Podcasts about ux design

Anfisa Bogomolova, a product designer and the host of Honest UX Talks, reflects on how AI is dissolving the boundaries between UX design and UX research. She explains how role expectations are shifting and what role she expects UX researchers to play in the future. She also muses on the form of future collaboration between UX research and design roles and gives wonderful advice for junior UX folks. 

Depuis quelques mois, j'entends de plus en plus cette phrase chez des designers expérimentés :“Je crois que je n'ai plus envie de faire ce métier.”Dans cet épisode, je te parle d'Élodie, UX Designer Senior dans depuis 17 ans, et de Xavier, UI Designer Senior qui commence sérieusement à regarder des métiers complètement différents du design.Parce qu'aujourd'hui, beaucoup de designers seniors ne sont pas juste fatigués.Le vrai sujet est souvent beaucoup plus profond.Dans cet épisode, je t'explique :pourquoi certains designers commencent progressivement à décrocher émotionnellementce qui use mentalement après 10 ou 15 ans de métierpourquoi certains ne se reconnaissent plus dans leur manière actuelle de travaillerpourquoi les changements du marché créent autant d'anxiétéet pourquoi beaucoup de designers n'ont jamais vraiment pris le temps de se demander ce qu'ils veulent encore construire aujourd'huiJe parle aussi de Clément, qui est arrivé dans l'accompagnement complètement vidé, et de la manière dont il a progressivement retrouvé une direction plus claire.À la fin de l'épisode, je vais aussi partager une idée importante : parfois, le problème n'est pas le métier … mais le contexte dans lequel tu l'exerces depuis trop longtemps.Ce que tu vas comprendre dans cet épisode : Pourquoi certains designers seniors perdent progressivement le lien avec leur métierCe qui fatigue profondément après plusieurs années dans le design produitPourquoi beaucoup continuent “en automatique”Pourquoi certains regardent des métiers totalement différentsCe qui crée aujourd'hui autant de fatigue mentale dans les équipes designEt pourquoi reprendre du recul devient indispensable après plusieurs années de métier.Aujourd'hui, les vraies questions sont :est-ce que tu es encore connecté à ce que tu fais ?est-ce que tu continues par envie … ou seulement par habitude ?dans quels contextes tu ne veux plus travailler ?qu'est-ce que tu aimerais encore défendre aujourd'hui dans ton métier ?Si tu t'es reconnu dans cet épisode, ne reste pas seul avec ça.Je propose des accompagnements pour t'aider à débloquer concrètement ton portfolio et ta recherche.Contacte-moi en DM sur Linkedin : ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurentgallen/⁠UX Design, UI Design, Product Design, Designer Senior, Carrière Designer, Fatigue professionnelle, Recherche emploi UX, UX Podcast, Podcast Design, Design+, Laurent Gallen, UX Career, Product Designer, UI Designer, UX Designer, Design Leadership, Repositionnement professionnel, Burnout, Designer, Recherche emploi, Design carrière, LinkedIn DesignerDesign + est le podcast pour tous les designers UX, UI et Product.Dans la saison 12, on remet les pendules à l'heure sur ta carrière, sur ton positionnement et ton rapport au travail.

