UX is a process of making the invisible - or just ignored - both obvious and actionable. This talk, given at Tradecraft in San Francisco, led students through my personal path to UX practice, and gave them some methodologies to deploy when they begin a practice of their own.
23. whatâs in a store
Your average supermarket carries between 30,000 - 50,000 items
Typical household buys only 300-400 distinct items per year
About 150 of these are âregular purchasesâ that are bought at least once
every 3months... this obviously leans heavily toward food items.
In an average-sized supermarket there are 4,600 display items (Not
including packaging)
Less than 20% of passing customers even glance at a display
Only around 6% take any action**

youâve made.
User Experience Research:
-Who is this person touching your stuff?
-Why are they touching it?
-Where are they touching it?
-What do they get out of it?
-Was it ânice?â
-Did it actually answer their âneed?â
- âŚand do you want it to?
45. So, does our user need
a nicer spoon,
a better bowl,
tastier cerealâŚ
âŚor perhaps some
new friends and
a local bar?
