Paul McAleer, "Better Living Through Design"

As UX designers, we seek to relate to our users through empathy and understanding. But what about ourselves? What happens when we take the processes and tools we use in our work in product design and apply them to our lives?
In this lively talk, Paul McAleer shares his story. He'll take you through each phase of the iterative, ongoing project that is his life: research (gathering input from stakeholders), strategy (coming up with an overall goal and plan), execution/experimentation, and getting feedback.
You'll get tips and tricks on paying attention to your own needs, how to encourage a good critique, and other practical tools that can get you started on designing your life and yourself.
