Interaction & UX
If you’re jumping straight into Figma without clearly defining the problem…
You’re not doing UX.
You’re decorating.
In this episode, we break down why defining the right problem is the foundation of great UX design — and why most beginners fail at this stage.
This is not about trends.
Not about tools.
Not about UI aesthetics.
This is about thinking.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
What a UX Problem Statement actually is
The exact formula for writing a strong problem statement
Why “Redesign the homepage” is NOT a real problem
How “How Might We” (HMW) sessions unlock better ideation
Red flags that you’re solving the wrong problem
How AI can speed up research synthesis (without replacing empathy)
The real-world UX workflow used in product teams
The Core Formula We Discuss:
[User] struggles with [pain] because [cause] → leading to [impact]
If your problem statement doesn’t include:
• The user
• The reason
• The measurable impact
It’s incomplete.
We Also Cover:
Business goals vs User problems
Stakeholder workshops & discovery phase
UX research methods (interviews, surveys, analytics)
Affinity mapping & AI-assisted clustering
HMW (How Might We) frameworks
Validation through usability testing
Tools Mentioned:
• FigJam
• ChatGPT
• Maze
But remember — tools support thinking.
They don’t replace it.
Who Is This Episode For?
• UX beginners confused about where to start
• UI designers transitioning into UX
• Students building case studies
• Designers preparing for interviews
• Product teams solving the wrong problems
If you want to become a UX thinker, not just a UI maker — this episode is for you.
Why This Matters
Wrong problem = guaranteed design failure.
Great UX doesn’t start with wireframes.
It starts with clarity.
