Angielski dla UX Designera — user research, prototypy i design review po angielsku

Na design review z PM z Berlina — i musisz obronić swoje decyzje po angielsku

Na design review z Product Managerem z Berlina musisz po angielsku obronić decyzje projektowe, wyjaśnić wyniki user research i wytłumaczyć, dlaczego Twój wireframe rozwiązuje problem lepiej niż propozycja stakeholdera — i zrobić to bez utraty wiarygodności.

Angielski przestał być „miłym dodatkiem" w branży UX. Metodologie, narzędzia, konferencje, case studies i oferty pracy z całego świata — wszystkie operują tym samym językiem. Z tego artykułu skorzystają: UX Designer, UI Designer, Product Designer, UX Researcher, Interaction Designer i Design Lead — wszyscy, którzy projektują produkty cyfrowe we współpracy z międzynarodowymi teamami.

Scenariusze komunikacji

a) Design review — prezentacja rozwiązania — 8 zwrotów

• "This layout is based on three usability tests with our target users — 8 out of 10 completed the task without assistance."
• "I'd like to walk you through the user journey before we look at individual screens."
• "The navigation follows the mental model we identified in the research — users look for this feature under 'Settings', not 'Profile'."
• "The colour contrast here meets WCAG AA accessibility standards — that was a hard requirement."
• "I've kept the cognitive load low by splitting this into two steps rather than one long form."
• "This is a high-fidelity mockup — components are all from the existing design system, so no new development effort is needed."
• "The prototype is clickable — do you want to try the flow yourself before we continue?"
• "I can share the Figma link after the review so you can explore the annotations at your own pace."

b) Obrona decyzji projektowych — 6 zwrotów

• "I understand the request to add more features here, but the cognitive load would increase significantly — let me show you the test results."
• "The research showed that users in this context are task-focused — they want to complete the action quickly, not explore."
• "I hear the feedback, and I'd like to propose a compromise: we can add that feature as a secondary option, not the primary one."
• "This decision is rooted in the JTBD framework — the user's job here is speed, not comprehensiveness."
• "If we add this, we risk breaking the mental model for the 80% of users who don't need it."
• "I'm happy to test both versions — a quick A/B test would give us data rather than opinions."

c) Handoff do deweloperów — 6 zwrotów

• "The Figma file has been annotated with all interaction states — hover, focus, error and disabled. Please flag anything unclear before you start building."
• "All assets are exported and named according to our convention — you'll find them in the 'Exports' page."
• "If a component isn't in the design system yet, I've marked it in orange — we need to align before you start building it."
• "The red-line file has all spacing and sizing values — please don't estimate from the mockup visually."
• "The loading and empty states are on the second page of the Figma file — please make sure they're implemented."
• "I'm available for a handoff walkthrough if you want to go through the interactions together."

Krótki dialog — UX Designer broni decyzji przed stakeholderem

Słownictwo Figma i design tools — 6 zwrotów

• "The component library is in the shared Figma workspace — please use the Design System page, not the archived frames."
• "I've created a variant for each interactive state — you'll see them in the component panel on the right."
• "The auto-layout is set up so that the component scales correctly across all breakpoints."
• "I've left comments directly on the Figma frames — please resolve each one once you've addressed it."
• "The prototype flow is linked — press Play and it'll walk you through the entire onboarding journey."
• "Please don't detach the components — if you need a custom version, let me know and I'll create a new variant."

Najczęstsze błędy Polaków

1. „UX" — wymowa: litery U-X /ˌjuː ˈeks/, nie słowo. UX to skrót wymawiany jako dwie litery. To samo dotyczy UI: /ˌjuː ˈaɪ/. ✅ "I'm a U-X designer working on a mobile U-I."

2. „make a prototype" → „build / create a prototype" lub „prototype the flow". ❌ "I made a prototype." → ✅ "I built a prototype." / "I prototyped the onboarding flow."

3. „wireframe" — wymowa /ˈwaɪərfreɪm/, nie przez polskie „w". Angielskie „w" to /w/ jak w „wine". Poprawna wymowa: /ˈwaɪərfreɪm/ — „łajerfrejm". ✅ Powiedz na głos: "wire" jak "why-er".

4. „user" vs „customer" — dwa różne pojęcia w UX. User to osoba korzystająca z produktu, customer to nabywca. ✅ W kontekście produktowym zawsze mów user needs, nie customer needs, chyba że masz na myśli potrzeby zakupowe.

5. „feedback" — rzeczownik niepoliczalny. ❌ "Can you give me a feedback?" → ✅ "Can you give me some feedback?" / "Do you have any feedback?"
