Relearn design: daily logs refreshing my craft

Hey, I’m hitting reset on my design brain. This is my daily log as I relearn UI/UX—from the basics to the “oh right, I used to know that!” moments.
Every day, I’ll break things down, share resources, rethink old habits, and probably overuse Figma.

Think of it as:

A study journal 📓
A community learning trail 🛤
And a designer’s public accountability check ✅

Follow along, steal what you need, and relearn with me.

What is Usability Testing??

Usability Testing is the process of observing real users interact with your product or prototype to see if they can use it easily, effectively, and without confusion.

In short: It’s about testing the product, not the user.

The goal is to answer questions like:

Can users complete the tasks as intended?
Where do they get stuck or confused?
Is the product intuitive and enjoyable to use?
