Three tips: Record the interactions (you, and with test subjects too). You’ll see more things. Study competing UIs. Consciously reverse engineer their UIs. Don't know what you like but get the idea: - PhotoShop vs Gimp - Maya vs Blender - Excel vs Numbers - FCP vs Premier vs Resolve - Finder vs Explorer Watch youtubers using them. For example, music composers have very interesting and different programs UI-wise. Or DJs, which need interfaces for live-performance. Then give it a twist and use not directly competing programs that can be used for a similar goal. For example, for UI design: - Figma vs Illustrator vs Inkscape vs PowerPoint vs PhotoShop vs Word vs Excel vs plain text
