In this 12th episode, our host Ingo talked with Nimisha Vijay, UX and UI Designer at Nextcloud. Find more about UX Design, in general, and Nimisha’s experience as a designer at Nextcloud!

UX Design is more about how usable and intuitive a piece of software is. Making it optimized for usability is sort of what we do. Consistency in design is very important, especially when you have a lot of apps, shared Nimisha.

How people perceive a piece of software is a very interesting thing to me and that’s how I got interested in design. I think the best way to learn Design is just to make things and get feedback on them. I’ve learned the most after I started contributing to Nextcloud and getting feedback for my work. I value open source and the culture, idea and philosophy behind it.

Nimisha originally applied for a mentorship program in design, and you can find more information about it here.
