🚀 Proud moment! My latest Brave UX episode is already #3 in views among the last 30 episodes with the fresh new look — thanks so much to everyone tuning in and sharing.
The energy is building as I prepare for the Sorbonne talk next month — stay tuned for more exciting insights on tactile UX and design innovation!
🎧 My Brave UX episode with Brendan Jarvis is out now.
We recorded it before UX Now officially launches at Return to Sorbonne — so it captures an important moment in my journey.
In the episode we discuss:
• The early roots of Unique Ways of Prototyping
• Teaching as a form of prototyping
• The trajectory from Oxford, TED, and Sorbonne — and what came next

Over the past few days I’ve shared throwbacks to some of the most impactful voices I’ve hosted—Jessica Hische, Karim Rashid, Don Norman.
All of them, in different ways, touched on the same question I explore in my new white paper:
What happens to UX when we lose touch with the physical world?
I wrote more in:
đź“„ UX Now: Tactile Innovation in a Digital World
And I talked about it on one of the most-viewed Brave UX episodes this month.

“What if the future of UX is analog?”

I’ve been thinking a lot about how we design—not just the outputs, but the process.
In my new white paper, I argue for something simple:
🟨 Sticky notes still matter.
✍️ Sketching is thinking.
🧠The physical world teaches us things screens can’t.
Over 1,000 people have already read it.

I also spoke about these themes on Brave UX. That episode’s now trending.

“Analog UX isn’t nostalgic—it’s necessary.”
From TEDx to Brave UX to the Sorbonne, I’ve found that some of the most innovative design work happens away from the screen.

Design isn’t neutral — it’s decisive.
On Brave UX, we talked about something subtle but critical: how poor typography in election ballots can lead to real-world confusion.
This clip from the episode has been quietly resonating — thanks to Brendan Jarvis for surfacing this moment.
