Some of my favorite UX links
I have been wanting to do this for awhile, so I looked down at my “Fuck Yeah” bracellet, got in touch with my inner Shia LaBeouf and "JUST DO IT!!".
Education Invision Blog Usability.gov (too bad they didn’t read their own content when they built healthcare.gov) Google Design YouTube Channel App Animations
Guidelines + Help Paint Code iPhone Sizes
I will continue to add to this list from time to time.
Cheers, Doug

Your empathy shows
Given the importance attached to the inference of intent in other disciplines, it is notable that no serious effort has been devoted to understanding the inference of intent in design. Instead, the user response literature typically conceives of users as rather unsophisticated readers of products: they are seen to read the product, but not to recognise that that product has been written. For example, users are reported as finding products attractive, easy to use and symbolically appropriate, but little mention is made of whether users believe that those products were intended to be regarded in such ways (see reviews by Creusen & Schoormans, 2005; Crilly, et al., 2004; Desmet & Hekkert, 2007). This is despite work in the philosophy of cognition (Dennett, 1987; Vaesen & van Amerongen, 2008) and developmental psychology (Bloom, 1996; Kelemen & Carey, 2007) that argues that people’s interpretations of designed objects involve some inference of the designers’ intentions. Even where design research does recognise the possibility that users will infer design intent, this work is primarily conceptual in nature and is relatively rare and underemphasised (for example, we must look to specific passages in Bonta, 1979, p. 227; Crilly, Good, Matravers, & Clarkson, 2008, pp. 440-442; Crilly, Maier, & Clarkson, 2008, p. 20; Kazmierczak, 2003, p. 5; Malkewitz, Wright, & Friestad, 2003, pp. 5-6; Van Rompay, 2008, p. 342).

My favorite part of the article was towards the bottom, "The “toe in the water” phenomenon". The idea of b2c and b2b is radically changing as expectations shift. Once upon a time business software could be thick and clunky. As a user, we interacted with software mostly at work, but now our lives are filled with screens. Hence why being user centered has become so important: ushering in the end of the b2c/b2b differentiation and ushering in human to human (h2h).
Time to jump into more Quartz Composer. With my last retro for my iOS team, I have decided that the time to learn Quartz is worth the outcome. I have been able to create interactive prototypes via Hype 2, but I hope that Quartz will let me quickly tweak the interactions. Then the devs will be able to use them to help in the development.
IDEO offers an improved version of Origami, the open-source UX prototyping tool Facebook released earlier this year.
Most people don't even know how to ask a question. Most of don't see the root of a question is a quest. https://vimeo.com/95257403

Design Culture: It starts with strong design skills among all
A good read about The Myth of Apple design My favorite:
Apple Myth #1: Apple has the best designers… Not True!
“It's actually the engineering culture, and the way the organization is structured to appreciate and support design. Everybody there is thinking about UX and design, not just the designers. And that’s what makes everything about the product so much better . . . much more than any individual designer or design team.”
I leave you with this...What does it mean to have a design culture and how can you create a culture where everyone feels comfortable thinking like a designer?
Pantone 143 color match. Ticonderoga #2 pencil. Never think that you’re too small to start a big idea (what I’m preaching to myself).
Some fun for you!

TV S.M.A.R.T.: Anytime, Anywhere - The Evolution Continues Work I did with Labrador Agency in NYC. Love it!!
My most recent piece. Still a few more hours of work to put into the piece, but I am loving the direction. And it has been great working with my client!!
Rick Stollmeyer, the CEO of MINDBODY Online, was recently on Bloomberg to discuss the future of the company I work for. I am psyched to see MB's efforts getting air time + knowing that I am having a direct hand in the company's mobile initiative.
Learning to story tell
My presentation about the conceptual direction for Connect went great! My 2 1/2 months of work really paid off with a big win for the UX department. I had a lot of help from the research team. With Susan Rice's help I was able to hone the story. With Chris Smeder's and Sara Kryza's help, I think we have a lot of excitement from senior stakeholders with the direction of the company. Really exciting time to be a designer! #changetheworld.

Update: Waiting to make sure it is okay with my company to share this...
Previously on my blog: Example of one of the many prototypes I built using Hype 2.0 by Tumult. This allowed for a quick and dirty prototype to be placed into users hands after a day of work. This was a huge win for MINDBODY Online because the devs knew exactly what to build and the UX team was confident in this first live phase 1 of the booking process.
Check out the app: MINDBODY Connect via the Google Play Store. And look for the refreshed and refined Connect coming out soon.
Happy to work for a company that is getting pointed out as a great example to help small businesses grow and maintain their health & wellness business.
