Great article from @jkolko on the importance of research stories: " Through stories, problems come into clarity, and so do solutions: it becomes increasingly clear what we need to go do, or build, or change." #userresearch #ux #stories #storytelling #hcd buff.ly/2qn9rNo

As @jkolko explains in this article, think-aloud testing brings more to light than usability problems. It creates an entirely different way for the product team to think about the people they serve. themoderniststudio.com/2018/…

People still rely on news in times of crisis or disaster. How can publications can make sure stories are getting to the people who need them? 1) Listen to readers 2) Build new models 3) Pay attention to who relies what you build, and how they use it themoderniststudio.com/2020/…

“The process of moving from expectation to assertion to fulfillment doesn’t tell us what to build – that comes from creative vision. But the process points at characteristics of how to build it.”
On the way to a great #design strategy is the creation of a series of value assertions: driving statements that guide creative exploration and describe our commitment to our customers. themoderniststudio.com/2018/…

Right now, journalism as an industry is in near-sighted reaction mode: Playing catchup with social media algorithms, and trying to stop the bleeding. Here are a few ideas for publications on what to do about it: themoderniststudio.com/2020/…
