Had some great conversations yesterday at @TheCVShow and enjoyed seeing low carbon commercial vehicles of the future!

@tomwaterton @KITKAT Thanks Tom, loving it so far!

[Sara Mansell @UXtra_design]

Got a new job! The hours are long, the boss is highly demanding and notoriously hard to please but occasionally I do get #mybreak @KITKAT

The job satisfaction though is ❤️ #newmum

[Sara Mansell @UXtra_design]

@nohwayjose @KITKAT Thanks Greg! Hope you’re well ☺️

[Sara Mansell @UXtra_design]

@KITKAT Thank you ❤️ Having a Kit-Kat with a hot cuppa for once was certainly nice!

Devasted to hear the #IBMdesign Studio in #Austin has flooded 😥 A lovely tribute by @douglaspowell1 - the space was such an energised, adaptable, creative space and I loved spending time there! Hope the team are okay in TX and you can rebuild a studio even better than before ❤️

As many of you have heard, the IBM Design studio in Austin was heavily damaged last week when a pipe burst during the severe winter weather in Texas, flooding the entire 8-floor building. Just published my thoughts... https://t.co/wicI6950fq #design #designatscale #ibmdesign

@poofichu Oh this is awful news! 😢 Many fun memories & friendships in the Austin studio. Sending love to TX ❤️

When moderating usability sessions, I find the content matters just as much as the design. Here are some tips from @NNgroup to help you test content with users: https://t.co/hqj3eWRcbI

In 2020 we've learnt to work remote all the time, including running research with users. One of our user researchers @UXtra_design wrote about the tools and techniques she's been using to run research activities https://t.co/NsqQ7zejW0

Ever wondered what all those unpaid hours of cleaning, cooking, travel, laundry add up to? Now you can: https://t.co/cIbi0RwAiL ONS also report women 60% more unpaid work than men. Something to think about #genderequality

[Sara Mansell @UXtra_design]

@holbrich15 I think the questions are intentionally vague but the idea is to go with your gut instinct! 😉

A good article by @Rory80hz to explain #COVIDー19 Contact Tracing, how an app is not necessary but could make it much more effective: https://t.co/SB1p4ZMR2T

@Josephine_Farr @KainosSoftware @drewno_design as the facilitator of the observation room for the last sessions I am sure he can give you lots of insights😉

[Sara Mansell @UXtra_design]

I'm surprised by how well I can still do my job with @KainosSoftware despite not meeting with anyone in-person for over 3 weeks due to #COVID19 . I've documented a few tools and tips to help you conduct #uxresearch and #workcollaboratively whilst #StayingAtHome
