I am a professor at @miamiuniversity and have a message for families this family weekend. Thank you for trusting me with your student’s learning and development. It’s an honor to work with them. Your student’s growth is very personal for me and I never take it lightly. I cheer when your student succeeds. I worry when they struggle personally. I love laughing with your student (and we laugh often!). And I hope for them. For their now and for their future. I have the best job ever—because of your student. Thank you, families.

Wanna design to make memories? Join me online at UX Akron for Translating Theory to Designing for Memorable Experiences on June 25 (it’s free!). Sign up via link in bio. Theory may seem theoretical, but it holds keys that unlock design and research for memorable experiences. During this event, I’ll unpack four theories that explain motivation, systems, and design to give you new insights into researching and creating products, services, and systems. These theories apply to everything from websites to healthcare services and theme park attractions. Join me next week to learn more! #experiencedesign #ux #design

In 1987, I sent a letter thanking @southwestair for an amazing flight experience. 17 days later I received this letter signed “Herb” (and an SWA gift). 12 years later, I worked for Southwest responding to Customer letters like the one I sent ️. I learned many of the Experience Design concepts I teach in @xdmiamioh at @miamiuniversity while at SWA. This letter reminds me how service design can make people feel special when designers take the time to use care (and LUV). #customerexperience #experiencedesign #customerservice #southwestairlines

Day 10/10 of our 16th birthday tour. Tulsa time! Exploring @gathertulsa some @eskimojoes and Independence Day with family (@hartnhevn @ethancolburn13 @hannahcolburn24 @martycolburn !!). What an adventure. We relived memories, explored new places, and met people of all kinds. @sienarbucket and I shared deeply and had a ton of laughs. We return to #oxfordohio filled with stories. Takeaways? Explore with an open mind. Listen and look. Wander. There’s always more to learn.
