10:40

From Amphitheaters to Apps: The Evolution of User Experience Long before we had screens, scroll wheels, or skeuomorphism, we were already wrestling with what it meant to design for humans.

UX Leadership and Strategy: A New Direction 3:07

11d ago3:07

If LinkedIn is to be believed UX design is a hot mess right now.

Are Synthetic Personas Smart UX—or Just Clever Illusions? 6:09

26d ago6:09

6:09

Hello all. I admit, I didn't expect much. In fact, I was fully prepared to dismiss it as just another AI gimmick—a shiny distraction from real user research.

I bet that subject line made you think this email was going to be about the importance of focusing on usability. But actually, we shouldn't be.
