This week’s show comes to us from a link shared on Twitter by @studioanisa (Thanks Anisa!) It’s an interview from the Harvard Business Review entitled:

Putting Yourself in the Customer’s Shoes Doesn’t Work: An Interview with Johannes Hattula

We did a whole show on empathy and how important it is for product designers to be empathetic, and it’s interesting that there’s some research to suggest that this may not be the best idea.

Here’s the link: https://hbr.org/2015/03/putting-yourself-in-the-customers-shoes-doesnt-work

It’s a short read, so don’t be afraid to click that link.

The guys are back with another episode. This week Chris and Jon discuss the hypercriticism in the design community. It’s a difficult topic, since everyone has an opinion, but if we improve how we talk about design, maybe others will too! Stick around for another great episode!

Also, if you’re following along, we mentioned a few different shows in this episode:

• How to have critiques
• Starting with why

Also, Jon mentioned a video in his “Good UX of the Week” story. It’s from a talk by Derek Sakamoto, one of the UI designers at Blizzard who worked on their new game Hearthstone! It’s a 30 minute talk from a presentation at GDC, and it’s really good!

• Hearthstone: How to Create an Immersive User Interface

This week, Jonathan spends some time alone (while Chris was out cycling around Northern California) and talks about empathy in design. It’s an important topic that is good for the whole company, not just designers. Stay tuned!
