Top 6 ways developers mess up on User Experience (and how to avoid them) [SF ...Kate Rutter
Oh those pesky UI problems! Sadly, only a few are easily answerable. This talk does that and then frames two important underlying beliefs that impact how developers and designers can get the most of of UX by teasing apart UX and UI (they are *so* not the same thing!) and by broadening the perspective on what makes great products (not just great code.)
Design a passion project in three hours using Lean Start-up methodsKate Rutter
Inside you there is a secret product idea...some problem you are just itching to solve. Yet it falls prey to that deadly statement: “Someday, when I have more time...”
In this action-packed 180 minutes, UX London participants got their ideas out and into the world. Using Lean Startup principles and these fun and rapid methods, they created a coherent, lo-fi product concept and got peer feedback on it. From identifying the problem it solves for people and understanding the role it plays in customers’ lives to identifying a key metric to indicate traction, they explored the idea in full. They wrapped up with practical, actionable (and simple!) next steps to propel the ideas forward.

Recent developments in paper currency recognition systemeSAT Journals
Abstract
Currency denomination recognition is one the active research topics at present. And this wide interest is particularly due to the
various potential applications it has. Monetary transaction is an integral part of our day to day activities. However, blind people
particularly suffer in monetary transactions. They are not able to effectively distinguish between various denominations and are often
deceived by other people. Also, a reliable currency recognition system could be used in any sector wherever monetary transaction is
of concern. Thus, there is an ardent need to design a system that is helpful in recognition of paper currency notes correctly. Currency
denomination detection is a vast area of research and significant progress had been achieved over the years. This paper presents an
extensive survey of research on various developments in recent years in identification of currency denomination. A number of
techniques applied by various researchers are discussed briefly in order to assess the state of art.

Realify your Secret Idea with Lean Startup MethodsKate Rutter
Admit it. Inside you there is a secret product idea. Yet it falls prey to that deadly statement: “Someday, when I have more time…”
In an action-packed 180 minutes, you’ll “realify” it: get that idea out and into the world. This session is about skill-building through personal expression; a structured and engaging way to get hands-on with design methods from the Lean UX / Lean Startup world and explore an idea that is personally meaningful.
These techniques are directly and immediately applicable to UX design in the enterprise, startups and mid-sized companies.

Service-mesh technology promises to deliver a lot of value to a cloud-native application, but it doesn't come without some hype. In this talk, we'll look at what is a "service mesh", how it compares to similar technology (Netflix OSS, API Management, ESBs, etc) and what options for service mesh exist today.

Chunky Learning on Slender Timelines [ITX Beyond the Pixels, Portland OR 2019]Kate Rutter
The UX field continues to evolve, and the tools and skills we need to perform our jobs with it. Seasoned professionals are often strapped for time and struggle to incorporate learning new skills into their schedules, while early-career teammates may have knowledge of the latest and greatest but lack overall experience and take time to onboard. Where can we find a sweet spot that allows teams to grow their skills and experiences together?
In this conference talk, Kate shares a model for creating a culture of continuous learning in companies, discusses leading a successful UX adult learning program based on a framework of how people learn, and give concrete examples of learning tools you can apply immediately in your organization.
Escaping the Stagnation Sandpit: Building a Continuous Learning Team [UX Lisb...Kate Rutter
For a business to thrive, it must find and retain strong UX talent that creates customer-centered products and services.

How can we stay up-to-date in a world constantly in flux?
This talk explores techniques to build a culture of continuous learning in the workplace for new and seasoned professionals who want to stay current on emerging tools and avoid stagnation. Learn techniques that UX teams can use to be agile and resilient in the face of ever-evolving technologies.
This deck is from the sketchnote workshop part of the "Let's Sketch Tech" online meetup. Sketch-noting instruction was followed by the lightning talk, "Why AI Thinks You’re a Toaster (and Why You Should Care)" by IBM Watson engagement lead, B Cavello. After a short round of post-noting, we had an online gallery to share the work. Check the Tagboard at https://tagboard.com/letssketchtoaster/473159 for the work.
Sketchapalooza [UX Week 2018, August 2018]Kate Rutter
In this workshop at UX Week 2018, participants got hands-on with pen and paper to unleash the power of sketching. From design research to ideation to prioritization to communicating design directions, imagery and hand-created artifacts are effective ways to dramatically improve ideas and increase understanding and stakeholder buy-in.
We surveyed the low-fidelity sketching landscape, exploring practices like graphic recording, sketchnoting, urban sketching, lettering, scenario sketching and sketching screens & UI. And we got hands-on to develop and enhance our visual vocabulary and practiced sketching to think vs. sketching to communicate. (Spoiler: they are not the same thing.)
What topics were covered?
* When and why to sketch
* How sketching amplifies and improves UX work
* A summary of practices and methods, including graphic recording, sketchnoting, observational sketching, symbolic sketching, scenarios, storyboards, interfaces and flows.
* The tools of the trade and when/how to use them
* Sketching basics and tricks to work fast and accurately
* Sketching to think vs. sketching to communicate
* How to match the right level of fidelity for the right level of feedback
* Collaborative sketching and group participation
Informative Architecture [World IA Day 2017, San Francisco]Kate Rutter
Talk given at World IA Day, 2017 in San Francisco. Recent years have been a whirlwind for user experience design, and IA has ridden shotgun all the way. With the proliferation of digital products, smart devices, and inventive technologies that both produce and consume information, we have our work cut out for us. But maybe we've lost sight of the fundamentals that form the foundations of our work? In this talk, we'll reconnect with the core principles and practices needed for IA to flourish in the years ahead.
