Originally from Ireland; now living in Brisbane, Australia. I work in the area of User Experience (UX) and help businesses to understand the strategic value in User Centred Design in shaping meaningful customer experiences across desktop and mobile. I facilitate customer research, collaborative design workshops, focus groups and usability test sessions (with prototypes and UI designs) to gain insights and opportunities for both businesses and customers.
Co-operation at every level of our socio-ethno environments is dependent on trust and reciprocity. Under all sorts of circumstances, co-operation has underpinned and benefitted not only humans, but also many other species on our planet. Research over the past 80 years has studied both optimal and sub-optimal outcomes based on different reciprocal strategies.
A brief introduction to a number of amazing writers and books that focus on human behavior, biases and some left-field thinking on the things that influence and drive our everyday decisions. These books have had a big influence on my own UX practice and thinking.
Since writing my initial blog about intuitive design approaches, I have read a number of additional publications about issues relating to intuitive-based problem solving. To avoid any shortcomings of intuition decision making it’s important we understand it’s limitations and look at alternative ways to solve design and UX problems.
