IXD2: Pattern Resources

IXD2: Pattern Resources

To anyone that came out today, thank you! Here is a summary of a few of the talking points and resources sourced in the presentation.

Summary of Lessons:

1. The Power of Patterns

• Patterns exist beyond aesthetics—they provide structure and predictability in design, routines, and decision-making.

• They serve as a starting point, not a rigid solution.

2. UI/UX Design Patterns

• Digital patterns in UI/UX and product design help create familiar, reusable, and intuitive experiences.

• Understanding user flow patterns (e.g., login, onboarding, customer support) enhances product usability.

3. Product Design & Lifecycle

• Products evolve through different maturity stages—from early adoption to established markets.

• Product-Service Systems integrate physical and digital offerings for engagement and compliance.

4. Career & Team Patterns

• Career growth follows unique patterns of experience, filling skill gaps over time.

• Different team structures (matrix, centralized, decentralized) affect collaboration and innovation.

• AI can be leveraged to build decentralized teams.

5. Critical Thinking & Adaptability

• Anti-patterns in UX, product, and career involve breaking from norms to create unique, valuable experiences.

• Patterns are tools, not replacements—critical thinking remains essential for innovation.
