Doing less work > doing work for appearances. And Iβll die on this hill over and over again. Still believe this results in overall better outcomes, but you really have to hold out for actual years for people to realize.
The best part of renovating things is when you find random old things!
Easily my favorite part of working at Amazon is not just the βfreedom,β but the expectation to try new things, constantly self-assess and grow. Turns out I just donβt like having a boss.
Fondly remembering the time I tried to get my coworkers at the Chamber of Commerce to sing this song at a Christmas holiday party open.spotify.com/track/4w3tQB...
Gen Zβs like: whatβs a novel?
Meeting my college roommate/friend of 20+ years, thinking about how all I ever saw myself doing was writing novels in Ann Arbor. Now Iβm getting ready in a hotel across the country, getting ready for a day full of actual job meetings, and there are two grey hairs just sticking straight up. How???
Coming here always reminds me of the book βMicroserfsβ which I wish I could read again for the first time

Happy Thanksgiving from Huey!
Does anyone else feel relieved to have a slight return to healthier times (at least in spirit) with this shift to new social media platforms?
I have more thoughts for my blog, but yeah I feel comforted and relived to have a sense of community and connection re-emerging.
Fondly remembering when I went in for my annual physical this year and the doctor took one look at my intake form and said: βAre you here to get diagnosed for ADHD?β
No?
That βnoβ has gotten a lot more curious in the last several months, thatβs for sure.

Imagine if we treated traffic design the same way we treat anything online. Street by street signs with no idea what coming around the corner.
Lol mine is also named Huey!
Thereβs some version of this said in 9 out of 10 meetings Iβm in. Not so plainly, of course.
Itβs a good day.

How do I transition from UX researcher to UFO researcher? Canβt be that hard, itβs only two letters off π½πΈ

Itβs important to remember that resisting takes many formsβincluding throwing sand in the gears and just notβ¦ rolling over in advanceβand theyβre all needed and useful.
Approaching a full decade as a UXer. π€ IA turned UXD turned UX Strategist turned Service Designer turned UXR. Thereβs so much wrong with this field, but one thing thatβs just the absolute best: constant change and endless opportunity
