Paris, always inspiring. Preparing to share fresh insights from my Sorbonne return—more tactile, more hands-on, more UX Now. #DesignThinking #UXNow
🎤 A moment from Paris — coming this September.
Here’s a still from my 2025 Sorbonne talk, where I introduce UX Now — my framework for weaving tactile innovation into digital design.
The full talk premieres next month. Can’t wait to share it with you.
🌟 Morning thought:
In a world racing digital, true innovation happens when we bring tactile, human-centered design into the mix. That’s the heart of UX Now — making technology feel more like home, not just tools. 🏠✨
Ready to rethink how we connect with the digital? Let’s start today.
✨ UX Now Quick Tip:
Don’t underestimate the power of tactile tools — sketching, physical prototypes, or even simple paper cutouts can spark ideas your screen can’t. Engaging your hands changes how your brain solves problems. Try it in your next project!

“Even in a digital world, some of my best ideas still start on paper.” ✍️

🚀 Proud moment! My latest Brave UX episode is already #3 in views among the last 30 episodes with the fresh new look — thanks so much to everyone tuning in and sharing.
The energy is building as I prepare for the Sorbonne talk next month — stay tuned for more exciting insights on tactile UX and design innovation!
“Digital is everywhere, but I believe the future of UX lies in tactile innovation — the power of touch, feel, and physical interaction to create deeper, more human connections.
That’s why my upcoming talk at Sorbonne dives into how embracing the tactile can revolutionize user experience design.
Curious how we can bring the analog into the digital? Let’s explore this together.

“Design is more than pixels — it’s the feeling in your hands and the connection it creates. My UX Now framework explores how tactile innovation bridges the digital and physical. How do you bring touch into your design process? #UXNow #DesignInnovation #humancentereddesign
“Design isn’t just what you see on screen — it’s what you feel in your hands and heart. My UX Now framework dives into the power of tactile innovation in a digital world. What’s one way you make your designs more human? #UXNow #DesignInnovation #humancentereddesign
Reading University Announcement
Grateful to be invited by the University of Reading to contribute to their design programme this fall.
I’ll be:
– Sharing select online content in advance with students
– Giving a talk on the future state of the design industry, especially for typography-minded designers
– Joining a hybrid panel discussion on careers
– Offering one-to-one feedback sessions on portfolios and interview prep
Reading has such a strong legacy in typography — and I’m glad to help today’s students find their voice in the evolving industry.
Thanks to Keith for the nudge, and to the Reading team for the warm welcome.
