203 - Boon Sheridan

Chicago Camps interviews Boon Sheridan, Product Designer at NASDAQ OMX. Boon is a Speaker Mentor at Speaker Camp Boston on October 11th, 2014. ========== About Boon Sheridan Over the last twenty years Boon has had job titles like site producer, content specialist, information architect, interaction designer, user researcher, stage manager and voice-over actor. Between bouts of title whiplash he’s helped build some very big things, and lots of very small things – each with their own powerful lessons. He’s a Product Designer at NASDAQ OMX, a Rosenfeld Media expert, a lover of new cocktails and old records. He’d love to swap stories over a beverage. About Chicago Camps Chicago Camps, LLC (chicagocamps.org) was founded in 2012.

About Tent Talks Chicago Camps hosts irregularly scheduled Tent Talks with people from all across the User Experience Design community, and beyond. Who really likes limits, anyway--If it's a cool idea, we'd love to hear about it and share it! What is a Tent Talk? That's a great question, we'd love to tell you. Tent Talks are short-form in nature, generally lasting from 10-20 minutes (ish) in a recorded format--we like to think of them as "S'mores-sized content" because that's pretty on-brand. Tent Talks can be a presentation on a topic, a live Q&A session about the work we do, or the work around the work we do, or really just about anything--we don't want to limit ourselves, or you. You should send along an idea or topic of your own so we can learn from you, as well! You don't have to be a published author or a professional speaker on a circuit to be good at your job, so please, put yourself forward, and let's have some fun, talk, and share your experience with others!
