UX-Maturity: WHERE IS YOUR ORGANISATION ON THE KREITZBERG SCALE!? 🤔 I was discussing this with a fellow UX designer today and it made me curious about you all! #kreitzberg #uxmaturity #uxreifegrad #germanupa #bossbabes #womenwhoxd #womenwhodesign #womenwhocode #uxmeetup #uxcommunity #userexperience #userinterfacedesign #interaktionsdesign #uxwriting #interactiondesign #interactiondesigner #uxbootcamp #uibootcamp #uxmentors #uxmentor #uxmentoring #ladiesthatux #userresearch #userflow #workshops #uxdesigner #uxteam #uxteamlead (hier: Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJUdtZC3DP/?igshid=mm6r4hgi38n2

@jeffgothelf has a new book out: FOREVER EMPLOYABLE | This was my Sunday "tune" while working... Such a great piece of writing. 🌟⁣ ⁣ Exactly to the point. And even though I have heard many sentences from it in various talks and events, I am not growing tired of any of them. ☺⁣ ⁣ The reason is simple: Jeff really knows what he is talking about and I am so sure that many of his readers will have his book ready as a roadmap for followng their dreams and knowing how to be forever employable since what they do is what they are really, REALLY good at!⁣ ⁣ #foreveremployable #selflearning #studyingfromhome #selfisolation #selfemployment #freelancing #freelancer #jeffgothelf⁣ ⁣ #leanux #agileux #leanmethods #agilesarbeiten #scrum #kanban #uxui #uxuidesign #developers #designers #designthinking #uxcommunity #userexperience #userexperiencedesign #careershift #careergoals #careermode #careerpath #mentoring #networking #digitalproducts #selfsellingproject (hier: Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvYqqICA3C/?igshid=eo6t5n8hnc5y

@dribbble_inspiration needs a sharing button that translates into IG stories! 🏀 Just sayin. Now enjoy this cuteness by @olga.semklo https://www.instagram.com/p/CBpnFx0CDnD/?igshid=yigkkc5donci

GENDER PAY GAP, SUPPORT SYSTEMS, ALL BOYS CLUBS | Design Life is one of the podcasts I thoroughly enjoy. This episode is a much needed insight into the opportunities of female-identifying designers. Lift each other up, ask for support from (superior) men, and TALK ABOUT YOUR CAREER GOALS.⁣ ⁣ We tend to timidly wait for others to see us, to hear us, to help us out like we do as well... Well, plot twist:⁣ ⁣ HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY, a phrase I heard over at @morejanda and @tomrossmedia in their podcast, Bizbuds.⁣ ⁣ Take this to heart and take action! ❤️ Help each other, especially underrepresented groups such as people of colour.⁣ #youcandoit #empoweredwomenempowerwomen #careergoals⁣ ⁣ #womenintech #uxtraining #uitraining #userinterfacedesign #womenwhoxd #designers #uxdesigner #uxcommunity #womensupportingwomen #feminist #smashthepatriarchy #systemicsexism #designerinnen #uxfrauen #womenofillustration #womeninspiringwomen #designcommunity #designinspiration #careergoals #bossbabe #bossgirls #seniordesigners (hier: Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBlGSTYCgjA/?igshid=wax10xfb1hif

Make all of your design as accessible as you possibly can. @boagworld 👏 [Zoomed in picture of a black cat with piercing green eyes, only half of their face in showing.

24 HOURS OF UX ——— Oh wow! ❤️ Someone named Laura in Berlin did NOT sleep — if you're reading this, drop me a dm! 💪⁣ ⁣ I enjoyed this so much, the energy, the insights, the discussions!! I conmected with well over two dozen lovely folx on @linkedin, people from all around, from various fields, with so much to share...⁣ ⁣ Even met someone from New Zealand that had studied at my uni here in Germany 10 yrs prior to me! ⁣ ⁣ I could do this twice a year @idyawatihussein, but only 12 hours then 😁 thank you for all the hard work to keeping this up and running!⁣ ⁣ Peter and Jesse did an amazing job moderating and pulling all the strings on the stage.⁣ ⁣ For my own user experience, hopin.to is NOT usable in a mobile browser (Chrome, Android), the chat produced gibberish when trying to say something and the interfaces collide to much with each other: either you can chat (or try) and see the attendees OR you can see and hear people speak.

"An intro to standards editing @headspace" ⁣ ⁣🧡 @yuvalkesh1 of @uxwritinghub in conversation with Nicole @cassese⁣ of @headspace⁣ ⁣🧡 Finally caught this talk! @headspace and kind, consistent UX writing are almost synonymous...⁣ ⁣🧡 One of my main takeaways is that ux writers have to be flexible when it comes to frameworks, platforms and software: within one writing process their touchpoints will be manyfold — such as developers and ux designers — and all of them are using different files and formats. ⁣ ⁣🧡 (I could have listened double the time... Nicole is so smart and wonderful! And a cat mom to @lordpizzasmoosh 😻)⁣ ⁣🧡 #uxwriting⁣ #uxwriter⁣ #uxwritinghub⁣ #uxwords⁣ #headspaceapp⁣ #meditationapp⁣ ⁣ #userexperiencedesigner #ux #uxdesigner #uxdesign #womenintech #womenwhoxd #womenwhodesign #womenwhocode #copywriting #copywriter #microinteractions #mobileinterfacedesign #interactiondesign #microcopy #writingisdesigning ⁣ (hier: Headspace) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBH__kFiGij/?igshid=wdkljgjph0jj
