Are you a #UXdesign professional who feels misunderstood or underutilized? Stuck in the past instead of focused on the future? What if I told you I wrote down the techniques I’ve used to transform teams with that problem in #DesignBeyondDevices? A new approach to design is waiting. amzn.to/4jigT6t

This holiday season, know that the existence of AI does not diminish the value of your unique perspective and spark. It just means you might have to shout a little louder or be a little more disciplined about your skill growth. Cherish the people and experiences around you that can’t be simulated.

If you like my perspectives on AI, design ethics, and #uxdesign that isn’t bound to a single screen, then my book #DesignBeyondDevices is for you. I created concrete, actionable frameworks like #OptiPessimism, PICS, & CROW for research to help you lead with curiosity. amzn.to/49mhlwZ

THANK YOU for all of the support this holiday season as you helped get The Game Development Strategy Guide back up to the top of Amazon’s charts (currently #1 in several Kindle categories and in the top 13,000 Kindle books worldwide!) Can’t wait to hear from you. amzn.to/3Y5TxXZ #gamedev #videogames

Dear All-- I had an idea for an RPG show a couple of years ago, but I needed a few good nerdy partners and I found them. We've been working on this for over a year and in October it will arrive. It will be epic. What is it? Who is involved? Well, you'll have to watch this space to find out!

Got to watch this film and I loved it.

I hate that this is needed again, but here’s my post about approaches for breaking OUT of the video game industry. It’s not a one way street, and in many ways you will come back stronger for the cross training. But I’m sorry you have to consider it. #gamedev cherylplatz.medium.com/breaking-out...

Well, here we are in Spain. I feel like I am just getting started, and I wish I had more new episodes yet to come, but we have come to the final episode of what's turning out to be one of the most wonderful things I've ever done.

I took some of the insights I learned from my time on Windows Automotive - like multimodal design principles and how to design notification systems responsibly for use in high stakes scenarios - and put them into my book Design Beyond Devices: rosenfeldmedia.com/books/design...
