Taking a coffee break? Then plug in your earphones and let this episode play! By the time you have finished your coffee, you will have learned something new about UX Design. This is UX Anudeep! I am UX Designer and a mentor who has helped more than 12,000 students kickstart their journey into UX Design. Welcome to my podcast, UX Coffee break, A not so bookish UX Podcast. In this podcast, I share the very same things that have helped a lot of my mentorship students get their first UX job. So enjoy your coffee and start your learning!

<p>“Why doesn’t my company value design?”<br>Wrong question. The right one is: What have I done to show how design can impact the business?</p><p>Most people get it wrong. They think companies are supposed to value them first. But here’s the uncomfortable truth — nobody gets valued by default. Not designers. Not developers. Not anyone.<br>Value doesn’t come with your role. It comes from the impact you create.</p><p>So if you ever feel like your work isn't respected — don’t wait for permission. Show them what you can do. Ask yourself: “What have I done to make them see the power of design?” Because the world doesn’t reward you for what you know. It rewards you for what you prove.</p><p>And no — big companies aren’t special. They just have more people who’ve learned to speak the language of business. If you learn to listen, understand the experiment behind the chaos, and use design to reduce the risk of that gamble — you’ll always be valued. Not because of your title. But because you helped the team win.</p>

<p>I often use this analogy when talking to my students about building design Systems for their dummy projects : Stop trying to build a five-star kitchen when all you want to make is Maggi.A lot of designers struggle with naming styles or building systems because we think there’s an “ideal” way out there — like Material Design — that we must strictly follow. But truth is, systems aren’t handed down like textbooks. They’re built project by project, file by file, one messy screen at a time. When you're creating something small, don’t copy-paste frameworks built for massive teams and global products. You’re just making Maggie — you don’t need a Michelin-star kitchen for that.Start with whatever is in front of you. Name things based on what makes sense to you. Black-1. Brown-1. Done. Over time, your system will grow, and so will your clarity. Then, when you’re in someone else’s design file — or a bigger org with a design system — you’ll not only survive, you’ll know why it’s built that way. You’ll respect the kitchen because you’ve built your own. That’s how system thinking evolves — not by memorizing rules, but by cooking through the chaos.So next time you're stuck figuring out the "right" way to name a text style… just name it. Get your hands dirty. The real clarity comes after the mess.</p>

<p>A common question I get from beginner designers: “Should I make separate designs for iOS and Android?” “Am I following the right system?” But here's something nobody says loud enough — your value doesn’t come from knowing all the rules. Most of the greatest ideas didn’t come from perfectly following the rulebook — they came from someone questioning if the rule even mattered in the first place.</p><p><br></p><p>When you’re starting out, you’re not here to hand off pixel-perfect developer files. You’re here to shape the North Star — the most ideal version of the product, unconstrained by budget, timelines, or tech. That’s not naive. That’s where design begins. Let the systems catch up later. Let the developers bring you back to earth. Your role is to first dream beyond the current limitations.</p><p><br></p><p>So don’t stress about memorizing every HIG or Material spec in the beginning. Yes, learn them over time. Yes, observe how iOS and Android behave differently. </p><p><br></p><p>Stop second-guessing your process. You're not behind just because you don’t know the "handoff-ready" version. Your ability to dream without limits is not a flaw — it’s your superpower. And when the time comes to work within constraints, you'll already know what you're fighting for — because you’ve seen the future first.</p>
