@Fo @actuallyautistic @adhd I’m #ADHD and enjoy being a #UserExperience (#UX) Designer.

We get to learn about people’s needs, understand the problems they’re having and explore solutions to address them.

On any given day I might be exploring the steps a person might need to take to achieve their goal or sticking up and organising post-it notes on a whiteboard in an ideas workshop. I might be sketching out a low fidelity designs for screens or webpages (wireframing) or linking screens together to create an interactive prototype. There are any number of other activities.

I only dabble in User Interface (UI) design as there are people much better at making beautiful apps and websites than me. I prefer to stick to the more architectural and problem solving side of the work.

The best thing? You never know quite what the next problem’s going to be or how people will respond when you give them prototypes of your solutions to test. Always surprises!

Worth a look and pretty straightforward to start exploring for yourself. Not convinced about the usefulness of so-called UX boot camps but that’s just me.

Starting out? Search for #UX, #DesignThinking, #StoryMapping and #Wireframing for starters 😇

A stunning morning spent by the brown waters of the Wambuul Macquarie River yesterday recording stories about the future of the regions from some of the newer residents of Dubbo. Different perspectives from the 13 other stories recorded so far, which has made this aspect of my Regional Futures project so interesting and important. One of my takeaways from this morning’s three conversations is climate change is really only being discussed by the privileged despite the greatest impacts being on those simply trying to put a roof over their head and food on the table. That doesn’t seem like an equitable future. Re-listening to them today as I edit. Powerful stories.
