Perhaps you’re a well-seasoned User Experience (UX) designer, a kick-ass multidisciplinary designer or even a new designer who’s looking to get into the field of UX, you’ve traveled across the vast interwebs to learn more about UX and you know how reading essay-like materials can be very time-consuming.

Helpful, yes, but sometimes you just want quick points so you can jot it into your moleskin notebook or save to Pocket and refer back to at times of need.

For a while now, I’ve been reading up a lot on UX and I found all sorts of UX methodologies and articles written by well-known designers and speakers. I was curious to know what the average everyday designer’s process is like, explained in the simplest way possible so I decided to put together a survey on Typeform.

This is a quick summary of the results of the survey. You can find the full survey at the end of this post.

What’s the goal?

To seek out and draw similarities between designers’ design process and workflow to gain a better understanding of how they think and the most commonly-used UX methodologies.
