Featured appearances

Hypothesis driven strategy I taught a Productboard masterclass on my approach to design, research, and product framed by three hypotheses, which can then be proven or disproven through the rigor of scientific method.
Content Strategy Insights I spoke to Larry Swanson about content as the backbone for software design, and the necessity of establishing your system as an effective "conversation partner" to the user.
Storyboarding for low-fidelity design Game Thinking interviewed me over my approach to scenario storyboarding in my work and why it is such a powerful tool for quickly shattering ambiguity and tightening feedback loops.
The form factor trap I ran the NASA Digital Services team through my approach to getting stakeholders to focus on outcomes and their relative value, rather than racing towards shiny outputs and familiar ideas they have seen on other websites.
Low-fidelity gives better feedback On a chat with Beyond UX Design, I discussed my approach to establishing rapid feedback loops with internal and external stakeholders using low fidelity design - saving companies months of time and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Reconciling design with Agile In an internal conversation with the Amazon Logistics UX team, I expanded on how I approach iteration in design to let go of "time to production" as a metric of success and embrace "time to value."
