Shark-proofing Your UX Presentations

Ep. #16: This special episode of uxcake was a panel discussion recorded live in front of an audience in Seattle on June 28. If you’ve been in ux design or research for awhile, it's almost certain you’ve been involved in a review of your work, or your team’s work, and chances are you’ve experienced a review that goes off the rails, or that causes chaos after the fact, or you just don't get the feedback you really need. In this episode we discuss lessons learned and techniques you can use to make ux reviews more effective, and how to prepare for, and deal with, the sharks and the other perils that can derail ux reviews.My guests on the panel were Laura Barboza, a CX Research Strategist at REI, (you can also hear Laura on UX Cake podcast episodes 11 & 12); Tony Yates, Director of Design Strategy at Smartsheet; Laura Blanchard, co-founder and creative director of Blamo Corps Agency; and Ruth Kiken-gil, a product designer and innovation strategist at Microsoft.Connect with the panelistsLaura Barboza LinkedIn Tony Yates LinkedIn Twitter Laura Blanchard LinkedIn Twitter Ruth kikin-Gil LinkedIn Twitter Connect with UX CakeTwitter @uxcake_FB @uxcakepodcastInstagram @uxcake  www.uxcake.coSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/uxcake.
