What kind of freelance design life do you crave? One where you're satisfied with work and pay, and have energy for experiments & hobbies? I started a newsletter called Mildly Independent for design freelancers who think calmly, work politely, and rest. mildlyindependent.design

yooo, tomorrow I'll talk about the Dunning-Kruger effect and all its intricacies, make sure to tune in :)
Ever been sure your design was perfect only to see it fail in user tests? 😅 The Dunning-Kruger effect often tricks even the most confident among us. Join @pablostanley as he explores how to overcome these blind spots in design and business. 🔗 bit.ly/3QRsr3A

Huge news. Big announcement. Last year at Config 2023 @bchesky said something while being interviewed by @zoink that struck a chord with me. 1. Have a nerve 2. Designers should start companies... ...and I took that personally. We're full time @divinate_co baby 😎

If you didn't manage to grab a ticket for the fabulous @uxcampeurope (or even if you did!), why not pop over to Brighton (UK) for UX Camp Brighton 2024 on Sat 27 April? We're only 30 mins from Gatwick Airport… come and join us European friends! #uxce24 #uxcb

Why should I come to @UXCampBrighton, rather than another UX event? It's a low-cost 'unconference'. About 40% of attendees will run a 20-min session: doing a talk, workshop, etc. You can run a session or just attend. Up to 45 sessions to choose from! ww.uxcampbrighton.org/ticket…

"People think that they can generate content and paste it into their blog and that means something. But if your intention's not there.. if there's not a human in the loop... then there's not really a reason for me to care about it" @Treggify on AI for designerswithimpact.com

Everyone says talk to your customers. No one tells you how much time it takes. @tihalstead and I have been grinding on this for a minute and today... we launch. Divinate! Divinate helps you make sense of user research faster so you can build the right thing for your customer.

If you've never spoken at a design event before, BarCamps like @UXCampBrighton are an amazing way to get started in a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. The speaking careers of many a seasoned speaker started at @UXCampBrighton. It's the perfect event to take that first step.

Hilarious highlight of my day: the teenage assistant at my hairdressers earnestly enquiring whether I knew of [checks notes] “Any great skate parks in New York City”.

💯My personal journey from IC > Leadership > IC Consultant has made me a more effective and valuable partner for my clients and their management teams.
A sign in someone's career, that I always take as a big positive: having been a manager, then went back to being an IC. They are almost always more efficient, having been on "the other side". Often can be great partners to managers and know their reasons on "why not management."
