Hi all. I'm de-socialmediaifying. If you want to stay in touch, please find me on LinkedIn or message me on the Design Leadership, ResearchOps, or Designer Hangout slacks. Or if you'd like to listen to my terrible music: soundcloud.com/captainbleep

Oh hai Twitter. Say, if you or your team members need to get skilled up on Axure 9, I've released a Skillshare course to meet just that need. Best for those totally new to Axure, but introduces many V9 features too. skl.sh/2GVcFRc

Overheard conversations in NYC are far more interesting than in Minnesota. #obviousthingsareobvious

I have three active mentees... I guess I don't talk about it very often. I just assume when you get to a certain stage in your career this is something you automatically do.
Mentor people, it's all about giving back ❤ You end up learning from them anyway :)
#youknowyouareindesignopswhen you talk with design tool vendors and one of the first things you ask them about is their MSA process. #DesignOps18
Interested in the talent acquisition/development aspect of #DesignOps? Check this list!

#youknowyouareindesignopswhen you’re on a first name basis with both procurement and enterprise security #DesignOps18
I did my best UX work for a genomics organization. They were VERY concerned about design. Trying to help Drs. make connections between data sets. LOTS of collab sketching, testing, & prototyping. They didn’t care what it LOOKED like; they cared whether it did its job #DesignOps18
#youknowyouareindesignopswhen you open the Sketch license manager more often than you open Sketch. #DesignOps18
TFW you get all excited to read a Medium article from a new designer talking about what they're learning on the job and then you finish and you're all like WTF ARE THEY EVEN TEACHING KIDS IN DESIGN SCHOOL THESE DAYS!?

Out of curiosity, do any of you have recent experience with some good Sketch training that you’d recommend?

That works for me: “service design for your design practice.”
I’ve been saying for years that designers needed to turn inwards and design their own design practice the same way they design their products and services.
I find it hilarious that the word "organically" has become polite business-speak for "it was a complete shitshow."
