Slides from the talk I gave at the 2014 Seattle Product Camp. Presents 4 methods to include user experience research throughout the design process: Interviews, Concept Testing, RITE Testing, and the Desirability Toolkit.
Micro-Networks & Hyper-Local Communities: Creating Meaningful Human ConnectionsAmy Dickson
Join us as we unpack the implications of interactive online communities on local markets, human goodwill, our landfills and watersheds, and how technology is effectively bringing strangers together to do good. Presented at Seattle Interactive Conference 2015.
UX and The Heisenberg Uncertainty PrincipleAmy Dickson
A teaser deck for our upcoming presentation at SXSW Interactive 2015:
User experience (UX) work, a term we use for developing great products, is more than understanding end users and technology; it’s also about understanding how to create a process and environment where great UX can happen.
To do this, we have to be hyper-aware of observer bias and effect, and to use our understanding of meta-handling (The Witness Effect) to our advantage. Sometimes, all it takes is stepping outside yourself for a few moments.
In just four months, Microsoft has already sold over 60 million licenses of Windows 8. This new version of Microsoft’s flagship operating system creates new opportunities for designers and developers to reach vast numbers of users. Windows 8 applications are designed following the principles of the Modern UI style. In this webinar, Valentina will teach you the basics of designing Windows 8 applications that fit within the Modern UI paradigm while maintaining a strong brand and personality.
This is a presentation we gave at the Microsoft Gen Appathon on November 9th, 2012. It is an introduction to the user centered design process and Windows 8 design.
Providing a compelling user experience is pivotal to developing a successful product. As a product manager, you are often tasked with difficult decisions that require a deep understanding of customer needs and how to deliver the best experience possible. User research is an effective way to both generate insights and validate direction.
In this workshop you will learn:
* The skills to effectively integrate user research into the product development process with a strong return on investment.
* How foundational user research can help product teams understand user goals, generate insights, and narrow focus.
* How to use research to evaluate and iterate on product concepts.
* How to validate design and product decisions to ready your product for launch.

Behind the Brand: 30 Influencers that Drive Social for the Brands We LoveLeadtail
The concept of “influence” has rapidly found its way into most marketing programs and industry dialogue. On the heels of my book Human to Human, we decided to embark on a different type of influence research project.
Leadtail and Pure Matter partnered to transcend the world of lists and rankings, in order to define new engagement styles that tell us more about the humans behind the influence.

Join us for a kinesthetic, case-study-based conversation on MetaUX: a naked deconstruction of how UX methods can be put to practice in the practice of UX.
Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being, MESH, is a decision-support tool which ‘meshes together’ already-existing models of ecosystem services to support integrative land management approaches, and - in the near future - will link these outcomes to indicators of human well-being in the context of the newly-launched Sustainable Development Goals. Take a look at this presentation and follow Natural Capital Project's Dr Justin Johnson's demo of MESH step by step and learn how to use it.
