Designer, developer, manager, mentor, but mostly I just love solving problems!

Good buttons are not easy to design. Domas Markevičius has written a nice summary of how they approach button design at Wix.

It is common for improvement or transformation plans to use the language of "driving" change through the organisation or system. If we want large-scale, sustainable change, we need to grow it, not drive it. Graphic via @MilFamLN #100RepeatTweets no.52 #Quality2021

Great illustration from @grantdraws on why its not easy to be a leader of change in a large organisation...

[Jared Spool @jmspool]

Before scaling design influence across the organization, it’s important to first establish a general shared understanding of the design team’s work and successes.

@brad_frost Tried, gave up - very buggy! It simply couldn’t compete with Sketch. Now Figma, that’s another story - seriously considering the switch...

[Andy B @andy__blackman]

Version control - it’s never important until it is...

#nngux London - Day 6 - Being a UX Leader 😀 with @rachelkrau. Dispelling some myths, figuring out how to beat the survey, and be an evangelist !!

#nngux London - “If it’s made of pixels, it goes in the style guide” @katewkaplan @jboogie

[Andy B @andy__blackman]

#nngux Amen @katewkaplan !! I often see demand/temptation to prototype every screen in hi-fi. I prefer a “T-Shaped” approach - show breadth, and then drill into one flow in detail, or break “wide” and “deep” our into separate prototypes .... anything else gets *really* complex!

[Andy B @andy__blackman]

#nngux London - Day 5 - UX Deliverables with @katewkaplan Looking forward to seeing how we stack up against the NN/g recommendations and standards !!!

[Jared Spool @jmspool]

For many products and services, we can’t pick a set of metrics at the outset and say, “Ok, that’s how we’ll always measure success.” If we do that, we’ll lock ourselves into a simplified notion of success.

#nngux Some compelling real-life data: Actual improvements on research metrics captured from 70+ redesign projects!

#nngux London - Day 4 - Measuring UX and ROI with @kate__moran. So far I’ve been a tiger, and learned (not surprisingly) that we’re not doing enough measuring !!!

[Andy B @andy__blackman]

#nngux London - Day 3 - “it might get a bit meta” - A workshop.. on running workshops!!

[Andy B @andy__blackman]

#nngux London 2019 - DesignOps - some selected Designer to Developer ratios and how they’ve changed over the past 7 years. Fair to say 1:8 seems to be the norm. Would love that!!!

[Andy B @andy__blackman]

#nngux - #DesignOps - trying to solve the problem that “designers are too busy to design”

[Andy B @andy__blackman]

#nngux London - Day 2 - Scaling UX Design and User Research. Judging by the materials on the table, I’m thinking this session will be right up my street. Can’t wait!!
