Photo by Francisco De Legarreta C. on UnsplashIf you’ve been in UX design for a while, you already know: early in your career, mistakes are inevitable. They can be silly, repetitive, and sometimes costly. Today, I want to share the 7 most common ones I made — in the hope that my experience (and pain) might help you avoid your own.
Mistake #1: Thinking Dribbble = UX DesignWhen I was new to UX, I constantly compared my work to what I saw on Dribbble. Everything there looked so beautiful — perfect colors, stunning animations. My real UX solutions felt boring and clumsy by comparison.
