Thank you. This is exactly what I needed. The video had a great pace, fantastic examples and resources to find out more.
On amazon breakdown.. I have to say I personally never go to categories/departments for my quickest way to find what i’m looking for.. I always go to search.. and if plain search doesn’t help I do more refined searches (e.g. by department etc).
She was born to do this! Never seen anyone explain this as clearly as she does. wow!

top video in ux
🤩
This is a nice conceptual overview of the topic; gives me some nice pointers for cross-functional conversations with UX teams as a Software Developer.
Brilliant !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Maaaaan, she's outstanding
Maam please tell me what you had said in 'the context' part? I hear it as "the place where the information leaves" it is right?
brill thanks
The video's content is as pretty as you mam.thank you ❤
Great Video. But I've a question. I'm an expert T-shirt designer and I want to build my career in UI/UX. So that's why I need a good kick start to learn UI/UX step by step. So will you help me?

Can you edit name on certificate, I pay 199 but name not show proper on the certificate 😢
Great video, Thanks! Just as a comment, Amazon does not work on cognitive load, because every search that I made results in thousands of products that I am not interested in.
😇Amazing video..but it would help more if you explain about different hierarchy patterns and models of Information Architecture 😊
Information architecture isn't "Sexy".
But Maureen is...in a Designer way !
Are you serious? I never buy something from Amazon using the site navigation. What I do? Right, a search bar is what I need for Amazon. Costco? Yes, perhaps because search isn't good.
Amazon office chair is a bad example... I'd just search.
Thanks for the feedback Chriserony.
I agree, looking for an office chair under the "Home" department doesn't sound right to me, it should be under an "Office" department.
Hhh
@careerfoundry thank you,this was really very useful
Incredibly unfair comparisons between websites
Usually the logical mental model would be to directly type in the search bar with the keyword "armless office chair" 🥲
I had the exact thought in mind. But I believe since the video is about IA, it all comes down to how the content on a website is organized or arranged and that can be made clear if the user takes some longer steps to find a product, like searching for it under categories under categories.
Maaaaan, she's outstanding
