Thank you #ux360 event for those 2 days of conferences about #uxresearch ! Day 2 is already finished so as yesterday here are my first highlights : 📝1. Design thinking has been criticized as it can let people think design step is done after 3 or 5 days of workshops. Design thinking is not enough to design great product BUT it gives us visibility in the company. It is also a way to make stakeholders understand how we work. Thank you Flavius Kehr 🤵‍♀️2. Ux researcher have to give their point of view and not being afraid to lead the « after research » work, in order to grow and to take lead positions. Inspiring talk from Nicole Bacchus with concreate examples 👂3. Research is not only done by UXR but also from « people who do research » (PWDR) inside the company : sales team, support team… gathering the insights at the same place, categorize them, and make the team responsible for all of that could drive to improve in efficiency. From Romain Dechamps. This resonates on what we are working on currently in our team to centralize customer and user knowledge. 🎨4. Design Systems co-built with business make business gain in efficiency and business use DS in all their projects. Niels Wolf 👩‍🏫5. Democratization of UX Research is no longer a trend but will still be there. And defining the future of UXR is impossible so be ready to embrace change when needed to value your expertise in new ways. Talk from Diana Lenz and Alexander Kurt : thank you both for your honnest return on experience on a fail :) 💪🏻6. How to align on what is an actionable insight ? Lydia Penkert shared how her team worked on this topic : gather stakeholders view, workshop with the UXR team and then align on what elements should be there for an « actionable » insight. The results : focused on user problem, a business opportunity and relevant for product! (Can’t wait to test this exercise in Criteo) Unfortunately I was not able to attend the 2 last talks / panels (travel timing) but I will watch the recordings as soon as possible. I’ld like to thank also Criteo for letting me assist to this event : more details on the learnings coming soon !! Sarah Lacroix Gaëlle Seznec

𝗠𝘆 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗖 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🎓 One year ago, I made the decision to earn my CPACC certification, Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies through the IAAP - International Association of Accessibility Professionals. I wanted to build a deeper, more inclusive foundation in my design work. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗖𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗖? In UX, accessibility is sometimes seen as a list of rules to follow, but it’s so much more than that. My goal was to create truly inclusive experiences by understanding the principles, laws, and unique needs that underlie accessible design. CPACC was the first step in that direction, helping me lay a foundation for this ongoing journey. 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗖 📚 Studying for CPACC opened my eyes to new perspectives, and the IAAP’s resources were invaluable. I learned that accessibility design isn’t just about compliance with WCAG, it’s about understanding the real-world impact of accessible experiences. Preparing involved: - Learning about accessibility law and policies, which emphasized our duty as designers. - Understanding diverse abilities, cognitive, motor, sensory and considering a broad range of needs. - Applying these insights in design, seeing how inclusive features shape everyday experiences for users. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗖 🚀 While CPACC is a wonderful starting point, it’s not the finish line. Certification is a foundation, but designing for accessibility requires continuous learning, empathy, and adapting. I’m still learning, and every project and conversation with other accessibility advocates helps deepen my understanding. 𝗔𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 Since earning my CPACC, I’ve noticed that awareness around accessibility certifications isn’t widespread among some designers and recruiters. It gave an opportunity to spark conversations about making accessibility a fundamental and foundational part of our design approach. By sharing my journey, I hope to highlight the value of accessible design and encourage others to consider accessibility as an integral part of our field. 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝘀 Creating accessible digital spaces benefits everyone, users with disabilities, companies, and us as designers. I hope this post reaches those curious about CPACC and accessibility, sparking conversations that bring us closer to a more inclusive future. If you’d like to chat about accessibility or learn more about CPACC, please feel free to connect! 🌍💻 #Accessibility #CPACC #InclusiveDesign #UXDesign #IAAP #DesignForAll #UserExperience #DigitalInclusion #DesignThinking #EmpathyInDesign

What is Holistic Design for Habitarmonia?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 🎧 As designers, we’re often so focused on visuals that sound tends to be an afterthought. But sound can transform a space, evoking emotions and adding sensory depth that a beautiful space alone can’t achieve. And no, I’m not just talking about background music. It's about intentionally integrating sound into the space—like we would with lighting or furniture—to create a fully immersive, multi-sensory experience that lets people see, touch, and hear the design. Looking for inspiration? Check out these incredible sound-based art installations—𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲, 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻! 🔊 https://vimeo.com/7235817

What is design research? How does it differ from design activity? Check this comparison regarding the activity's object. Design activity may be an object of design research in research about design. Yet, in research through design, the research object is shared with another activity, for example, another science. Drawing from personal experiences in hospital and service design, the lecture details how objects move through stages of motivation, confrontation, transformation, and reflection. It highlights the collaborative power of design games in bridging practitioner and researcher activities, revealing underlying contradictions. Influenced by Álvaro Vieira Pinto and Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit, the lecture posits that design research objects define researchers as they engage in continuous transformation with the world around them. https://lnkd.in/eFNC5RN3

🎉 I'm thrilled to share my very first Medium article, "Green by Design: When Sustainability Meets Accessibility" I've read multiple articles through the years talking about Accessibility or Sustainability, but never linking them together : Why ? For me, it's clearly a part of our ux design job to understand how can we implement both of them in our daily routine. So we should definitely talk about it. 🌱🤝 From concrete practical design tips to the broader implications of our choices, I've written my insights on how we can make tech not only functional but also inclusive and environmentally friendly. 🙌 I'd love for you to read through and share your thoughts. Let's discuss how we can all contribute to building better digital spaces. Check out the article and let me know what you think : https://lnkd.in/dXpPvfxF #FirstArticle #UXDesign #GreenByDesign #Sustainability #Accessibility #Design #Medium

🌟 **Dieter Rams: A Pioneer of Timeless Design** 🌟 Today, I want to pay tribute to Dieter Rams, an industrial designer whose influence extends beyond aesthetics to define what truly constitutes "good design." These principles are not just guidelines for designers; they are core values we should all integrate into our professional practices. #DieterRams #Design #GoodDesign #Innovation #Sustainability #UserExperience

Great framework for incorporating diverse expertise and skills into the design process.

There is a fine line between the Neo-Luddite "this will never work" and the Techo-PollyAnna "Why aren't we using AI for everything!" I agree that #LLMs can *help* with this but we are so INCREDIBLY far from code "written and managed by AI" that to say this is obvious begs an even more obvious retorte: Show me. Show me a company using code written and managed by AI. Please don't give me a half baked demo, show me a shipping system companies are using now. Please note, I'm not saying this won't happen! I actually believe it will (eventually). But at the same time, the distance between "it might work" and "it is shipping" has never been greater. We need to be building and sharing systems that do this and build, very carefully, up to these systems. There are going to be insights and learnings (and lots of painful lessons) all along the way. It's cheap (and fairly risk free) to say this is obvious and more so, to criticize people that are are taking a more measured approach.
