Paul Axente, host of meetup group UX City and producer of the
new Design Conversations podcast, joins Tim Keirnan for a
wide-ranging discussion about UX in Romania and other topics,
including:
* UX City's purpose and meetings
* Paul's unique route to a UX career
* The Design Conversations podcast
* Dark patterns in online retail
* Concerns about Amazon's long-term effects on customers and
communities
* Paul's reservations about "corporate command" in the design
process
* Ethics of design
* Customer experience of the video game industry (it's bad) but the
promise of independent gaming companies who design for great games
and for customers instead of only to make money.
* The trap of people confusing tools with design skills. "What is
the best tool for design? YOU are the best tool for design."
