Mobile UX Design workshop

Vincent Baskerville

This was for a 2 hour workshop session, which covered various LEAN user experience methods and showed how to actually apply the principles to our projects. Designing great experiences is one thing, delivering them is another. Lean UX is a method to help us deliver faster so that we can learn faster and improve our products. In this introductory class, you will learn the principles, processes and tools of the Lean User Experience methodology, and how to apply these principles to your projects to rapidly deliver improvements - no matter the size of your budget or team.

This is a deck for the 90min workshop given at ACE! Conference (http://aceconf.com) in Krakow, Poland. This workshop will explore some real life team situations that small teams and solo UX practitioners work in, walk you through a UX Strategy canvas thats small and agile enough to not feel like you're bringing 'process in for process sake', but powerful enough to actually track, measure and learn how to continuing building great products. The goal of this talk is to arm every attendee with better tools and knowledge by creating a personalized plan for their UX practice. This workshop is less about generating design artifacts, and instead focused on ensuring the problems, assumptions and success criteria have been outlined that would then lead feed into how the designs would be created & iterated on.

UXD lesson 1 - Intro To UX

Vincent Baskerville

This was one of my talks for goto; conference in Zurich When delivering mobile solutions, many people often try to bring a 1-to-1 mind-set of analytics to mobile from their desktop-web experiences; however, mobile is too young. Although not in its infancy, it's still much like the wild west. Before planting analytic hooks into our mobile applications we must understand the story first before mining for data — there's more besides just focusing on the physical limitations. This session will present 6 mobile metric categories that will help you make decisions on how to forecast what features to cut, expand or attract more attention with.

Mobile, Metrics & Mayhem

This was one of my talks for goto; conference in Zurich Designing Happiness isn't just about proper pixel placement, fancy animations or unnecessary mobile gestures. This is about trying to genuinely understand that our users aren't just "click's or views" and instead people with complex emotions. User Experience Design is a wrapper that contains the vision, strategy and overall design in mind while going through the stages of building a product, and as digital professionals we can use Maslow's hierarchy of needs to re-map the emotional connections to our products.

This is my slide deck for my talk at Digital Atlanta 2012: http://digitalatlanta.org Many companies can trick and persuade users to sign-up for their product — which is usually true for every product with a free trial; however, most people will only use the product a few times and forget about it. *Customers* are the result of a series of events. Building systems with interactions that is capable of sustaining a user’s attention both to other users and the locality of its use, requires the consideration of a strong UX strategy. This presentation will give a few insights and tactics on ways to help increase your user engagement and create brand ambassadors.

Small UX teams have unique challenges. Knowing how to deal with having fewer resources and possibly feeling creative isolation, or worse organizational ignorance and/or hostility. This presentation will explore some real life team situations that small teams and solo UX practitioners work in, and show what you can do about them. The goal of this talk is to arm every attendee with a few successful strategies and methods to help positively shape their company culture so you won't be a UX-er of one anymore.

Being a UX team of one: Understanding strengths & weaknesses

Vincent Baskerville

This was presented at the Penn State Web 2012 Conference. With the flood of consumers using various media devices, web designers & developers now have to try and create products that will retain the same aesthetic look & feel on multiple platforms. With the screen real-estate ranging from a 27″ desktop monitor, 13″ laptop monitor set at a 800×600 video resolution, tablet devices like the iPad, and a plethora of mobile phones with a wide variety of sizes. However, by taking advantage of some of the new syntax, creatives can create a dynamic website that can alter a pages’ visual layout while still maintaining control of the overall user experience. This presentation will help explain the importance of why it is necessary to plan ahead to build an adaptive website versus just 'getting it done'

CSS is an amazing language that keeps evolving and incorporating more and more awesome features; however, utilizing LESS will extend CSS with dynamic behavior like variables, mixins, operations and functions thus adding even more *awesomeness* to this language and smoothing out your workflow. This presentation will take you through utilizing web frameworks like Bootstrap, Boilerplate in your development process and dig into some advanced CSS usage via LESS. In brief, I'll show you why you should be using LESS in your current & future projects, an overview of it's features, make you a pro and show you how to use it with other frameworks.

This was a lightning talk and seed for a concept for a local UX meetup in Atlanta. Basically looking into the processes that go into crafting great experiences for mobile applications. To really think about user experience design, we need to learn and think about everything that involves making the user happy. UXD is a wrapper that contains the vision, strategy and overall design in mind. As thinkers, tinker-ers and maker of things our work gets better the more we study people actually using and playing with our products; it helps to inform, persuade and delight all of us. I would love to spend some time on what it means to delight our audiences.

This presentation will give an overview of some of the many accepted methods of creating a great User Experience on mobile devices. While developing an application for a mobile device, we recognize many of the ‘physical’ differences, ie. a smaller visual real estate, size of text and buttons, etc but we should be cognizant of creating a great experience too. Designing for mobile devices brings some unique situations and challenges, it requires a strategic approach for the User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) composition. This presentation will talk about current trends, challenges, tips to take advantage of while working with Titanium.

Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is the most popular style of large language model application to emerge from 2023. The most basic style of RAG works by vectorizing your data and injecting it into a vector database like Milvus for retrieval to augment the text output generated by an LLM. This is just the beginning. One of the ways that we can extend RAG, and extend AI, is through multilingual use cases. Typical RAG is done in English using embedding models that are trained in English. In this talk, we’ll explore how RAG could work in languages other than English. We’ll explore French, Chinese, and Polish.