Tu décroches des entretiens. Parfois même plusieurs.Ton portfolio fonctionne.Ton CV fonctionne.Ton profil LinkedIn fonctionne.Et pourtant … tu ne signes aucun contrat ! Dans cet épisode, je te parle de Claire, Senior Product Designer avec 8 ans de métier et de Mehdi, UX Researcher Senior depuis 15 ans.Tous les deux arrivent jusqu'aux entretiens.Tous les deux avancent dans les process.Mais au final :des refusdes silenceou “on a choisi un autre profil”.Parce qu'aujourd'hui, beaucoup de designers seniors ne bloquent plus au niveau des candidatures.Le vrai problème arrive après.Dans cet épisode, je t'explique :pourquoi certains designers “passent les filtres”… mais ne transforment jamaisce que les refus répétés changent progressivement mentalementpourquoi certains deviennent plus lisses au fil des entretienspourquoi les entreprises cherchent davantage qu'une liste de compétenceset pourquoi beaucoup de designers racontent ce qu'ils ont fait … sans montrer ce qu'ils proposent réellementÀ la fin de l'épisode, je vais aussi expliquer pourquoi les techniques d'entretien ne règlent pas toujours le vrai problème.Et je t'explique aussi : Pourquoi les refus répétés modifient progressivement ton comportementPourquoi certains designers expérimentés deviennent trop scolaires en entretienPourquoi parler uniquement du passé ne suffit plusCe que les entreprises essaient réellement de ressentir pendant un échangePourquoi la projection humaine devient essentielle aujourd'huiEt pourquoi le vrai blocage est parfois beaucoup plus profond qu'un simple problème de portfolioAujourd'hui :est-ce que tu racontes vraiment qui tu es … ou seulement ce que tu as fait ?est-ce que les refus commencent à modifier ta manière de parler ?est-ce que tu cherches encore à convaincre… ou est-ce que tu essayes surtout d'éviter l'erreur ?est-ce qu'une entreprise arrive réellement à se projeter avec toi ?Si tu t'es reconnu dans cet épisode, ne reste pas seul avec ça.Je propose des accompagnements pour t'aider à débloquer concrètement ton portfolio et ta recherche d'emploi.

What do you do when you want to drive human-centered change inside your organization, but you don't have the formal authority, you don't hold the budget, and you don't even have the official job title?To dive deeper into this strategy, I sat down with Max Seabrooke and Jennifer Kitchen.According to them, you stop asking for corporate permission and start getting a little bit sneaky. We step away from perfectly polished frameworks to look at the raw, political reality of practicing "undercover influence" from the inside out.In this episode, you will learn:How to quietly embed user-centric design into your organization without triggering corporate resistance or using confusing industry jargon.Why slowly building a toolkit of data on top of your company's existing expertise wins over skeptical executives.How to figure out exactly how other siloed teams measure their own success so you can align your project to their metrics.Why avoiding friction inside your team can quietly destroy project alignment and sabotage quality.So, if you want to hear raw, practical insights from professionals who are in the trenches every single day, you'll really like enjoy this one!I'm curious, if you don't have the official "Service Designer" title, what does your email signature currently say? Let me know.Enjoy the episode and keep making a positive impact.Be well, ~ Marc--- [ 1.

Angie King went from contractor to VP of UX Design at US Bank in five years — not because she had all the answers, but because she was the person in the room asking the right questions. She's now the content strategy manager at Mayo Clinic, where she's putting the ORCA framework to work on one of the most complex content systems in healthcare.In this episode of The UX Level-Up Podcast, Sophia and Angie get into what it actually looks like when a veteran content strategist finds a framework that finally clicks — and why Angie believes it's not just career-changing, but field-changing. If you've ever felt like the smartest person in a conversation but struggled to explain why something was off, this episode is for you.LINKS:Register for Angie's Button Conference Talk: https://www.buttonevents.com/2026-sessions/object-oriented-ux-a-content-first-approach-to-meaningful-content-designConnect with Angie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angieking/Continue the conversation in the OOUX Forum:Connect with Sophia on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophiav/Follow Sophia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sophiavux/Check out the OOUX Website: https://ooux.comFollow Sophia on Medium: https://sophiavux.medium.comInterested in training your team on OOUX?

Augustin Ory est un repeat entrepreneur hors pair. Il a déjà réalisé plusieurs exits réussies, notamment dans l'univers AdTech. Aujourd'hui à la tête de son startup studio, il développe des Apps avec sa team et développe son offre, avec un génie d'une finesse inégalée. Cet épisode respire les bonnes ondes et la Passion pour la construction de produits. A/B Testing, UX Design, Gamification...de nombreux sujets clés pour opérer ce business model.

