Episode notes

I think there's an opportunity right now for a UI designer at the Hawaiian government. I actually worked on a human factors team, which is kind of a special area of knowledge that came from airplane design and designing the interface to fly planes. Alf Alfons Chappanas was basically the first psychologist to kind of affect UX. And so he basically did put a circle on, you know, he was haptic feedback, which was really smart because they didn't have automation. Yeah. It's a necessary evil and a necessary good, right? Being able to do that.

Cassie McDaniel inspires us to get away from the ‘pick me’ mindset, and to pick ourselves. She challenges us to be willing to kill our darlings so that something better can emerge. She teaches us the importance of knowing our values, but also embracing the fact that they are going to change. She also encourages us to not just do what we’re good at, but do what we enjoy.
