Zinzy Waleson Geene

I moved instances so here's another #introduction! I'm Zinzy Waleson (she/they) from #amsterdam.

I'm a #queer #afropean #researcher and #designer in #education #technology (or #edtech) with 15 years of experience building digital products. Currently, I'm a #ux manager at Leeruniek.

I'm interested in #indieweb #mediastudies #anthropology #ethnography #linguistics #theology #genderstudies #pkm #yoga #taoism #gardening #cooking

I love meeting new people and hearing their stories, so hey!

@daveparry hey Dave! How’s your day?

@zinzy good thanks! I’ve just been to the end of the garden to feed my chickens. What sort of gardening do you do? Vegetable or ornamental?

@daveparry what an amazing picture, I can already tell you're doing some Very Serious Gardening™️, good on you! I do a bit of both, mostly in the window sills, our patio, and our little wall garden in Amsterdam. Gardening and UX, though, how do you even combine the two? :D

@zinzy chickens are surprisingly photogenic, if not particularly friendly creatures in the traditional sense!

I’ve been mulling over whether I combine UX and gardening—perhaps mastodon is more of a mull-friendly environment than Twitter—and I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t!

@zinzy hello fellow mastodonter! I loved your introduction and I'm also in ux, but a writer, in a nutshell, I'm following you now!
