Addictive design is a real thing. Companies even go so far as to hire scientists to design habit forming behaviors. The debate between habit forming behaviors and addictive UX at this point is merely semantics, and we need to start drawing a line in the sand. It's time designers stand for ethical design that bolsters meaningful interactions--instead of hooking users with premeditated tactics.

My guest this week on the XD Podcast is Jon Sandruck; a Design Director at USAA that has won so many design awards... I can't even begin to list them out. So you can check out his Linked in or website for all those goodies.

What I founnd most intriguing about Jon is his passion for ethical design, and how we must (as designers) shape the future for good. We are the torch bearers, and it is up to us--even in the face of adversity--to follow a principled approach to design as our North Star.

I had the pleasure of interviewing author, speaker, and design mastermind Kevin M. Hoffman this week. We discuss meetings. Yes, meetings. I know, I know, meetings are the worst. But do they have to be?

Using his background in design, product management and strategy, Mr. Hoffman crafted a book with actionable insights you can share with your organization in order to stop hating, and start loving meetings. And more importantly... loving your time.

Curiosity didn't kill the cat. In fact it hasn't killed anyone. To be a curious designer and person is to be a successful person. And one that both Greg Flory and I love working with.

I had the pleasure of having Mr. Cooper VP of Product Design, Greg Flory on the XD Podcast. We talk ego, curiosity, and applying the principles of design thinking fundamentals into legacy products in order to move the needle, and company forward.

I first met Adrienne when I worked at Sabre, and from there, she went on to  AT&T, and now at Southwest Airlines. She brings interesting insight into design thinking, and how we all might be just a little bit more human with each other.
