I speak publicly about issues that affect the product and UX design communities, and I am open to speaking and workshop opportunities. I also write down my thoughts about design on linkedin and medium.
I went through 40 years of dark mode research to learn more about the value it brings to our users, and discovered what the UX community had been missing - that it's kind of a made up idea with no evidence backing it up.
I gave this talk at PUSHUX in Munich.
At vmware it was joked that I was a “walking practice talk,” as I constantly evangelized our values and regularly gave talks on how to be a more productive designer.
In this discussion that was used to recruit talent, myself and my colleagues talk about the benefits and importance of the ‘balanced team’ concept.
I was invited back to speak at PUSHUX again.
Since the launch of ChatGPT and Dall E, designers have been terrified that GenAI is coming for their jobs. In this talk I break down how the technology works, its limitations, and how designers can start approaching AI.
