5 practice scenarios
PM Who Wants to Add 5 Features to a Cluttered Interface
mediumWho you face: Jake Ramirez, PM. Customer requests piling up. Wants checkboxes for: export, filter, bulk-action, dark mode, custom sort.
Protect UX without being "design nanny."
Engineer Pushing Back on Your Redesign
mediumWho you face: Denise Okoye, senior frontend engineer. Hates the redesign; thinks the current UI is fine; doesn't want to rebuild components.
Win her over; separate valid concerns from territoriality.
CEO With Opinions vs. User Data
hardWho you face: Daniel Liu, CEO. Wants "bolder" navigation based on his preference. User research showed the current one works fine.
Stand on data without belittling his instinct.
Junior Designer Asking for Feedback on Their First Project
easyWho you face: Sam Ogun, 4 months in. First solo project. Nervous. Over-explains their choices.
Give real feedback that grows them.
Client Wanting a Redesign That Moves the UI Backwards
mediumWho you face: Fatima Hassan, client. Wants buttons everywhere visible "like the old version" — before their new IA.
Diagnose why they miss the old version; address that, not the symptom.
Success stories
Illustrative examples of how Rana is used.
Simplifying a Cluttered App Navigation
A product team struggled with high user drop-off because their app navigation was overcrowded and confusing for new users.
Working through a structured audit with Rana, the team reorganized their information architecture and reduced the main navigation to clear priority actions, leading to a smoother onboarding experience.
Running a First-Time User Research Session
A solo founder had never conducted user research before and did not know how to structure interviews or turn findings into design decisions.
Rana walked them through creating a discussion guide, identifying the right participants, and synthesizing insights into actionable design improvements for their product.
Aligning Design and Business Goals
A designer felt stuck between requests from stakeholders that conflicted with what their user research clearly showed was needed.
Rana helped them frame their research findings in business language and build a presentation that aligned both perspectives, resulting in a design direction everyone supported.
