I gave this talk to the Vancouver User Experience group on April 30, 2013. It's about designing technology in a way that builds people's strengths rather than exploiting their weaknesses. Here's an excerpt that sums up the key message - though out of context it may sound a little more Pollyanna-ish than it will if you listen to the whole talk. "What if our work helped people create something they were proud of… or behave more like their favourite teacher… or do something generous for someone else? "What if we just made it easier to sit still and pay attention to your breathing? "What would the world look like if we built more apps like that?"]]>

When was the last time you enjoyed marketing your business? Or even being marketed to? Many of us associate marketing with icky, pushy, inauthentic, and unwelcome sales pitches - but there's hope for the entrepreneur who knows she needs to market her products or services, despite the ick factor. In this workshop, I give an overview of the 3 types of marketing challenges, wax poetic about how to overcome the ick factor, and explain exactly how to design your very own, custom-built, DIY marketing strategy. There is an accompanying worksheet available at http://bit.ly/diymktg.]]>

Drupal is awesome, modules are cool, and writing beautiful code is an art and a science. But if you’re spending all your time implementing client requests rather than asking questions, then you’re replaceable — and replaceable doesn’t make for much of a business model.
