In this week's episode, we discuss what we've learnt from Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans - the phenomenal book that has shaped the lives of both design and non-design folks in significant ways. By applying core principles in design - re-framing, identifying pain points and prototyping - to your life, Bill and Dave believe that anyone can design a purposeful life in line with their values. We agree! As Lauren says, design thinking isn't just for the holidays, friends!  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hotlinedesignpod/message

The product and UX worlds are full of frameworks and methodologies designed to ensure we keep our users at the forefronts of our minds.  But sometimes who they are doesn't matter as much as what they use our product for. In this episode, we explore how each feature and product has is 'employed' by our users to do a job for us, and how this framework can help us design more useful products.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hotlinedesignpod/message

This week, we're back with Part 2 of our user testing series - focussing on unmoderated user testing. Rejoice - because it triumphs moderated user testing in some ways when you don't have to "play calendar tetris", can launch tests on a weekend and get answers back quickly, and consequently can test with many more users! Keep listening to find out the team's best tips for tools to use and post-testing synthesis.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hotlinedesignpod/message

Depending on the organisation we're part of, designers either have the luxury of running user testing all the time, or the curse of having to convince our organisations the value it can bring.  Either way, this episode aims to offer a few tips and tricks, so you can confidently run moderated user testing sessions, in any environment.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hotlinedesignpod/message

This week, the cohosts discuss two cherished artefacts - personas and archetypes. We talk about the pros and cons of each form of user representation and unpack how can they help inform your designs.

Whilst it's almost the end of March, this episode was recorded mid-January when some of the 'New Year' chat was more appropriate. Regardless, it is not almost the start of Q2 of 2022, so hopefully these tips help you with your Q1 review and onwards planning.  In this week's episode, Lauren, YuXin and Lavinia chat about their goals, their approaches to setting them and some tips on how to make them stick. And because we work in tech, the usual acronyms are also going to make an appearance. Expect to hear about OKRs and SMART goals.

This week on Hotline Design, we have the pleasure of welcoming the phenomenal Rachita and Rebecca of Sisterhood School + Studio, whose mission is to bring design education to the 21st century by using creativity as the vehicle for social change to positively impact girls and their futures. They share their journey of starting Sisterhood, from bonding together at design school to testing and persisting with their idea of running long-term creative programmes for girls aged 13-18. Rachita and Rebecca also share what design means to them - both as the creators of Sisterhood programmes and accomplished designers in their own right. In this episode, we also switch things up by interviewing Zainab, a former Sisterhood student, in the Hotline Design Hotline section. We hope you enjoy the conversation - just in time for International Women's Day! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hotlinedesignpod/message
