Personas have been a staple of UX deliverables for a long time. But the big problem with personas today is that they’re hard to digest, so people don’t use them. If people don’t reference your personas, you’ve made a deliverable that’s useless to others.
The point of making personas is to share research findings with people on your project so they can relate to the user and their needs. Those people aren’t versed in UX and need personas they can reference. If your personas aren’t easy to reference, your team is more likely to make bad UX decisions.
Introducing Persona Patterns
It’s your duty as the UX designer to evangelize the user’s goals, needs, and behavior patterns to your team. Personas Patterns are ready-made, custom-designed templates for doing this. They are an evolved version of traditional personas that cuts the fat off them so that people can focus on the meat.
Turn your personas from this…
To this…
No more text overloads, stock photos, demographic minutia, or chart junk. Just the essentials—context, user goals, frustrations and satisfactions.
When you deliver a Persona Pattern to your team, they’ll be able to reference your persona easier than before. The layout is scannable and in a mobile size display for quick referencing at meetings.
