Concept:

Learn how to spot the difference between real design problems and surface-level symptoms.

Objective:

To help you shift from fixing what’s broken to defining what should exist — so your UX work is intentional, strategic, and not patchwork.

Time Required:

20–25 minutes

🔍 Why You Should Do This

Are you someone who:

• Writes UX problems like “user skips onboarding” or “user feels bored” and jumps straight to solutions?
• Feels stuck in surface-level case studies that don’t show deep thinking?

This drill helps you stop that cycle. You’ll learn to zoom out, understand what experience the user should be having, and define the problem from that lens.

🧠 What You’ll Learn by Doing This

• How to tell the difference between a design symptom and a true design problem
• Why most “UX issues” are actually signs of missing intentional experiences
• How to reframe shallow problem statements into meaningful design challenges
• The mindset that makes your UX case studies 10x deeper and more hire-worthy
