    The Power of Personas in Design

    The Power of Personas in Design

    Personas are incredible design tools. They help us:

    👤 Better understand our ideal customers or users

    🎯 Target ads, copy, and images to the right audience

    🧐 Conduct research and iterate to refine who we're going after



    By creating personas, we start a process of research that gets better with testing and iteration.

    Swim lanes are a design methodology

    Swim lanes are a design methodology

    They aren't just for swimming pools. 🏊‍♀️

    🤔 They're a great tool to understand processes and connections over time and use cases

    🔍 By mapping out different steps and crossing over between lanes, you can see the journey, touch points, and overlaps in one diagram

    💬 Use the swim lanes to drive discussions and inform business cases, like new product launches