L'accessibilité… On pense souvent que c'est pour améliorer le confort d'une minorité de personnes. On évoque souvent le handicap visible. Et on commence généralement par traiter l'aspect visuel — ou même UNIQUEMENT traiter l'aspect visuel. On peut aussi penser que seul le code peut améliorer l'accessibilité.Mais, c'est oublier deux points importants.Le premier point : on oublie pas mal de personnes.Toutes les personnes qui ont un handicap invisible : la dyslexie, la dyscalculie, l'autisme, les troubles de l'attention comme le TDAH et bien d'autres…Toutes les personnes qui ont un handicap ponctuel — comme une migraine.Et les personnes qui sont fatiguées, stressées, distraites ou qui sont dans un environnement bruyant. Les moments où… juste comprendre une interface devient compliqué. Et oui, ça vous est déjà arrivé. Le cerveau qui dit stop, on l'a tous et toutes vécu.Je parle là d'accessibilité cognitive. Ce n'est pas un sujet de niche. Ce n'est pas une case à cocher dans un audit. C'est un enjeu quotidien — pour tout le monde.Deuxième point : on ne pense pas vraiment au contenu écrit comme levier d'accessibilité. Et, malheureusement, aucun référentiel ne parle de bonnes pratiques de contenu.Aujourd'hui, j'ai le plaisir de recevoir une UX writer, spécialisée en accessibilité : Alice Pagès.Ensemble, nous parlons de ce qui crée vraiment de la surcharge cognitive.Est-ce que ce que je conçois est compréhensible — vraiment compréhensible ?Est-ce que ça guide, ou est-ce que ça fatigue ?Est-ce que ça aide à décider… ou est-ce que ça ajoute du bruit ?Bien sûr, Alice vous donne plusieurs bonnes pratiques pour améliorer l'accessibilité cognitive. Des bonnes pratiques que vous pouvez intégrer demain, en moins de 15 minutes.Spoiler : faire du (bon) Content design, c'est déjà faire de l'accessibilité.Bonne écoute !--L'épisode est aussi accessible en format écrit sur ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠le ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠site de Lorem UX writing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Human-Centered Design in the Age of AI: Strategic UX Insights with Thomas WatkinsIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Thomas Watkins, the Principal and Founder of 3leaf consulting, to discuss the evolving intersection of artificial intelligence and digital product design. While AI tools have significantly lowered the barrier to entry for building apps and websites, Thomas argues that the ease of creation has made the need for intentional, human-centered design more critical than ever. Their conversation explores how founders can move beyond the "surface-level polish" of AI-generated products to build digital experiences that truly resonate with users and drive long-term business value.Beyond the Prompt: Why AI Alone Can't Solve the User ExperienceThe primary challenge for modern founders is no longer the speed of development, but the quality of the "emotional arc" within their digital products. Thomas Watkins explains that while AI is incredibly efficient at assembling known widgets and layouts screen-by-screen, it fundamentally lacks the contextual empathy required to understand a holistic user journey. An AI-generated interface may look professional, but without human intervention, it often fails to anticipate user frustrations or provide the flexible guidance needed during unexpected scenarios. This gap between a "functional" app and a "delightful" one is where human-centered design becomes the ultimate competitive advantage, ensuring that a product doesn't just exist, but actually works for its audience.To achieve a higher standard of digital excellence, teams must redefine what "finished" looks like in an AI-native world. According to Thomas, a product is not complete simply because it is launched; it is complete when it speaks the user's language and removes every possible point of friction between the user and their primary goal. Founders often fall into the trap of feature-rich complexity, believing that more options lead to more value, when in reality, users are seeking clarity and flow. By prioritizing a "first-click" instinct and conducting regular usability sessions, organizations can ensure that their technology remains an empowering tool rather than a confusing obstacle.The future of successful product development lies in a collaborative model where AI handles the repetitive boilerplate tasks, freeing up human designers to focus on high-level strategy and creative nuance. Thomas emphasizes that the most successful digital products—from global platforms like Slack to niche startups—are those that treat user experience as a living system. This means launching early to gather qualitative feedback and being willing to simplify or iterate based on actual user behavior rather than internal assumptions. When founders balance the efficiency of AI with the deep insight of a UX expert, they create products that make users feel understood, eventually leading to higher retention and brand loyalty.About Thomas WatkinsThomas Watkins is the Principal and Founder of 3leaf consulting and a seasoned expert in the field of User Experience (UX) and product strategy. With a background in psychology and technology, Thomas specializes in helping organizations bridge the gap between complex technical requirements and intuitive human behavior. He is a frequent speaker on the ethical and practical applications of AI in design and is dedicated to helping founders build products that are as functional as they are impactful.About 3Leaf Consulting3Leaf Consulting is a boutique design and strategy firm that focuses on human-centered solutions for digital products. The company partners with startups and established enterprises to transform technical concepts into seamless user experiences. Through a combination of user research, strategic wireframing, and iterative testing, 3leaf consulting ensures that digital products are optimized for both user satisfaction and business growth.Links Mentioned in This Episode3Leaf Consulting Official Website: https://3leaf.consulting/Thomas Watkins on LinkedIn: Connect with ThomasKey Episode HighlightsThe Speed Paradox: Why the ability to launch products faster through AI makes deep user experience (UX) research more important for differentiation.The "Finished" Definition: Shifting the perspective from surface-level polish to functional, friction-free user journeys.Simplification for Success: A case study on how removing features and focusing on the user's primary goal can drastically improve engagement.AI as a Tool, Not a Crutch: How to leverage AI for boilerplate tasks while maintaining human oversight for the emotional and strategic arcs of a product.Qualitative Feedback Loops: The importance of watching real users interact with your product to uncover pain points that data alone cannot see.ConclusionThe conversation with Thomas Watkins reinforces that while AI can compose the notes of a digital product, it takes human insight to conduct the symphony. By prioritizing empathy, clarity, and flow, founders can ensure their digital tools stand out in an increasingly automated marketplace.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

