Designing User Experience Ethos with Karen T. Lin

On this episode of Experience by Design podcast, we welcome Karen T. Lin to talk about recovery the ethos of UX. Karen has a career in UX, trying to make things better for users and, by extension, society. However, UX as a field seems to have lost its way, falling victim to the "tech supremacy" and making things for profit first and not necessarily for people at all. We talk about the importance of reclaiming the ethics and ethos of UX, as well as all experience design and strategy. We also talk about her efforts around #StopUXErasure. We explore the importance of focusing on users, remember the edict to make things better, and why UX needs a professional reckoning.

This is experience by design, a podcast that brings new perspectives to the experiences we have everyday. Does standing in line always have to suck? Why are airports so uncomfortable? What does it mean to be loyal to a brand? Why do you love being connected but dislike feeling tethered to your smart phone? Can we train people to care about the climate? Join Sociologist Gary David and Anthropologist Adam Gamwell on an expedition to the frontiers of culture and business through the lens of human experience. We're here to make sense of the madness with leading psychologists, cognitive and social scientists, entrepreneurs, and business leaders.
