"Designers who use a process just because, instead of thinking about where they're trying to get and what's really needed," is the #1 concern we hear from design leaders. @mulegirl has inspired us to embrace and untangle the complexity and flexibility of "the design process".
Our own Chris Gaffey created a Flexible #Design Framework to help teams embrace ambiguity and use design to make more strategic decisions. Download the guide: designmap.com/ideas/break-fr… Thanks to @mulegirl for inspiring us with her Design Research Framework! muledesign.com/blog/design-r…

My daughter's 9-year-old friend is explaining to me that ENGINEERS make software, not designers. There's no designers in software. Pfft. It starts early...

Thanks for the invite @taylonr and @bdpcollective to speak at @connectaha yesterday! And especially for everyone who came to my talk -- I feel like we went through a whole thing, and don't show anybody the secret handshake, ok? Some resources we discussed: (1/3)

Not once but twice in the 5 days someone has mentioned the Cloudgenix user experience design as the bar that a competitor was aiming for. Designed by @Designmap in 2014-2015, acquired by @palotaltonetwks in 2020 and we're still talking about it in 2023. Just sayin'.

Thought this was such a smart take from one of our designers...
We’ll give you one guess at which topic dominated our 2023 trends discussion… That’s right! We went deep on Artificial Intelligence and the many implications, risks and possibilities it presents for designers and, well, everybody. hubs.la/Q01yB-nm0
