#18 Sustainable Design in UX with Thorsten Jonas
I had the pleasure of hosting, Thorsten Jonas, who is a specialist in sustainable UX and innovation. I first met Thorsten at an Adobe event many years ago, and since then, he has undergone significant personal growth, including experiencing burnout and realizing that he wanted to pursue his passion for sustainable design. During our interview, Thorsten candidly discusses how to navigate mental health challenges in one's career and how to embark on a new journey where failure is an inherent part of the process. He founded the Sustainable UX Network, a community where designers can learn and connect with others interested in sustainable design. Today, Thorsten is a keynote speaker and consultant who shares insights on sustainable design and its relevance in today's world. This interview is truly inspiring.

#16 Navigating the Future of Freelancing
Freelancing is a future topic and freelancing is likely to become a much bigger topic in the future for creatives due to several reasons:
Remote work: With the rise of remote work and the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more companies are opting for flexible work arrangements. This trend is likely to continue, making freelancing a more attractive option for creatives.
Increased demand for flexible work: Many creatives are seeking more control over their work schedule and lifestyle, and freelancing provides that flexibility. As demand for this type of work arrangement increases, freelancing is likely to become a more popular option.
Technology advancements: With the increasing availability of online platforms and tools, it is easier than ever for creatives to find freelance work and connect with clients. This has made freelancing more accessible and appealing to a wider range of people.
Cost savings: Hiring freelancers can be more cost-effective for companies, as they don't have to provide benefits and other perks associated with full-time employees. This can lead to an increase in demand for freelancers.
Career advancement: Freelancing can provide creatives with the opportunity to work on a wider range of projects, gain new skills, and build their portfolio. This can lead to career advancement and greater job opportunities in the future.

The Metaverse is a buzzword that's been floating around the tech world for a while now, but what exactly is it?

Imagine a kind of 3D internet where users can access a wide range of virtual experiences, such as socialising with friends, attending virtual events, shopping, gaming, and more. It's like a virtual version of the real world that you can access through a device like a computer or VR headset.

#12 Top 8 Ways ChatGPT Can Support UX Designers in Their Workflow
I am going to talk about the ways in which ChatGPT, a powerful language model developed by OpenAI, can support UX designers in their workflow. I am always curious about what these tools mean for UX designers? and I tried them out for different parts of the UX process and I am impressed. Before we talk 8 ways how you can use ChatGPT in your UX workflow
ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI. It is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture, which is a machine learning model that is trained on a large dataset of text to generate natural language text. OpenAI trained ChatGPT on a massive dataset of conversational text and fine-tuned it to understand and respond to natural language inputs. The goal of ChatGPT is to allow users to interact with a machine in a more natural and human-like way. It is a product of the research and development efforts of OpenAI team, with the goal of creating advanced AI models that can assist users in various tasks.
ChatGPT is a computer program that can understand and respond to what people say or write. It's like a magic box that can answer your questions and have a conversation with you. It's been taught many things, so it knows a lot about different topics and can give you information or help you with tasks. It's like having a personal helper that you can talk to through a computer.
How I integrate ChatGPT in my UX workflow:
Content generation aka writing
Desk Research
User Research
Ideation & Inspiration
Prototyping
Wireframing
Summarising
Accessibility Testing

#11 The Power of Storytelling in UX
A well-crafted design can open the door to powerful opportunities. It’s not just about aesthetics; a carefully considered color scheme that resonates with our target audience has an undeniable psychological effect -
think red for power and strength, or blue for trustworthiness. But interactive motion scrolling takes us even further by allowing us to craft engaging stories and offers which build meaningful connections between brands and their audiences.
When done right, it's nothing short of magical!
Apple's product pages are a journey you'll never forget.
For years, they've been using motion scrolling to create an exciting and interactive experience that immerses visitors in the world of their products.
Whether it be watching MacBooks fly across the screen as you scroll or functions being carefully staged for visual appeal - Apple has developed a unique way of story-telling through technology that truly allows us all to discover something new every time we visit!
Here are some cool examples