What if websites could understand how you feel?In this episode of Future of UX, Patricia talks with Sebastian, Director of UX Design at Virtual Identity, about a concept that could fundamentally change how we design digital experiences: the Empathic Web.Instead of static interfaces that look the same for every user, the empathic web describes a future where digital products can adapt to a user's emotional state in real time. Interfaces, tone of voice, information density, and even entire user journeys could dynamically change depending on whether someone feels stressed, curious, overwhelmed, or motivated.Sebastian shares how advances in AI, behavioral signals, and new interaction models might make this possible and what it means for designers.The conversation also explores the growing role of AI agents in digital products and why designers might soon have to design not only for humans but also for autonomous systems interacting with our products.At the same time, this shift raises important ethical questions. If systems can detect emotions, how should companies use that information responsibly? Where is the line between helpful personalization and manipulation?This episode is a deep dive into the future of UX and how AI could transform the way digital experiences are designed.✨ What the Empathic Web is and why it matters✨ How AI could detect emotions through signals like mouse movement, voice, and interaction patterns✨ Why digital experiences may become dynamic instead of static✨ How designers might start designing for emotional states across the user journey✨ What Agentic UX means and why AI agents will change product design✨ How websites may need to become agent friendly and machine readable✨ Ethical questions around emotional data and manipulation✨ Why learning experiences could be a perfect use case for empathic interfacesSebastian is Director of UX Design at Virtual Identity, a digital agency working across Munich, Freiburg, Vienna, and Porto.Before returning to industry, he spent years in academia as a Professor of Design Management in Berlin, researching the intersection of design, technology, and culture.His current work focuses on the future of UX in an AI driven world, including topics like the Empathic Web, Agentic UX, and AI powered digital experiences.Connect with Sebastian: LinkedInAI for Designers: 5-week Bootcamp

Across the globe, radiology departments are grappling with a paradox: imaging volumes are climbing while the trained workforce needed to operate scanners is shrinking. Using AI-driven tools, a drive towards fully-automated radiology promises faster diagnoses, greater diagnostic accuracy, and more efficient workflows, improving both the patient and clinician experience. It is rapidly transforming the way medical imaging is performed, analyzed, and integrated into imaging workflows. The success of this development relies strongly on intuitive and impactful user experience, or UX, design. Effective UX is integral to ensuring that patients and clinicians can use smart healthcare systems in ways that maintain safety and integrity and enhance user experience. The question is no longer whether higher levels of automation will play a role in radiology — it's how quickly, and where to begin.Today, host Iwona Markuszewska welcomes Dr. Shivakumar Swamy S, Head and Director of the Radiology Department and Clinical Director of the Department of Radiomics and Radiogenomics at HCG Cancer care in Bangalore, India; Dr. Yair Safriel, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer at Pharmascan and MEC Chair of Radiology at Morton Plant Hospital Association in Clearwater, Florida; and Ralf Bauer, radiologist and partner at RNS joint practice in Wiesbaden, Germany, to examine the future of automation in radiology.What you'll learn in this episode: Rising imaging demand, an aging population, and lack of trained technologists have pushed the radiology system to its breaking pointHow higher levels of automation can ease this challenge and which types of exams may be the easiest entry point to introducing higher levels of automation in imaging operationsAutomation starts way before image acquisition and can be implemented easily as early as in the patient check-in processPatient trust and ease of use are of utmost importance for any automation in radiology is to be widely implemented Automation will make it easier for healthcare professionals to spend more time with patients and with more complex, time-intensive cases Connect with Iwona MarkuszewskaLinkedInDr. Shivakumar Swamy S LinkedInDr. Yair Safriel LinkedIn Dr. Ralf BauerLinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

