When to Skip UX Research
Take the 2021 Design Tools Survey
We're always open to new resources if you have any to recommend (but we read through a lot and picked a few we thought were most useful). We'll take a look at some of the issues you mentioned.
Good question—it's low numbers spread across like 100+ countries that we grouped into an "Other" category (but maybe that's not clear). You can see those countries in the raw data here: https://gumroad.com/l/2020-design-tools-survey
I wish this had existed long before now to help the designers I’ve mentored who are trying to grow their portfolio. While case studies are the primary format for UX portfolios, there’s nothing stopping someone from showcasing other skills with engaging exercises like these.
Maybe you’re at a job where you’re can’t frequently be in touch with customers. Maybe you’re stuck in a role but trying to make the switch the UX. Maybe you’re studying UX but would like to gain a competitive edge. Maybe you’re a team lead trying to help your team learn new skills. UX Challenges are an invaluable tool in any of these situations.
Jordan and I put a ton of time into this—hope you find it valuable!
You may even notice it looks shockingly similar to OPs site.
