Use when planning or running user interviews, building personas or JTBD job stories, designing a competitive audit, synthesizing research data, or framing insights and How-Might-We questions for ideation.
Use when writing or auditing UI copy — button labels, error messages, empty states, onboarding flows, confirmation dialogs, tooltips, success toasts — or when establishing voice and tone documentation for a product.
Use when designing or coding a new interface that needs a distinctive aesthetic direction, when reviewing visuals for hierarchy/brand alignment, or when an existing UI feels generic ("AI slop") and needs production-grade visual polish.
Use when sketching a new screen before visual design, when restructuring an existing page's content priority, when validating layout feasibility with engineering, or when communicating responsive behavior across breakpoints.
Creative user persona discovery through ideation and exploration. Use for open-ended brainstorming sessions to elucidate and reveal user personas for cultural probes in research through design. This is useful for settings for thinking about a range of user…
