The 7 yr old is working on an app that teaches kids programming and she’s alternating between exhuberant joy and murderous rage so yeah, I think she’s grasping the basics of writing code.

The Onion is not playing today.
ALT The front page of The Onion satirical website where every article has the headline: "No Way to prevent this says only nation where this regularly happens." Locations for each article are locations of mass shootings in the past year.
This past week I led an innovation-focused design thinking workshop, the 3rd one since Feb., after a 2 year hiatus. The energy was palpable, and one otherwise stoic attendee used pipe cleaners to make and wear a faux monocle while he brainstormed. So. People are unpredictable.
Experience design #XD isn’t always digital! Best part of my job is talking w/ architects and planners about our physical spaces and mapping out opportunities. I get to be nerdy with data & behavioral psych all day. Work love. ❤️

My office partner-in-crime and I had an afternoon strategy mtg and are repositioning our teams (experience #design and #data analytics) as AaaP…Airport as a Platform…and folding in #innovation for good measure. 2022 is looking good.
After a laborious internal process to even get our team ready for this, we're finally holding focus groups for user #research and - naturally - found that no one wants to sign up for yet another virtual meeting, even if it means getting to vent at us for free.

The nonstop British Airways flight between SAN and LHR is officially back! We were joined on the tarmac today by the British consulate to welcome the inaugural flight after a long COVID pause.

The new Terminal One for @sandiegoairport could start construction next month! 🙌🏽 This is exciting news that will create thousands of good local jobs and a dramatically improved experience for air travelers. ✈️ sandiegouniontribune.com/bus…
When designing a new airport terminal is part of my job, I get to do cool stuff like tour other airports at night to talk about lighting levels and wayfinding. I asked to see Charles De Gaulle, but LAX is good too. 😂
A tremendous amount of time was spent discussing the difference between 23 foot candles and 35 foot candles of light, flat wood ceilings vs baffles, and the joy of a textured column wrap. #nubby

Justin Trudeau nails the distinction between journalism and misinformation in this clip. Impressive stuff. xitter.cf/Ben_Parsons__/status/1…
Youngest brother pulled an April Fool’s prank on me today and I thought either someone was breaking in & I’d have to murder them or I was being haunted by a very aggressive ghost. (Likely the former.) Found out it was him right before he found out I can run faster than he can...
After a year at the SAN airport, today I starting writing an Experience Design & Innovation Master Plan that hopes to bring ecological civilization theories to our org, CX team, and innovation lab. Fancy plans. Why did I quit drinking coffee?? I’m SO going to need it.

Once an entrepreneur, always an entrepreneur...New business plan is in the works! #innovation
My favorite example of designing spaces to human scale was just found in @FHBMagazine’s spring pub on cottages. “...furniture groupings that seat a small gathering rather than spaces large enough for a pride of lions to roam...” 😄 #design #experience
h/t to @HomeWithKatie, author of the article within the magazine, and apparently author of a book I now want to read!
