Senior UX Designers, if you aren’t teaching or mentoring Juniors you’re missing out.
Teaching others is not only very fulfilling but also helps you reflect on your learning and makes you a better #designer#ux#uxdesigner#careeradvice
It's no secret that we ❤️ @figmadesign - we learned loads at #config2021 and have finally got around to writing up our thoughts on the talk that made the biggest impact @minarama's 'should devs design' (spoiler alert - we agree they should!) buff.ly/37oGne2
Anyone else see this as deeply problematic? 🤔
Maybe not every aspect of your life is a product that needs to be optimised, especially your relationships with people.
This IS everything re; the future of business more broadly - workers and customers are rightly demanding more.
And significant to see one of the OGs of the European VC scene say so out loud ❣️
this article is everything wrt the future of tech, business more broadly, leadership & being relatable to customers 👉 “companies that avoid engaging on social issues apt to be tagged as complicit” latimes.com/business/story/2…@byandreachang
Should devs design? Well...YES! @minarama shared how her team moved from handoff culture to embracing collaboration, becoming more efficient, and taking empathy with users to the next level!

👀 Great opportunity for a free and open conversation on Design Education with Don Norman. I started teaching formally this year and have so many questions for him! eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-futur…
If someone on your team is doing a great job, TELL THEM. And better yet, submit formal feedback tagging their manager. This helps immensely with promotions!
Does anyone else refer to @OReillyMedia books by the animals on their covers?
Just recommended the 🦜 one on ‘Articulating Design Decisions’, to a junior designer, great if you are new to the field or looking to build trust with challenging stakeholders. oreilly.com/library/view/art…
Our strategist, @minarama delivered an AMAZING talk about moving away from handoff culture to embrace a more collaborative environment at #Config2021 yesterday ❤️

Awesome stuff from @minarama on 'should devs design?' - it's all about collaboration, ending handoff culture and making better products through empathy. We're definitely big on keeping devs and designers working together throughout the process (right @burntcustard?) #config2021
The Should Dev's Design talk by @minarama was really great! Collaboration between dev and design is my main goal at @wearempf and it's nice to know we're heading in the right direction on our journey! #config2021
