UXperts Weigh In: Designs We Love, January Edition

We think 2017 is going to be a great year filled with great design, so here to get us off to a good start are four of our UXperts. We’ve asked them to share a website or app design they love right now and tell us why it’s worth your time:

Lavinia Manea – UX Designer at BiblioCommons

Pick: Expensify

  1. It is instantly learnable – The copy, empty states, messaging, visual hierarchy, and concise form design provide focus and guidance from one step to the next. The process is quick, and the feedback is instant.
  2. It is personable – The subtle visual design highlights the relevant actions. This creates a clean, inviting canvas while the use of graphics to ‘get people started’ adds a touch of fun.
  3. It lets technology do the hard work – When using the mobile app, one can simply snap a picture of a receipt and the expense entry is auto-generated (thanks to OCR). By catering to context, device, and leveraging technology true magic can happen, and magic is always fun!

Larz Hsu, Senior Experience Designer at Adobe XD

Pick: canopy.co

Brigita Bulsyte – UI/UX Designer at Spreaker

Pick: Splice

The app has an intuitive navigation pattern that guides you through in a very natural way. The other great thing is that every screen you’re viewing isn’t overcrowded, which makes it look clean. It also helps to focus on a one thing at a time: whether you are cutting footage, recording, editing audio, or managing your projects. I also love the dark shades and accent sky blue color combination that fits great in this kind of product. The truth is, you can’t expect too much from a video editing app on a mobile device. It just have to cover the basic needs and be pleasant and easy to use, and Splice does that.

William de Almeida – UX Designer at Next4 Digital Agency

Pick: nubank.com.br
