This talk is about how to approach experience design with the training, mentality, and methodologies of a visual artist. Artist-turned-UXer is an increasingly common career trajectory, and a pivot I address here through the lens of firsthand experience. First, I unpack and compare the skill sets required in each discipline. Next, I examine the role of data in contemporary art making through the simultaneous practices of seeing and archiving. Whether you're an artist who'd like to move into UX/UI, a leader or recruiter in search of fresh approaches to product thinking, or a UXer who wants to think more like an artist in your day-to-day work, this talk offers practical suggestions you can put into practice as soon as you’d like.