For the past 15 years, ecommerce has optimized for frictionless transactions - removing clicks, reducing pauses, and accelerating checkout.That strategy worked and drove massive scale. But we're now seeing a shift.What if, in eliminating bad friction, we also removed the good friction - the moments that build confidence and reduce regret?This is the Friction Paradox.Instead of optimizing for speed to buy, the next evolution optimizes for speed to certainty - helping customers feel confident in their decision, not just complete them faster.So how do we design experiences that increase trust, lower returns, and drive long-term retention - especially in the age of AI-assisted shopping?With leadership experience at global scale, Karishma Damani, Director of Product Management at Walmart, shares her perspective on:- why frictionless isn't always better- how to design for customer confidence, not just conversion- what Intentional Commerce means in an AI-driven world- why agents will evaluate your brand differently than usersHosted by Tomasz Grynkiewicz, Head of Growth at NetguruDo you have any questions?

Leonardo Giusti has spent his career in the spaces between disciplines — between art and science, between research and product, between the physical world and the digital one. It's not a conventional design path, but it's one that led him to work most designers never get near. This is a preview of a premium episode. Find the full episode on our Substack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/leonardo-giusti Leonardo is the co-founder and Chief Design Officer of Archetype AI, a company building foundation models trained not on text or images, but on the continuous stream of sensor data flowing from the real world, like factories, power grids, and city intersections. Before that, he spent nearly seven years at Google's Advanced Technology and Projects group, where he led design on Project Soli — a miniature radar chip that taught devices to understand human gesture and presence — and Project Jacquard, which wove interactivity into everyday objects like Levi's jackets and YSL bags. He holds a Ph.D. in human-computer interaction from the University of Florence and spent years as a postdoctoral researcher at MIT's Design Lab. He's also filed more than 30 patents (!). What makes Leonardo's thinking distinctive is his insistence that the metaphors we use to describe AI shape everything — how we build it, how we regulate it, and who it ends up serving. He's skeptical of the dominant vision of AI as an autonomous agent that does things for us, and is pushing toward something different: AI as a tool we think with. In this conversation, we get into his unusual path to design through cognitive science and robotics, what it actually means to treat emerging technology as a design material, why the chatbot is a primitive interface for the physical world, and why he believes augmenting human intelligence might be the most important design challenge of our time. Bio Leonardo Giusti, Ph.D., is an award-winning design and research director. With over 15 years of experience, he excels in transforming R&D projects into innovative hardware, software, and AI products. Prior to Archetype AI, Leonardo was the Head of Design at Google's Advanced Technology and Projects, UX Design and Product Lead at Samsung Design and R&D and interaction design lead at MIT Design Lab. Leonardo was a Post-doctoral Associate at MIT Design Labs and completed his Ph.D, in human-computer interaction at the University of Florence. He has filed more than 30 patents, and published more than 40 scientific papers. His work has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wired, Fast Company and other recognized magazines.

