Wow, this is an incredibly efficient (and beautiful) example of sustainable #packaging. The creativity here is awesome, and I hope other brands take note. There's a lot you can do with a box. Yanko Design #ProductDesign yankodesign.com/2021/01/11/sus…

This piece from Retail Customer Experience makes a great point - don't just invest in flashy features when it comes to your #UX. Really work to get an understanding of what your users need, and create features that fill those needs. #UXDesign retailcustomerexperience.com/blogs/5-key-pr…

There's an interesting idea here about giving features to users before they even know or understand that they need them. When you can tap into users' "natural frequency" like that, you can create really great #UX design. Inc42 inc42.com/features/synci…

As our CEO at gooten, Brian Rainey says, the future of #fashion is #PrintOnDemand. From moving brands closer to a circular business model to helping them stay on top of trends without huge overhead costs, the advantages of PoD are huge. just-style.com/comment/how-fa…

The decision to build Clubhouse on a foundation of audio content was a really smart #UX choice. Audio is inherently a more intimate medium than text or picture, and in today's environment, people are craving that connection more than ever. Fast Company fastcompany.com/90609585/why-c…

Thanks for reporting, @owenrdhughes. I hope the US can move toward a universal right to repair soon. #ProductDesign techrepublic.com/article/right-…

I'm especially interested in seeing how #AR and #VR can shake things up and reimagine how products are designed in this space. UC Today #ProductDesign uctoday.com/unified-commun…

This is fascinating to think about. I feel like everyone I know has experienced video call fatigue in some form, but it totally makes sense that the platform's self-mirroring feature affects women more so than men. #UX fastcompany.com/90625371/is-zo…

Honestly, a great application for #AR doesn't have to be the shiniest or most fun. I think this idea from Apple is a great example of functionality and practicality. #UX wired.com/story/apple-ai…

One of the great things about smart supply chain adoption is that it opens doors to more customization and personalization than ever before. And when leveraged right, those capabilities can be a huge boon to your #UX. wtin.com/article/2021/a…

Women made up over half of all jobs lost in 2020, but as STEM roles continue to grow, I think we can bridge that gap. Thanks for sharing, Joan Michelson - Electric Ladies Podcast, Speaker. #WomenInSTEM forbes.com/sites/joanmich…

I'm a big believer in the power of empathy, and I love this idea of "personal resonance" from Reshmi Neogy. When we can truly resonate with our teams, we make them feel that much more supported. #LeadershipTips fastcompany.com/90623388/3-sci…

Really cool to see Polaroid rethinking their #UXDesign for their latest instant camera. Great example of how to streamline a product and make it easy to travel with. fastcompany.com/90627833/polar…

I can't say enough about the importance of video in a well-rounded web #UX strategy. If you want to drive conversions, create some thoughtful video content that you can include on your website. wilmingtonbiz.com/insights/john_…
