What are some UX “sins” commonly made by beginner designers that should be avoided?


Here are 5 I have seen:

  • Focusing too heavily on running with solutions without identifying the real problems to solve.

  • Seeing the Designer's role as one in which they "work for product managers," instead of "with" them

  • Debating minor visual design details when the big picture is wrong or off.

  • Going for consistency for consistency's sake.

  • Giving users what they asked for instead of what they need (or letting a Stakeholder do the same) in the name of "research"
