Ever feel like advocating for ethical design is an uphill battle where you have to convince your team to settle for less? What if instead you could grow revenue with it?
Join my talk (via zoom) next Thursday at the Experience Design Summit to learn how!

Meet the Alexa Photo Frame. Your best photos on display, your stories in your own voice, and unlimited memories just a question away. Now available
Our best photos often stay locked away on our phones.
Starting today, they can become part of your home.
Today we launched the Alexa Photo Frame, and I led design on it and couldn't more proud of my team.
Check out what Engadget had to say:

Very very interesting episode of Software Engineering radio (@seradio) with @DesignUXUI: "Jonathan Shariat on Designing to Avoid Worst-Case Outcomes" do give it a listen se-radio.net/2022/09/episode…
Friendly reminder: if the user needs to adapt to you, its not accessible.
ALT 3 frame meme: first frame drake (from his hotline bling video) is saying no to "no accessibility effort", second frame no to "give users tools to adapt to the product", third frame yes to "product adapting to be accessible to users".

This week the Design Review podcast comes to an end!
One of the better design podcasts that dove into career growth, interviewing, negotiating offers, research, & last but not least: ethics.
The episodes will stay relevant for a long time. Thank you @machinehuman & @DesignUXUI

Embrace managing up.
🚫 “It’s my boss' job to manage me. I’ll manage up when I’m promoted.”
✅ “I shouldn’t have to manage up. But if I do, I'll take control & further my career.”
It might not be fair, but the truth is you get promoted once you’ve already been doing the job.

Design to prevent abuse ⬇️
Note to self;
Should always be aware of the negative scenarios. Provide the design to prevent abuse.
Taken from Tragic Design
Just had a flashback to early in my career when it was *critical* you told interviewers you sketched with paper and pencil before getting into any designs.
[Me, dead and arriving in heaven]: Heaven! Did I get in because I was a good person?
God: Oh heavens no.
Me: Why then?
God: You always added a relevant emoji reaction to people announcements in chat
Me: 👼
