So sad to see Ellie & Vito go. Ellie’s participation meant so much to so many and she danced beautifully, a true entertainer. Vito’s teaching was instrumental in her success. I would have liked them to stay in a bit longer 😢 #strictly

Don't trust the (design) process! Jenny Wen argues that designers became obsessed by the process, (personas, journey, flows), to the point where we forgot the actual project itself. I tend to agree here, I’ve seen consulting companies / agency sell whole abstract deliverables, ...

Jenny Wen — Don't trust the (design) process

For a good period of time, between like, 2014–2020, design was all about The Process. You know it. Yeah, that’s the one:

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

I have loved this series of #Strictly. Chris and Diane are an extraordinary partnership. Did not think that Samba dance-off was fair to them…

Took a wrong turn earlier and ended up driving past this questionable South London joint… just… why?! 🤯

Replacing Twitter Embeds With Images

I logged into Twitter using a fresh account last week. No followers, no preferences set. The default experience was an unending slurry of racism and porn. I don’t care to use Twitter any more…

I would never propose an FAQ at work yet when researching a place to visit I often find them useful for quick things like can I bring my dog / do I pay to park / and also what is useful to know that other people have asked? Potentially quicker than browsing the site…

Given the sad demise of GDS Academy, can anyone please recommend their user-centred design / product management training provider of choice? Free ideally but open to recommendations 😊

Nerding out on a custom CMS build this afternoon. 🤓 Long way to go, but user needs as structured, reference-able entities, giving a live report of which needs are not being met. Had to blur details for privacy reasons, but you get the idea.

A CMS interface. Heading reads: "Unmet user needs: These user needs are not currently being met by any content items in the site. You should prioritise creating content to meet these needs." Underneath is a list of about 10 needs and the users that have them.

RIP #MatthewPerry. I know you want to be remembered for your work with addicts, and I read your memoir which opened my eyes. But you were there for me through your kind brand of gentle comedy. This review is a treat ❤️ www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

The hugely versatile actor could be hysterically funny as a flatmate taking a bath – or terrifying as a truth-twisting lawyer. From Friends to The West Wing, we recall his finest moments on screen
