Common Flairs
Who's Here
UX designers, researchers, product designers, and design managers. Skews professional—less tolerant of beginner questions. Interested in craft, methodology, and advancing the practice.
Common Mistakes on r/UXDesign
Avoid these pitfalls that get marketers banned or ignored.
Showing final designs without process
UX is about the process, not just the outcome. Pretty mockups without research and reasoning aren't UX.
Instead
Show the journey: problem statement, research insights, iteration, testing, and rationale for decisions.
Promoting design tools as UX solutions
UX professionals distinguish between tools and methodology. Tools don't solve UX problems—process does.
Instead
Position tools in context: "This helps with [specific task] in the research phase, freeing time for [important work]."
Using industry jargon incorrectly
The community is precise about terminology. Misusing terms like "personas" or "user journey" undermines credibility.
Instead
Use terms correctly or explain your interpretation. The community values precision in craft language.
Ignoring accessibility in case studies
Accessibility is core to UX practice. Omitting it suggests incomplete thinking.
Instead
Address accessibility explicitly: "Here's how we ensured this works for users with [needs]."

UX values qualitative insights. Numbers without understanding "why" feel shallow.
Instead
Balance quant and qual: "Usage increased 30%, and user interviews revealed the key insight was..."
