An introduction to UX - User Experience.
Where does UX come from, what are the benefits of using it, and how can it be applied to day to day agency work?
Understanding the User Centred Design process and how UX is an integral part of every piece of digital work that is produced.
Short presentation I made to introduce bitmama's Information Interaction Design team. It goes through what is UX design, how it is carried out and why it is useful (mainly in terms of ROI).

The Value of User Experience (from Web 2.0 Expo Berlin 2008)Niko Nyman
Companies and brands should think about (user) experience to find new competitive edge for their business. Better experiences create more value for users, which can be in turn transformed into business value for the company.
Design and its fundamental process have changed with time, growing challenges among the users, devices and different platforms for UI and UX process.
In Design Fundamentals, a day-long thorough workshop, we will try to understand the fundamentals of UI and UX process, and follow the standard process and approaches to create a user-centric design. With basic Design Principles as the the backbone for our design, of course!
A virtual guest lecture for a Digital Content Management class at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, introducing the students to UX in general, talking about my career/experience/projects, and suggesting tie-ins with library science and content.
'Hold my beer.' Those three words have preceded some of the greatest moments in history. But who would’ve thought they’d pave the way for an epic user testing session? In this talk, Austin will discuss a drunken usability experiment and the unexpected influence that it had on the way that user research is conducted. Learn about new and unconventional methods for overcoming the struggles and pitfalls of traditional user testing, obtaining true and honest user feedback, and verifying the usability and simplicity of a design. Discover the resulting impact on bottom-line metrics like conversion rate, retention, engagement, and revenue. Walk away with a list of tools that you can use to conduct similar research and experiments on your own projects. Finally, learn about what it means to have a Culture of UX and gain actionable advice on how you can create it within your own company.
Keep hearing these buzz words: UX and UI? Want to get a better understanding of what User Experience is and how it effects your site? Take a look at this top-level overview from Network Affiliates, the legal marketing experts!
An intro to what people (and myself) think UX is. Also who is "doing" UX and how you can do it better. Originally presented at Product Camp Nashville - Sep 2018
Going from Here to There: Transitioning into a UX Careerdpanarelli
A lot of people are curious about transitioning into the field of User Experience Design (UX). In this talk, I talk about a few different ways that you can transition into a UX career, be it grad school, night classes, or the ol' school of hard knocks, backed up by case studies.

The creative process can appear like a black box. Stuff goes in, gems cone out. But, when you're on the inside you realize it's much more a cypher: iterative, innovative and inclusive.
We all think we are advocating for users and try to embed the UCD thinking in our daily process. Is it possible to make everyone in the company think like a designer?

Jason Mesut - Tactics for Amplifying the Strategic Value of DesignUX Lausanne
Jason Mesut draws on his experience as a management consultant and a designer to unpack some of the core challenges he has found with design realising its value to business.
What is the User Experience profession anyway and why are we doing this work? I want to help people make products people love. Some of us in the field are making products people love - what are they doing differently? What is Agile and how do we fit in? How do we rethink our profession in this world where technology and implementation move so fast? Get back to the core of what we do: connect customers and companies; understand our users (not just the ones who use the product, but those who use our services) and focus on the value we offer. Not the value of the test or the report, but the value of the intelligence we provide. The landscape has changed: people have higher expectations about the products and service they use. Things should just work, they shouldn't be hard. How can we help companies and product teams get there? This talk would be my take on the subject, I would love to hear yours too.
At some point in your career, you’ll be called upon to sell User Experience (UX) to someone in your organization. You’ve probably already done it. Perhaps you’ll need to justify what you do in an organization or industry that’s just beginning to adopt UX methods or sell UX to secure your position within an organization or get future projects. So, what do you need to know to help you sell UX? What challenges might you face? In this talk, Daniel Szuc will:
1. Examine what works and what does not work well when selling UX within an organization;
2. Identify barriers you might encounter to the adoption of UX methods in your organization;
3. Discuss how to package and present UX to stakeholders.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
