Julia Kucherenko and design best practices

This is the article I have written with Transcenda and you can read it in full here. I will highlight some of my favorite points here:

1. You need to track and analyze new applications and websites in and out of your industry. Pay attention to their design architecture, patterns, placement of elements, and transitions. Try to highlight the best practices and implement them into your product.

2. I am a big fan of customization as it makes your product more inclusive and shows that you value users’ needs and preferences when you incorporate personalization, accessibility, changes in color palettes, fonts, and more.

3. I never stop learning and often end up on Youtube watching scientific videos about physics or chemistry. Discovering new things makes you analyze more and perceive the world from a different angle, which is a helpful skill for a designer. I also love painting, and that’s my personal space for experiments with shapes and colors.

4. I believe that the more productive or creative you are, the more rest you need. I have a common practice to go on a retreat once in a while. I love riding a bike or a scooter and visiting a picturesque landmark in my city with a cup of coffee. It doesn’t make a big difference to me what you do to have a nice rest but rather how you do it.
