Training UX writers at Spotify.

Experience Haus worked with the UX writing team to design and deliver a training program that would empower UX writers across key cities with the essential skills to master Figma. This practical program was meticulously crafted to address the growing need for UX writers to seamlessly integrate with design teams, utilise design systems effectively, and build rapid prototypes for testing purposes.

THE TASK

The primary objective of the program was to equip UX writers with a comprehensive understanding of Figma, enabling them to harness its power for efficient collaboration, streamlined workflows, and impactful design outcomes. Participants were tasked with mastering advanced elements of Figma to facilitate the creation of rapid prototypes within the context of Spotify’s design ecosystem.

ACTIONS

Experience Haus, in close collaboration with the Spotify team, developed a dynamic curriculum consisting of three fully virtual and live workshops. These workshops were designed to provide participants with hands-on experience and practical insights into leveraging Figma effectively within the Spotify design framework. Key actions undertaken during the program included:

– Designing a tailored curriculum that catered specifically to the needs of UX writers, focusing on the integration of Figma with design systems and rapid prototyping techniques.

– Collaborating closely with Spotify experts to ensure alignment with their design philosophy and extensive use of the Spotify design system throughout the program.

– Building a dedicated Figma playground environment where participants could apply their learnings in a practical setting, fostering experimentation and innovation.

– Delivering interactive workshops led by Experience Haus professionals, covering advanced features of Figma, collaborative design workflows, and best practices for integrating with design systems.

THE OUTCOME

As a result of the program, participants emerged with a thorough understanding of Figma and its advanced functionalities, equipped with the skills to:

– Utilise Figma as a powerful tool for rapid prototyping, enabling them to iterate on designs quickly and effectively.

– Seamlessly collaborate with design teams within the Spotify ecosystem, leveraging the Spotify design system to maintain consistency and scalability.

– Apply design principles and best practices to create user-centric experiences that align with Spotify’s brand identity and design standards.

– Utilise the Figma playground environment to experiment, innovate, and further enhance their proficiency in using Figma for UX writing purposes.

Overall, the program empowered UX writers with the essential skills and knowledge to leverage Figma effectively within the Spotify design ecosystem, ultimately enhancing their productivity, collaboration, and impact within their respective roles.
