@maggijmitchell But to your point: it definitely feels like we’re not set up for success if trying to juggle FT jobs and FT parenting.

[Carolina Paula @cpaulabk]

@maggijmitchell Hang in there. In our case it partially entailed lowering standards and being okay with how much we can realistically do— for our own sanity and well-being. Removing the layer of expectations and guilt goes a long way. Admittedly, I haven’t quite nailed it yet.

[Carolina Paula @cpaulabk]

@forssto @AshvathNar @ProductsCount Sounds like the perfect intro to the topic! You’ll just need to communicate the changes in presentation topic early on.

Finally meeting a friend i missed back in 2019 #uxrconf, @cpaulabk 🚀

My sensitivity used to be considered a weakness, it’s actually a strength in leading my team. I connect deeply, give other people space to have harder conversations with you. @BroadleySpoken #DesignConf22

Day 2 of ⁦@JoinLearners⁩ DesignConf, let’s get it!

[Carolina Paula @cpaulabk]

@LolaOye asking all the tough Qs!

[Carolina Paula @cpaulabk]

“The future of work is family and freedom” Discussing the problematic relationship between workers’ safety nets attached to their employers with @konval and @rachren1 at #uxconf22. What happens when it’s time to sever ties and you’re stuck at a job you hate?

[Dr. Natalie Wright @coereba]

I am begging architects to stop designing buildings with transparent stairs. This is what happens when no one on the design team ever wears skirts.

[Lola Oyelayo-Pearson @LolaOye]

Your job as a designer is not to ship great design, it’s to solve a real problem and get that solution in the users hands. @Patrick_Hertzog #DesignConf 22

@LolaOye @Patrick_Hertzog

[Lola Oyelayo-Pearson @LolaOye]

How many UX people do you know who have founded and continue to run a design grounded business valued at over $1bn? First up @Patrick_Hertzog #DesignConf 22

[Lola Oyelayo-Pearson @LolaOye]

The hockey stick growth of self-harm also correlates with the growth of smartphones in the hands of young people. Depressing facts we need to look straight at. @LiamThurston #DesignConf 22

[Lola Oyelayo-Pearson @LolaOye]

Another big TIL: 53% of designers in the US are women but only 11% of design leaders are women. @grecasaurus. Realising we are wonderfully spoiled by an insane depth of female leadership at @ShopifyUX #DesignConf 22

[Carolina Paula @cpaulabk]

Are #designprocesses hindering our teams? One of many Qs posed by our panel today at #designconf22 with @LolaOye @pauljervisheath @sadialatifi and @felixleezd

[Lola Oyelayo-Pearson @LolaOye]

Equitable design = Co-design. You cannot design anything equitable if you are not designing WITH the people affected in mind. @projectinkblot #DesignConf 22

Perform too intensely without recovery and you’re in survival, perform too long without recovery and you’re in burnout. - Energy management. Lots of finger clicking recognition of this. @butilovememore #DesignConf 22
