Charles Tsui and I had the opportunity to speak at Appian World 2024 in Washington, DC. We discussed how creativity and artistry are important ingredients in building appealing UIs. But, a robust design methodology can more reliably deliver great results by leveraging research-based best practices. In this session, we shared our proven approach that Appian’s UX experts follow to produce consistent, beautiful, and usable application experiences. By mixing and matching curated building blocks to generate your own custom design system, you can reduce development time while putting amazing UIs well within reach.
