Sorry everyone! The last couple of weeks have been understandably hectic, but I managed to find some head space (somehow) to get things going again.

This week I'm talking about processing change (or not) and covering the penultimate two UX design principles in our current mini-series.

We're nearly at the end of this short series of deep-dives into some core UX design principles, but fear not - that just means we can start talking about how to test them soon!

I also talk about the concept of fairness, why it's so important, and why it's so frustratingly illusive, especially for us neurodivergent folks.

It's still Disability Pride Month (all month, in fact - weird), so this week I'm talking "pride"... and how difficult that is for me in general.

Fair warning, I do my best to give myself a little shout-out for my achievements in the industry so far, so apologies if this is cringeworthy.

But I also continue going through some core design principles as I build towards the "and how to test them" part.

Happy Disability Pride Month!

It can often feel like a difficult thing to be "proud" of, especially when it generally causes you so much pain and you're so often made to feel like a burden.

This week I talk about my "imposter syndrome" when it comes to the disability community, as well as differet models of disability and how UX desgin and accessibility can work together to remove some common barriers.

It's exam season - even for me! So I'm wishing good luck to everyone taking, or waiting on the restults of, any exam of any kind.

On that subject, this week I talk about how much I generally hate taking exams, why "exam craft" is so ridiculous and why going beyond the test as written is so important in QA.

How 'bout that weather we're having eh? Everyone enjoying the unbearable heat?!

That's right, this week I'm doing the most British thing I can possible do - complain about nice weather!

I also talk a bit about how teaching others is such a great way to further develop your own understanding of a topic.

Oh and it's hot... so very hot.
