IA Summit ‘08 Slidecast: “How to be a UX Team of One”
by Leah Buley
The good folks at Boxes and Arrows have made the audio available from my IA Summit presentation, How to be UX Team of One, and I’ve synced it to the slides on Slideshare. This presentation features lots of tips and tricks for anyone who works as a solo UX practitioner from time to time. It also includes some dirty secrets and ends with a Howard Dean style whoop and holler. Enjoy!

Leah, I listened to the podcast this morning on my way to work and now I know why people were raving during the summit. I’m sorry I missed it in person — I see now how your passion was so inspiring to folks. Good job!

Leah-
Great presentation. After seeing it, I thought you might be interested in this.
The Creative Problem Solving Institute holds an annual retreat to teach the Osborne-Parnes Creative Problem Solving process. A great tool to have in your tool box. It focuses on expansive brainstorming and then focusing on what’s important.
Seems right inline with your process.

Leah,
I am a UX Team of One! I just finished watching your IA Summit ‘08 Presentation. It wholly restored my faith that some people still “give a damn” out there. I’m inspired.
Thank You!

I was just sharing on our internal UX community how the Sketchboards (pg. 31) is a more physical form of a Design Pattern research collection I’ve been evolving. I realized that walking the collection I create might be useful to control a ‘focus’ for introducing ideas, but that it’s too linear for open discussion. So there may be need for a bit of both (the Design Pattern — wiki collections were preferred in past lives — has all sorts of artifacts from best practice research, links, and visuals).
This work is often a precursor to actual display/discussion around a breadth of possibilities, so maybe the two are mechanisms useful for two different ‘phases’ of the process.
What I’ll be looking for next is either a fan-fold ‘flannel board’ throwback, or a reusable ‘roll’ with a container (some semi-permanent structure). Send clues my way.