In this episode of Product Momentum, we're joined by Bansi Mehta, founder and CEO of Koru UX Design, an enterprise healthcare UX agency supporting some of the US’s largest healthcare technology companies. We discussed the busy intersection of artificial intelligence, product management, and UX Design. Bansi's Sense – Shape – Steer framework helps guide UX design teams as they integrate AI into their products – and avoid the trap of AI's drive toward mediocrity that limits individual creativity and expertise. Here's what we learned: Avoiding the Trap: AI Solutions' Race to Mediocrity AI's ability to rapidly generate hi-fi prototypes and voluminous content brings great benefit, but also significant risk. The risk manifests in mediocrity – i.e., solutions that drive to the mean. This sense of “good enough” stifles designer creativity and diminishes the quality – the Delight – of the final product. “The speed of AI makes it easier than ever to churn screens,” Bansi says. “But it's designed to deliver to that average mean that allows us to say, ‘that works, that makes sense.' And that's really the trap….these days, there's less patience in the industry for discovery and research.” Introducing the Sense – Shape – Steer Framework To combat this new reality, Bansi developed the Sense – Shape – Steer framework to help teams navigate the complexity of building AI-powered products. Sense. Understanding the Problem/Opportunity.“Sense is where you're really creating that sense of what is worth solving,” Bansi explains. “It's the intersection of what the user needs, what insights we have in terms of their challenges, and the opportunities that are present. But we mustn’t stop there. We then look to see what AI can do for us. And where we see the intersection, that’s the sweet spot.” Shape. Designing the AI-Enhanced User Experience.We emerge from the Sense step with rich insights into our user's desired experience, Bansi continues. “And as we approach Shape, we do so with an emphasis on the kind of UX challenge that we are trying to solve – from the user’s perspective. Using a storyboard, we proceed frame by frame to define the user's journey, the problem that we are trying to accomplish.” Steer. Implementing, Evaluating, and Iterating.The Steer step comes once you have built something and you launched, Bansi says. “This is where we define and clearly articulate our AI eval criteria that we've said are critical for product success,” Bansi adds. “I've seen products make it or break it depending on whether they got their AI evals right. It’s one thing to hypothesize that your solution will work. But it’s a completely different thing when you actually try to build sophisticated agentic AI layers where there’s multiple configurations and prompts.”   Broader Insights, Future Outlook The conversation underscores the notion that while AI accelerates development and content generation, it also requires subject matter experts in UX and Product to demonstrate greater vigilance than ever to maintain quality and relevance. The Sense – Shape – Steer framework calls on product teams to think first about user needs before considering whether and how to integrate AI. Our episode with Bansi Mehta feels like the capstone conversation to recent episodes with Nesrine Changuel, Teresa Torres, and Oji Udezue, where we examined bringing Delight to the user experience, re-engaging Discovery in the development process, and adjusting to the Speed of today's AI-driven development.

Most companies don't realize that  bad UX shows up in support ticket patterns before it shows up in their metrics.As more organizations lean into greater automation, a poorly designed UX results in slowdowns and user frustration, as support teams scramble to respond to a surge in support tickets.If you are in charge of enterprise systems or evaluating new IT installations, then this is the podcast for you.Today we are joined by the brilliant Tanya Donska.  Tanya  works with companies like Deutsche Telekom, IQVIA, and D.E. Shaw Group - fixing UX problems at enterprise scale where one bad flow impacts thousands of users and support costs alone can justify a redesign. She's a UK Global Talent visa recipient and Creative Director at DNSK WORK. In this episode of A Seat at The Table, Tanya will be discussing:The hidden cost of UX debt at enterprise scale - when "just fix it later" costs 6 months of engineering timeHow to make design decisions with 17 stakeholders without everything becoming beige (or taking 9 months)Why design systems fail at 90% of companies (and it's not lack of documentation)Wow, there's so much to unpack here.  So let's sit down with Tanya and find out what UX Band-Aids might be hiding at our organizations.---Connect with Tanya Donska:  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donska/Website: https://dnsk.work/Visit A Seat at The Table's website at https://seat.fm

In this special Halloween episode, we follow Evelyn—a weary UX researcher trapped in a testing loop that refuses to end. Each new participant looks strangely familiar. Each test begins the same way. And no matter what she changes, they all say the same thing: “I can't find the button.” The real horror? It's not the prototype that's broken… It's her process.Today, we're trading our usual interviews for a Halloween story straight out of every designer's worst nightmare: The Infinite Usability Test.Meet Evelyn—a mid-level UX researcher running a morning of user tests that won't quit. Every time she adjusts the design, another “Alex” walks in and repeats the same fateful words: “I can't find the button.”As the day unravels, Evelyn realizes she's stuck in more than a bad sprint—she's caught in a validation loop. Each fix only pulls her deeper into the same mistakes, and each round of testing brings her face-to-face with the one insight she's been avoiding all along.Because sometimes, the scariest thing in UX isn't user feedback…It's hearing something you didn't expect.Join us for a hauntingly familiar tale about deadlines, doubt, and the difference between proving you're right and learning that you're not.Will Evelyn escape the room—or will she keep testing until the end of time?Tune in to find out… if you dare.---Featuring Actress and UX Designer extraordinaire, Stephanie TerreroIf you enjoyed this spooky UX Design scary story, check out our previous episodes:• The Stakeholder from Hell• The Tale of the Cursed Prototype• A Cautionary Tale of Deceptive UX Patterns —Thanks for listening!

