UX Fika: Josh Clark and Veronika Kindred
With design especially, the professional is always personal, and Anna Dahlstrom is unrivaled at coaxing out that connection. Big Medium’s Josh Clark and Veronika Kindred joined Anna on her UX Fika podcast for a lively and intimate conversation. (It turns out that Anna, the author of Storytelling in Design is good at drawing out stories!)
Don���t settle for an interview that ���only��� talks about the future of design when you can also get life advice about the Beastie Boys, embarrassing childhood stories, practical magic, and what it���s like for this father-daughter duo to work together.
The conversation dives deep into Sentient Design: the form, framework, and philosophy for creating intelligent interfaces that are aware of context and intent. Josh and Veronika talk about the opportunity to use AI as a design material instead of a tool���to elevate design instead of replace it. They tour a bunch of examples of radically adaptive experiences and talked through several emergent design patterns.
And the conversation turns personal, talking about career choices for the father-daughter duo, what it means to work with family, and their generational perspectives on technology. Josh also reveals the secret of why he’s eaten the same lunch every day for a decade.
The interview is available on the usual platforms, and you should check out Anna���s other interviews while you���re there, too:
