You are the best Femke! I started following you a couple of years ago, when I wanted to start being a Product designer - UX designer, and here I am with almost 2 years of experience. Your videos have helped me a lot (and still help me 🥰) thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience 💪🏼
Thank you for this video. Found this really useful for an issue I'm currently facing. Your idea of showing the vision as part of the design to influence the decisions is a great solution that I will be trying in future projects.
I'm currently at a point where I legit need this. I'm glad I stumbled on it. Going to probably use this today to help me showcase my ideas and exploration better. Thanks Femke
This is EXACTLY what I need right now! Thanks so much Femke! Your jamming session with PM is such a validation for someone who just started part-timing as a product designer for a startup. I was doing something really similar the other day and was not sure if that was the way to go. The reporting is different from when I freelance on a project-based pricing gig. So I just wanted to say thank you for the real world examples and walkthroughs. Keep them coming!
Thanks for sharing your different approaches for getting feedback Fem! I feel like knowing what you want feedback on and when in your process you need feedback is super important!
Around 8:25 you spoke about jamming with PM. - How do you jam with PM with a non-design background who doesn't think about exploration beyond MVP or first solution? - What if they are not well informed on usability and visual design principles? I guess that doesn't matter if your only trying to ideate and select a concept/direction.
The answer is the same; I'd first sit down and discuss the value of design and ensure they understand the role design can plan in the success of the project, and how we can work together. This video may help: th-cam.com/video/7pdqbyJ8Yuc/w-d-xo.html
Hey Femke! Thank you for sharing this video with us. I was also having a similar practice when I was presenting my design ideation/exploration but you have a way more structured and clearer way to make it so much better! I am so gonna try adopting this :)
I try to link to those resources inside the Figma itself most of the time. usually I have an overview page in figma with links to relevant resources. But yeah if I'm sharing async and there's a relevant accompanying doc, I'd link it also.
Wow I'm wildly disorganized compared to her... I gotta step up my game. I guess that's the difference between someone who gets hired at Uber eats and wealth simple vs other designers 😅

The only channel on youtube that uses actual working examples to explain concepts and methods!
God send!!!
Haha glad to help ☺️
The camera effect at 6:14 for "why not this or what about that"... I felt that lol
Love the “messy, raw look” at your explorations and presentations!
I appreciate that!
This channel is the best if you aren't just exploring but actually trying to build products. Thanks for providing such valuable information.
So glad to hear this, thank you!

Congrats that is so great to hear! Glad I could help you on your journey even if in some small way :)
You are the mentor I needed 5 or 6 years ago. Thank you so much for these amazing videos!
You're so welcome!

You're welcome Michelle!! And I'd say any time spent with your PM is well worth your time! Hope it goes well :)

100%!
This is some of the most helpful and practical content I've found on this topic. Thank you Femke! Love your work
That makes me happy to hear that, thank you Jahnvi!
This video is too real. I appreciate you sharing!
You are so welcome!
Great video, just what I needed! Love to see concrete examples! I hope you do these kind of videos more :)
Thanks so much!
This is so incredibly helpful and useful!! Thank you for providing information in such an applicable and digestible way!
You're welcome :)

Hey!! Glad to hear this helps, thank you for watching!
Thank you very much for giving us an idea of how to present and make a clean layout in figma. thanks.
My pleasure!
Yes! Just what i needed, thanks! 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Great tips! :)
Thanks! 😊
Great video! thanks 🌱
Love this video as it’s full of practical examples! I’m wondering which version you would choose for user testing, the MVP or the vision?
Practically probably the MVP as it's where we can gain the most valuable insights to help us ship.
@@femkedesign Thank you for your reply! This makes lots of sense.
Quick question: Do you usually have a set of components for your low fidelity wireframe? Thanks.
Not usually, but sometimes!
Enjoyed this one! Which other one video on articulating your decisions are you referring to? Couldn't find it right away. Cheers
Here it is! th-cam.com/video/B1rKtQpgo9k/w-d-xo.html
When giving these presentations, do you supply other resources outside of Figma like a Notion or google doc of requirements, specs, research, or data?
I try to link to those resources inside the Figma itself most of the time. usually I have an overview page in figma with links to relevant resources. But yeah if I'm sharing async and there's a relevant accompanying doc, I'd link it also.
I really like your wireframes. Do you have like a wireframe kit that you could recommend?
I don't!! I usually build a custom one for our own app.
Can I use my components in lo-fi before transferring to colored in hi-fi? Or should I use them separately?
I sometimes create low-fi components to make my design process quicker. But I personally would keep them separate from the final hi-fi components.
@@femkedesign thanks for the tip
What do you name those little helper text boxes under the artboards? Thinking of using them.
Annotations!
can i get this link
Do you supplement your async presentations with a Loom/Slack recording of you giving a tour of your Figma file?
Often, yes!
