Hugo Nickols from Bunnyfoot
How can we use our knowledge of the human brain to become better designers? Come and join me as we delve deep into the workings of the human brain and explore how our knowledge of human perception can help us become better designers. In this short talk we’ll look at:
If you’re a generally curious person, you judge the designs made by others (for your job or just for fun) or want to improve the impact of your designs, maximise conversions, optimise landing pages, and create effective dashboards and adverts – this talk is for you!
Hugo joined Bunnyfoot in early 2018 as a Consultant, bringing a huge amount of knowledge of both the financial services and charity sectors to the team. Since coming on board, he’s gained extensive experience in conducting usability testing, diary studies, workshops and other UX research methodologies.
In his spare time, Hugo likes playing squash, tennis and taking on hiking trails like the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. He’s also a bit of a sci-fi geek and will share his movie knowledge with anyone who asks.
Hugo studied Psychology at the Institute of Psychosynthesis, prior to this was working as a researcher at the Institute of Philanthropy. After running the research function of a listed Executive Search business for a few years, Hugo wanted to move into a more creative role – which led him to Bunnyfoot. Just some of Hugo’s recent project have been for EDF, Tesco, Sky, Pentland Brands and the Lawn Tennis Association.
Rolf Molich from Dialogue Design
Rolf Molich presents specific examples of ambitious goals for UX maturity which UX professionals can strive for in their organisation. The goals are presented in the form of two scenarios or stories about personas who work for, or are customers of Delta Market, which is a fictitious chain of supermarkets that has reached the highest UX maturity level according to generally accepted UX maturity models.
David Bailey from The BBC
Coming soon
David talked about the BBC’s UX&D department - its structure, its culture and how its user-centred practice is influencing the ongoing digital transformation of the BBC.
Chris Burns from English Institute of Sport
We all want our teams, products and services to be user-centred, but making that happen consistently, is difficult. We all have our biases and make assumptions, often without realising that’s what we’re doing. In this talk, Chris talked through some of the challenges that he and his team faced whilst creating a range of products and services for Team GB’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes, coaches and support staff.
Khash Faiz from Sky Bet
How users find what they’re looking for is fundamental to their perception of ease-of-use of a system. Where a user would expect to find something is based on their past experiences, interactions with other systems, and might not be logical. This talk provided a detailed and honest explanation of the research & design process of an on-going project to improve the high-level navigation of Sky Bet. The talk also touched on some high-level insights into ethics at Sky Betting and Gaming as a betting and gambling company.
Iannish Posooa from what3words
What’s a design system: We’d cover a brief history and benefits of design systems. We’d also frame it in today’s context by linking design language and technical flexibility. Choosing the right framework: This is actually 30% of the job as the users, workflow and tools you use will dramatically affect the end outcome. Building it: Most design systems are made from and atomic structure of Principles > Styles > Components > Patterns and here’s why. Sharing your design system: How do you make what you have created as accessible as possible Internally and externally.
Mårten Jönsson from Google
Mårten Jönsson is a Senior Design Manager at Google, leading the Android UX team in London.
