The 3 P's of Measuring UX
Dear Reader,
With every passing day, measuring the user experience is easier.
A slew of AI-assisted tools are emerging that allow you to dive deeper into the psyche of your users.
Before you jump on the latest tool, you might want to stop and figure out your measuring goal.
Here are some common questions:
- How do I measure how one design performs over another?
- How do I know if users prefer one design over another?
- How do I know if users perceive a design as trustworthy?
Behind these questions is a different measuring goal that requires different methodologies.
Knowing your goal will make choosing UX methods, metrics, and sample sizes much easier.
I just published a long-form guide to measuring the user experience that can break down this gargantuan task with a simple framework.
This framework is how I teach quantitative research and UX metrics to our product experiments students. It's an effective way to simplify the gargantuan task of measuring UX.
If you often wonder if you've chosen the right UX method for a project, this article is for you.

After years of R&D, Apple finally released their AR/VR device at Apple's WWDC23. Tim Cook definitely tried to sell it as an iPhone-esque moment, but will people really go for this $3499 device?
This device straddles AR and VR categories with an immersive yet interruptible user experience. Many who got a demo say the experience is far better than they expected, especially the eye-tracking and clicking gestures. Is this thing a shining example of the future of UX or an isolating creepy toy for rich people?

When Frameworks Fail and Gut Feelings Take Over By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, You know that moment when the data looks clear, the framework is airtight, and yet something in your stomach says, don’t do it? That’s judgment, the quiet, inconvenient voice that shows up when the evidence has already spoken. It’s also the thing most of us struggle to explain, even though our careers depend on it. Businesses love reasoning. We build frameworks to make decisions look rational, dashboards to make them...

It’s that time of year again, when we’re forced to stop nudging rectangles long enough to remember Halloween exists, and suddenly we need a costume tonight. But fear not! While normal humans panic-buy cat ears from a drugstore, we designers do what we do best: turn our professional pain into content. Here are 9 last-minute costumes for brave designers. 1. UX...
Before The Fountain Institute, there was Art School Dropout By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, In spring 2020, when the world had just gone remote, we ran a tiny experiment called Art School Dropout. It wasn’t about UX or product design. We didn’t even know that’s where we’d end up focusing yet. It was about exploring the overlap between art and design, and figuring out how to make learning online feel human, creative, and social. We weren’t thinking about building a business yet. We were just...
