Design Sprints and Digital Detoxes

Weeknotes from the 28 June 2024

Things I did #

Monday #

I embarked on the grand journey of crafting a high-level storyboard. The goal? To show how our products play could nice together and eliminate the endless rekeying of information.

Tuesday #

Had a session with Performance Analayst, iut was realy useful, and very much like the Google HEART Framework sessions I have run previously. View Google HEART framwork details on the IxD Foundation site.

Also was involved in an Alpha Assessment. The results were positive. We'll take that as a win.

Wednesday #

Had a great ideation session. The ideas were plentiful, the results... to be determined.

Thursday #

Managed to do some more sketches, in an ideation session led by the awesome Interaction design on the team. A rare treat these days. Embracing the design sprint approach, fast and furious.

Rediscovered an old design history tool I created back at GDS. Shared it with the Ministry of Justice. Nostalgia trip successful.

Friday #

Planning for another workshop. Carried out some desk research, and gathered artefacts for a new service designer. Hoping the team doesn't lose hope.

Outside of Work #

Growth Delved deeper into ChatGPT and iOS integration. Who knew AI could be so chatty?

Share Writing a post about digital detox. Because apparently, staring at screens all day isn't great for you.

Creative Kicking off a new side project aimed at community building and connection. Because we all need a little more connection, right?

Focus Spent less time on social media and my phone. It's like discovering a new world out there.

A bit about me: I'm a UCD specialist focused on Service Design, with a passion for accessibility and creating services for all. I navigate the world with a dry sense of humor, finding the funny side in the most mundane tasks.
