My top three posts of 2024

2024 was an up and down year. The UX/Design industry continues to try to find itself, as companies switch from a Design to a Product mindset. My long time role ended which set me off on a quest to find myself in this season of change, and I did!

2024 was an up and down year. The UX/Design industry continues to try to find itself, as companies switch from a Design to a Product mindset. My long time role ended which set me off on a quest to find myself in this season of change, and I did! I’ll write a post about this later. Along the journey I had the chance to reflect and blog about my thoughts, here are the three most popular as per the LinkedIn impression numbers (take that with a grain of salt).

My main takeaway from 2024 is my style of collaboration is just as vibrant and useful as ever. Maybe even more so since I think about Design and Product as equal partners.

Have a great 2025! I’m looking forward to a year in a new industry helping doctors learn their craft. 🙂

#1: Usability is a Culture – Game Developer Conference Christchurch

I was fortunate enough to give a short talk at the Christchurch Game Developer’s Conference. 66 Impressions on LinkedIn.

#2: My Experience with the Five Steps of Design Thinking

Design Thinking started in the 70s (approx 1979) and has been used to design products and software since then. I’ve had great experiences with it. 26 Impressions on LinkedIn.

#3: I am a Translator Between Design and Development

Someone asked me a question last week that really made me think. They asked, “so where do you sit between design and development?” 18 Impressions on LinkedIn.
