November 27, 2023 Ep. 70 - Training Not Trying
At a wedding I attended the weekend before Thanksgiving, I learned this phrase: Training Not Trying. It hit me that this mindset is one all designers should learn to have. When we are training we are committed, disciplined, learning, and growing. What designer wouldn't want that?

November 06, 2023Ep. 68 - Design Thinking: Prototype, Test, Iterate
In this episode I discuss the next three phases of the design thinking process. First, is the prototype phase where you construct low-fidelity versions of your best ideas from the ideation phase. Then you test these with actual users and record feedback. That feedback is then implemented as design iterations and improvements during the iterate phase. Next, you cycle back through these phases with your updated, improved, or completely new prototypes.

October 23, 2023 Ep. 66 - Design Thinking: Define
We continue our series diving into the practical details of Design Thinking on today's episode. The topic of discussion? Define! The second step in the Design Thinking process is to define the problem or the need that will be addressed by the team. I discuss why a problem statement or a need statement is necessary, how to write one, and the implications on the big picture of your design project.

October 16, 2023 Ep. 65 - Design Thinking: Empathize
Design Thinking is quickly becoming an overused buzzword that lacks meaning. In this mini-series, I'm going through and defining Design Thinking step-by-step and in detail.
In this first part of the series I dive deep into what it means to Empathize with users to truly understand their experiences, needs, and perspectives. This involves so much more than simply listening to or reading feedback from comments and surveys.
Additionally, I discuss a few common traps designers fall into during the "Empathize" phase and how you can avoid them!

October 09, 2023 Ep. 63 - I Am Back
I'm back from my nearly three week honeymoon in the beautiful Canary Islands. I climbed mountains, soaked up sun, and even had time to think about a little bit of design. In this episode I provide a bit of my vision moving forward on Design30 and then discuss how important it is for designers to think like engineers and engineers to think like designers.