But what if the skill that strengthens all of those is the one designers most often ignore?In this episode, I sit down with Thijs Kraan, a designer-turned-growth partner, who makes the case that writing is the ultimate meta-skill. For Thijs, writing every day didn't just sharpen his thinking; it multiplied his impact. From running a 30-day challenge to publishing daily posts, writing became the catalyst for everything else in his career.We talk about the difference between business writing, expert writing, and copywriting, why clear writing equals clear thinking, and how documentation can protect your career when tough decisions come back months later. We also tackle the elephant in the room: AI. Should you let ChatGPT do your writing, or will that shortcut make you worse in the long run?Whether you're trying to influence stakeholders, sharpen your thinking, or just get better at your day-to-day communication, this conversation will show you why writing might just be the most important design skill you haven't been practicing.Tune in and see why it's time to pick up the pen (or keyboard).Topics:• 02:45 – The Importance of Writing in UX Design• 04:19 – Thijs Kron's Journey: From Web Development to Writing• 06:05 – The Power of Writing in Design Thinking• 06:31 – Building a Writing Habit• 15:06 – Writing as a Meta Skill• 20:55 – Different Types of Writing for Designers• 22:33 – The Role of Copywriting in Design• 24:36 – Writing as a Career Multiplier• 28:38 – The Impact of AI on Writing• 30:19 – Balancing AI and Human Thinking• 31:35 – Personal Experience with AI in Writing• 32:43 – Effective Uses of AI for Writing• 34:54 – The Risks of Over-Reliance on AI• 36:13 – Practical Tips for Writing and ThinkingHelpful Links:• Connect with Thijs on LinkedIn—Thanks for listening!

Design isn't a straight road. It's more like a maze with moving walls. In this episode, strategist Jen Briselli shows us why learning, relationships, and hidden networks matter more than best practices when navigating complex organizations.How do you thrive as a designer when the org around you is unpredictable, political, and constantly changing?Most designers hit a wall at some point in their career: their skills are strong, but the system they're working in feels impossible to navigate. Best practices don't seem to work, processes break down, and “design maturity” feels like a buzzword no one can actually define.That's where Jen Briselli comes in. With a background in physics, teaching, and design strategy, Jen helps teams understand what complexity really means and why learning is the only way through it. In our conversation, she explains how complicated and complex are not the same thing, how informal networks drive influence more than org charts, and why the real work of design is creating the conditions for growth rather than forcing outcomes.If you've ever felt stuck in a low-maturity team, frustrated by org politics, or burned out by chasing “best practices,” this episode will reframe how you see your role. Thriving in complexity and ambiguity is not about having all the answers. Instead, it's about learning how to sense, adapt, and build the great relationships that make great software possible.Take a listen to learn how to stop fighting complexity and start working with it.Topics:• 02:41 – Understanding Complexity in Product Design• 04:06 – Jen Belli's Journey into Complexity Science• 04:41 – Exploring Complexity Science in Design• 11:55 – The Difference Between Complex and Complicated Systems• 16:56 – Navigating Complex Systems in UX Design• 30:56 – The Role of Learning in Complex Systems• 34:58 – Formal and Informal Networks in Organizations• 40:57 – Understanding the Metaphor of Soil, Seeds, and Sunlight• 41:54 – Exploring Design Maturity and Emergent Properties• 43:33 – Creating Conditions for Psychological Safety and Design Maturity• 44:46 – The Role of Affordances in Design Maturity• 45:06 – Nurturing Growth in Unpredictable Environments• 50:00 – Balancing Work and Mental Health• 54:18 – The Importance of Identity and Letting Go• 57:33 – Final Thoughts on Complexity and LearningHelpful Links:• Connect with Jen on LinkedIn• Learning is the Engine // Jen's Rosenfeld Talk• Jen's YouTube channel—Thanks for listening!
