In this episode I talk about threat detection, what it is, how it is used in design, and how it is utilized to grab and hold our attention online. Yes, AI is a threat and people are using that to grab your attention (just like I am doing right now).

In this episode of the Design30 Podcast I discuss user personas and why they are a useful design tool. Personas help us define and understand our users while also aiding in communicating their needs to the design team. Additionally, these archetypal user personas provide specificity where ambiguity typically reigns, at the start of a project. Remember, a product designed for everyone serves no one!

Sometimes things are so commonplace we don't even realize we are taking them for granted. Light is one of those things! The engineering and innovation that has brought use light whenever we want it should not be overlooked or under appreciated. From Christmas lights to a simple overhead light, we have light all around us at the flip of a switch. Our ancestors had to work for it!
