UX researchers had to use different methodologies for solving any particular problem. If they work in an office, their product manager can help them with the problem. If they work at a startup, they may encounter the problem directly from the user. In the boot camp, UX students may get problem statements from their instructors. Even a potential problem can be found when you look around while you are walking.
Sometimes it’s difficult to identify problems, and for that, we need to take inspiration from others. It’s a good approach to do research and find out what other people are trying to solve by following UI/UX methods.
Behance and Medium are the best resources for UX case studies. In Medium, UX researchers describe their procedures more theoretically to solve a particular problem, and in Behance, an individual or team shares their UX processes more visually.
I searched Medium and found various UX case studies, and I picked 7 interesting problems, which can be good for inspiration.
- Hints: an app that cares about your mental health — UI/UX case study
- Productivity Tracker App — Small UI/UX Case Study
- Helping travelers plan trips with ease using crowdsourced itineraries — UI/UX Case Study
- Medical Reminder — UI/UX case study
- Booking Ambulances is Just a Swipe Away: a UI/UX Case Study
- “E-milk”- a milk delivery app (UI/UX case study)
- UI/UX Case study: My Car parking
Behance is a great platform to showcase UX case studies more graphically. Below, I picked 7 interesting case studies from Behance for inspiration.
- Job Seeker Mob App
- Co-living app
- Event sharing app
- Mobile Banking App Design
- Finance Management App
- NFT Marketplace
- Food Ordering App
Now you will get an initial idea of the problems people are working with. You may find a gap in their existing case studies and propose a solution, or you can come up with another idea for a new problem.
Happy problem-solving.
