“There are three responses of #Design — yes, no, and WOW! Wow is the one to aim for.” 💡 - My favorite quote by #MiltonGlaser @AIGAdesign @aigadc @aigabaltimore

Tips for Designing for Web Accessibility: w3.org/WAI/tips/desig… #UX

"Rome was not built in a day and neither are accessible websites and apps." Heard this quote in @edXOnline's @w3c Intro to Web Accessibility Course and wanted to pass this along! #a11y

Coming up: The @fearlessbmore team is heading to Chicago for #HIMSS23! If you want to learn about how we support #GovHIT, check out this resource: fearless.tech/purple/governm… #HealthIT #HealthcareInnovation #Interoperability

If you tell yourself “I want to go to more networking events,” then commit to it! I admittedly dragged my feet to get out the door this event, but as I stand here in a room full of inspiring leaders to celebrate #InternationalWomansDay, I’m so glad I got out of my comfort zone.

(Pst, I worked on this project!) It's so cool to be a part of a site refresh that impacts millions of users. 💜 #ilovemyjob #SoftwareWithASoul

Infinite #scrolling can create great user experiences, but it also has weaknesses. Consider 3 alternative #DesignPatterns that may work better for your product: A load-more button, integrated pagination within a long scroll, and traditional pages nngroup.com/videos/alterna… #UX

My family thinks I make websites look good. (I mean, yeah, but as a Product Designer I am also looking at #WebAccessibility, if we're following #usability heuristics, and that we're building around the needs of the users.) How websites work > how websites look.

Don't be that person that walks into an awkwardly silent meeting without a #dadjoke prepared. Save this one for later to break the ice:

Last week I tried out #ChatGPT for the first time. Initial thoughts… 3 seconds in: “Am I doing this right?” 10 seconds in: “It actually looks like a person is typing this out.” 30 seconds in: “Crap, this is spot-on. Is #AI going to take my job?” #worksmarter #ux

Who should write the acceptance criteria?

3 suggestions to reduce #GunViolence: 1.) Hold parents accountable for gun-related crimes that their children under 18 commit 2.) More conversations in schools about how to handle conflicts & stop bullying 3.) Escalate red flags reported by teachers @iamwesmoore @MayorBMScott

Four @NNgroup courses & exams down, one more course & exam to go until I'm #UX certified! Tonight I begin Part 1 of the course on "Product and UX: Building Partnerships for Better Outcomes". Can't wait! Learn more about the class here: nngroup.com/courses/produc…

@CD_Brandt 👆For sure! I've been interested in getting a genealogy report, but have hesitated on that for this reason.

Echoing. The exploitation of private data - particularly in healthcare - raises ethical concern. E.g. consumer-oriented HIT companies circumventing HIPAA. At some point, we’ll need legislation / regulation - at least regarding use and sale of identifiable DNA data.

What do you think, will #ChatGPT replace jobs in the #UX field? We’re talking about this at the @BaltimoreUX meetup, happening now!

Join me at @fearlessbmore TONIGHT (6-8pm) for the @BaltimoreUX meetup! We'll be talking about "Is #ChatGPT gonna take your UX job?" Register here: meetup.com/baltimore-ux-m…

Love how #JustinaMiles got people talking about how great it was to have an energetic #ASL interpreter for the #SuperBowlHalftimeShow. Hope this opens up more conversations about how to improve #accessibility. There's still so much work to do! #le4afc02nnps38gq9l" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fox5dc.com/news/rihanna-s…
