new post – in public: notes on working in the open mikegallagher.org/posts/in-pub...

an attempt to articulate something hopeful in the face of a never-ending stream of horror. it felt like good time to reflect on design as politics, as someone who was born in the US and now works for the NHS. mikegallagher.org/posts/design...

a weeknote about affect in software mikegallagher.org/posts/strict...

a weeknote about wrapping up a phase of work, planning how we document what we've done, and reflecting on our approach to user research mikegallagher.org/posts/where-...

a weeknote, thinking about how my role has (and is) changing while we wind up an alpha about native code and design patterns mikegallagher.org/posts/recons...

a weeknote, pondering the similarities of interfaces for data and teams, along with what they afford. mikegallagher.org/posts/APIs-a...

a weeknote about disconnections between the layers of the system. mikegallagher.org/posts/the-gu...

i work with a bunch of clinicians. they're doctors and nurses and pharmacists. i am pretty well convinced that, even though we have different job titles, we do the same thing. i am convinced we all do user-centred design. mikegallagher.org/posts/patien...

a weeknote about different (perhaps conflicting) design paradigms, trying to not destroy trust, and watching people's hands. mikegallagher.org/posts/fear-o...

we've been working on a set of design principles for our teams. they aren't anything radical, they are just tailored for our space, with clinical safety concepts baked in. hopefully they are useful to other people. mikegallagher.org/posts/design...

a short-ish weeknote about useful ways to make things and demonstrate ideas. mikegallagher.org/posts/effect...

a weeknote supporting teams, being a therapist, and people peopling around mikegallagher.org/posts/the-wo...

a weeknote, in which i try to avoid being a cliche while taking inspiration from japanese cultural practices (i know). also: apps and design systems and noodles. mikegallagher.org/posts/shokun...

a weeknote, [email protected], about trauma-informed design and interfaces and what is owed to the public mikegallagher.org/posts/interf...

do i know anyone at SDinGov? (i am at SDinGov)

a weeknote, extending @visitmy.website's post from earlier in the week; also: actor-network theory and contributing to greater collective super-consciousness (i.e. blogging lol). mikegallagher.org/posts/cognit...

a weeknote. like, an actual weeknote covering most of what happened this week. mikegallagher.org/posts/a-mill...

a weeknote. this week, amid the summer holiday slowdown, most of my time was spent devising different versions for how new work should proceed, which is to say: i wrote a bunch of project briefs for the same subject. mikegallagher.org/posts/specul...

extending the blogpost @frankieroberto.com and i published on monday about the NHS prototype kit, some more thoughts on designers working in code mikegallagher.org/posts/design...

a new blog post from me and @frankieroberto.com on the NHS' design matters blog on why we're putting a lot of effort into both improving the NHS prototyping kit and making it easier for designers to use it digital.nhs.uk/blog/design-...

a weeknote, back to work, trying to make sense of new plans mikegallagher.org/posts/back-t...

a weeknote (yes, again) about people getting excited to make big change happen, and why that is often incredibly difficult to act on. mikegallagher.org/posts/resist...

not a weeknote (maybe i am done with the format? i dunno). instead, some notes on how i think about what one gets up to at work, distinguishing between the things you make and the things you learn. mikegallagher.org/posts/the-wo...

a weeknote on how enjoyable it is to be more involved with design work than i am normally able to pull off (shocking, i know) mikegallagher.org/posts/dance-...

a weeknote on interoperability, broadly considered (with apologies to john green). mikegallagher.org/posts/everyt...

a weeknote, continuing on from last week. something to do with frames of reference and navigating conflicting worldviews. mikegallagher.org/posts/the-su...

a bit late, but another weeknote, mostly pondering why i like a particular quote so much (and service design). mikegallagher.org/posts/limina...

a weeknote, wondering what job titles say to other people and wondering if it matters mikegallagher.org/weeknote-wc-...

a weeknote, sort of, in which i try to work out how to be a designer who still designs things, which is more difficult than one might think. mikegallagher.org/weeknote-wc-...

a weeknote summing up some recent reading mikegallagher.org/weeknote-wc-...

a weeknote that could have been titled "what is the NHS app, really?" mikegallagher.org/weeknote-wc-...

a weeknote mikegallagher.org/weeknote-wc-...
