protect them from google. lol.

sorry the paved path vs the rugged shortest path is not a good example of difference between ui and ux. UI are the things along the path that helps make the entire journey enjoyable.

She got muney

This interview helped me to forget about UX and pursue other career. The challenge of evangelizing what you do feels exhausting to me because you wont get taken seriously.

I don’t agree with a few things but most importantly what she said about “design skills are easier to learn than people skills” which is completely wrong if you work with softwares like cinema 4d, after effects, creating custom typography or know how to build a cohesive brand. It takes decades, what easier are u kidding me?

It's 2020, no one sane buys in the belief that UX & UI are separated.

She cute

"great collaborater"... nope, not the area of design I want to go down

How she got into Google when she is not clear what's the difference between UI and UX.

ux = placement, ui = style, theme, drawing . as simple as that

why am i watching this?

3:15 Using iphone in Google 😂

"everyone around me got fired but I enjoyed the opportunity to get all the experience I needed so fast" Sorry but why does this sound so ingenious and dishonest? Vulnerability, anyone? Leadership and qualities to look for when putting people in to the spotlight ought to go beyond brands we work for. It's not 2010 anymore 🙄

yikes. why are some people in the comments so negative? I thought UX designers are supposed to have empathy? I feel that she isn't able to articulate some words. I had the same experience in a UX conference where UX designers are so full of ego and trying to correct the speakers and mumble in their seats. *sigh*

is this interviewer real? Was this pre-recorded?

If this is a UX design video and not a packaging or graphic design then why do we see designers with Pantone shade cards. When was the last time you used a Pantone shade card as a Web/UI or UX designer? I mean seriously we use hex codes and not shade cards. Let's get over colored pencils and shade cards for once!
