The Sideman Designer Tom Jepson

Thanks for coming back! I've surprised myself here. I wasn't actually expecting to bring the podcast back at all until later in the year. But, such is life; full of surprises. Box of chocolates something something...

This week; why I haven't been reading enough and why you should read more.

This episode - the TENTH in Season 2 and the TWENTY-FIRST overall! - holds another Creative Conversation.

This time, I sit down with GVDS and Dallas Design Sprints founder Robert Skrobe. We talked about Design Sprints in general, the GVDS event, bringing communities together, and what might be next for collaborative design activities. Robert gives us some amazing insights into how he thinks about Sprinting - there are a couple of great takeaways that might improve your own sessions, too. He also turned the tables on me and dug into my experience during GVDS, which I was more than happy to share!

Enjoy the episode.

EPISODE 20! Amazing stuff. I wanted to bring you another Creative Conversation this week, but the Tech Gods were conspiring against me. Instead, you've got a brief ramble-cast to get you to work. I chat GVDS, Death Stranding, 'The Power Of Moments', and consider why you need to tie your shoes before you leave the house (or something to that effect!)

Welcome back! This week I had the opportunity to sit down with my good friend Helen Joy - UX researcher, speaker, and tech community advocate - to talk about the work she's doing right now, the state of our communities, and inclusive design. It was a long-overdue chat; we could have gone on way longer than our hour. There'll be a Part 2 at some point...

Enjoy this episode of The Sideman Designer: Creative Conversations.

Check out that clickbait title! Seriously, though... I don't believe that 'effective multitasking' is a possibility even for the most self-aware, personally in-tune amongst us. This week I had a short conversation with myself about feeling overwhelmed and how, when trying to cram too much in, we limit our capacity to do our best work.

In this episode - the latest in the Creative Conversations series - I sit down with online educator, speaker, and writer Stephen Haunts. A tenured software engineer, Stephen runs his own business creating courses for Pluralsight along with writing books on technical (and non-technical) subjects, speaking at conferences around the globe, along with running his own podcast 'The Side Hustle Success'. It was great to talk to Stephen at length about technical education along with a number of other very interesting topics
