If you haven’t read my previous posts in this series, you might find the other parts interesting: Working as a UX-designer and Working as a UX-lead. Both of those came from reader questions and this is, I guess, a follow-up to that follow-up. Anyway, a couple of weeks back, I…

Over the last few months, I’ve been doing less designing and more… talking. Except, talking isn’t quite right because, in order to do my work correctly, it’s the opposite of talking — it’s listening. You see, in order to design the right thing — in the right way — you’ll…

Guilty song confession time: when I’m out driving, I like to listen to the song “What am I” by Why Don’t We. It’s catchy, easy to sing along to, and good for driving fast. These are the three things I want from a good car tune. I know what you’re…
