Who am I?
I've been a UX Designer and Digital Designer for 25 years. I've won various awards for UX design including a Webby Award & W3 awards for projects I've designed. I run a UX and App Agency called AppNative and in past was the Global Creative Director for Appster, and the Head of Digital/Creative at Village Roadshow. I became interested in UX design and digital design in the 90s when the web was becoming popular, I worked on some of the first touch screen displays for Toys R Us in the 90s and some of the first iPhone apps when the first iPhone was released. I've designed Apps that have been valued at over 200mil, and designed games that have sold 7 million copies. I've been a UX designer, managed teams of UX designers around the globe in my career and I love everything UX and design.

2. #272 Onboarding with Krystal Higgins
Why this podcast?
This is one of the best podcast episodes I've heard, talking through Onboarding and the challenges. Recognising areas that need improvement in a flow is crucial to getting the best results, and onboarding can be one of the most important parts of any flow. If your users don't make it through onboarding then you're not going to grow your user base and this episode has some great insights into how to optimise your onboarding flows.

4. How streaming services design interfaces to keep us watching
Why this podcast?
This one is an unusual pick but I found this episode really interesting. The podcast is made by Adobe, the behemoth that recently bought Figma, but don't let that put you off it's a great show. This episode in particular covers how streaming services keep you watching, and the tricks in UX they employ to maximise screen time. It's really engaging and opened my eyes to things like retargeting, which accounts for why I get shown shows matching things I've seen recently on other social platforms and vice versa. It's scary stuff.

On just one day this spring, at the height of global stay-at-home orders for Covid-19, Americans watched 27 billion minutes of streaming video. Dozens of online streaming services court us with an ever increasing amount of television and film content. And yet, more streaming services are coming online. But in the battle to win over subscribers (and our subscription dollars), how much of a role can good UX interface design play in crowning a video streaming champion? Does the best interface matter, or is content truly king?
In this episode:
The Wireframe team get together online and try to watch a TV show together using Scener, even though they all live in different parts of the continent.
Wireframe producer Dominic Girard and host Khoi Vinh trade thoughts on the UX of streaming.
Daniel Strickland, CEO of Scener, explains how they've designed a user experience that is basically bolted on top of a video streaming service's own UX.
Then, CEO and UX designer Thomas Williams of Ostmodern; streaming video analyst and reporter Dan Rayburn; and writer Suzanne Scacca use a few examples of the Netflix and Quibi interfaces to explore how each platform is trying to attract and retain subscribers.
We then discuss why Netflix is considered a gold standard, and whether or not Quibi is doomed to fail - or is just getting warmed up.
Read the PDF transcript of this episode.
Wireframe reveals the stories behind user experience design and how it helps technology fit into our lives. It’s a podcast for UX/UI designers, graphic designers, and the design-curious. Hosted by Khoi Vinh, one of Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People in Business.

5. #22 Design Feedback vs Design Critique
Why this podcast?
This is an fantastic one. This episode helped me improve my own feedback skills when briefing the designers in my team and also how to recognise bad feedback when I get it from clients. Really makes you think about how to encourage the right feedback in meetings. So many times a client will say something like 'It needs to pop' or they will try to get more stakeholders involved to help make a decision which often leads to just more chef's with more ideas and tastes complicating things. Essentially as a designer you are trying to guess what is in the clients head, what they want to see. It isn't always the best design they want, often they already have something intangible in mind they are trying to get you to hit, so getting a strong brief and mood board together can save heaps of time, and asking the right questions during feedback can be essential to hitting the mark.
