Hey Mastodon! As I continue to dig through post-layoff life, I'm setting up more community discussions like the old days. Join me Wednesday Feb 28 for FREE at 4:30 PM PT on Zoom (registration required due to attendance limits) for an interactive Q&A session inspired by my book #DesignBeyondDevices. I'll open with how my practice has been going, then facilitate some community Q&A.

Are you working with multimodal design in your day to day practice? Are you trying to smooth the rough edges of transitions between devices in your company's experiences? Do you have questions about my book, Design Beyond Devices, and the frameworks included like the CROW customer discovery framework, activity modeling, notifications, and opti-pessimistic design? Let's get together as a community. I'd love to hear your success stories, rants about experiences that need help, and questions about the book.
🧵 Concerns about the latest troubling failures of Boeing’s MAX planes and their continued hubris - a textbook example of failure to apply opti-pessimistic thinking at scale.

Good news, everyone! You can now grab my book #DesignBeyondDevices (perfect for those of you looking to explore multimodal designs for #Apple + the #AppleVisionPro) - now for the great new price of $39.99 from the Rosenfeld Media website! All print copies still come with the ebook when purchased direct from my publisher. #ux #uxdesign

I’ve seen this mentality inside companies too - where a business unit will be dead set on launching a new app even though the company has an established app installed on hundreds of thousands or millions of devices.
“Why not just integrate with the company app?”
“Oh, we want to launch a brand.”
The customer is NOWHERE in that scenario.
In my book #DesignBeyondDevices we talk about relationships - like company - customer. They often see you as ONE unit. #uxdesign
