Written Works
I enjoy writing the occasional article or linkedin post on topics such as AI in UX research, the relationship between design & agile, and how designers can be more productive and more effective at the same time. You can find my thoughts on LinkedIn and Medium.
Talks
Dark Mode is Wrong: Busting UX Myths
Venue: PUSHUX — Munich
The original title of this talk was “Dark Mode is Bullshit,” but after examining 40 years of dark mode related academic research, I felt it was best to focus on how design needs to challenge its foundational principles more often.
The Balanced Team
Context: A Vmware Tanzu Labs (previously Pivotal Labs) talk to discuss the balanced team/product trio concept and why having each discipline co-lead a project leads to the best outcomes.
Design AI is a Myth: The Danger of Paper Tigers
Venue: PUSHUX (return invitation)
A talk that breaks down how LLMs work, what their limitations are, and how they will never replace the need for designers. The tools are changing, but the thinking isn’t.
