    ?? Think you can land a job by spending 10 minutes on an application? Think again. One of the biggest mistakes job seekers make? Treating job applications like a numbers game—spraying and praying instead of showing up like they actually want the job. This was a key takeaway from a recent Q&A I did at the University of Washington Human Centered Design & Engineering department (Thank you to Melissa Ewing, for setting this up!). Here’s the problem: Hiring managers aren’t just reading applications—they’re filtering out who actually wants the job and who’s just clicking ‘apply.’ If it looks like you spent 10 minutes on it, guess what? They’ll assume that’s how much effort you’ll put into the role. ? Show me that you WANT the job. ? Show me that you put in the WORK. ? Show me that you CARE. How? Start by actually caring. Yes, the market is tough. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. It just means you have to try harder, be more focused, and put more time into the relationships and application materials that actually move the needle. ?? Want help standing out? I’m running a GET HIRED MASTERCLASS to teach the advanced techniques that are proven to work. ?? Link in the comments. #hiring #showuplikeyoucare #tech #ux #research #design

    How do you see technology—an optimistic force or a dystopian inevitability? In 2023, I created this 2x2 framework to map how films explore the evolving relationship between humans and AI. Two years later, it feels even more urgent. ?? Optimistic vs. Pessimistic – Does the film depict technology as a tool for human potential or as a force of disruption? ?? Virtual vs. Physical – Does the story unfold in digital realms (AI, Web3, virtual worlds), or does it reshape our physical reality? This isn’t just about movies—it’s about the very real AI revolution happening now. Every technological shift comes with both promise and peril. The internet disrupted industries, Web3 challenges centralization, and AI is revolutionizing how humans work and maybe even what it means to be human. ?? The question isn’t whether AI will change the world—it’s HOW we will shape that change. So where do you stand? Are you designing for progress or control? Do you see technology as a bridge to human potential or a force that must be contained? Drop a comment—where would your work fit on this framework? #AI #Web3 #TechEthics #ScienceFiction #Innovation #UX #FutureOfTech

    ?? AI Can Predict Trends—But It Will Never Understand Culture Imagine launching a product in a new country, backed by the latest AI-powered research… but it completely flops. Why? Because AI can analyze data, but it can’t experience culture.

Join us for an exclusive online event: Cultural Immersion in the Age of AI ?? Thursday, March 13, 2025, 11 am-12 pm Pacific / 20-21h Paris (CET) ?? Free Online via Zoom We’ll share: ??

    ?? Can you imagine working every day with your spouse? For most people, that’s a hard No—and I totally get it. ?? When people hear that my husband, Marcelo, is also my Co-Founder at Amplinate, their first reaction is usually: ?? How do you not kill each other? ?? How do you decide who does what? ?? How do you balance your relationship with running a business? And, of course, the classic: ?? I could NEVER do that! Fair enough! Working with your spouse isn’t for everyone. But if you do… it can be incredibly rewarding. The truth? We didn’t have it all figured out from day one. I was a new entrepreneur, and we had to learn (sometimes the hard way) how to: ?? Set clear roles and boundaries ?? Communicate before tensions escalate ?? Carve out time for our relationship outside of work The good news? These same principles—communication, boundaries, and adaptability—apply to ANY business partnership and well-functioning companies. At the end of the day, great businesses (like great relationships) thrive when both partners: ?? Support each other ?? Challenge each other ?? Work toward a common goal So today, I’m feeling grateful. I get to build something meaningful with my partner in life and my partner in business. ?? Happy Valentine’s Day, Marcelo Chinellato! ?????? #Love #ValentinesDay #Entrepreneurship #Business #CoFounders #Relationships

    Are you being honest about your use of AI? AI is transforming how we create, but are we being transparent about its role? As AI-generated content becomes more sophisticated, we face some important ethical questions about disclosing our use of AI: - At what point does AI assistance become dependence? - Should we disclose AI’s involvement in our work—and if so, when and how? - Does failing to disclose AI use erode trust, misrepresent expertise, or even cross ethical lines? In my latest article, I introduce the AI Transparency Framework—a practical guide for assessing AI’s role in content creation, product development, research, and decision-making. This framework doesn’t judge AI use; instead, it promotes intentionality and openness, helping us define ethical norms before regulation forces our hand. If you’re using AI (or working in a field where AI is becoming the norm), this is a conversation we all need to have. - How are you using AI? - Have you ever disclosed your use or non-use of AI? - Do you judge people and content differently if they use AI?

    The Human-Centered AI Manifesto We hold the power to shape AI responsibly. ? We are at a pivotal moment in the evolution of AI. AI holds the power to transform human experiences, amplify creativity, and tackle global challenges?—?but only if it is intentionally designed, developed, and implemented to serve humanity with integrity, empathy, and purpose. It must enhance human flourishing, protect diversity, and uphold ethical values. With Donald Trump?rescinding Biden's executive order on AI Safety, it is up to us, the practitioners,?researchers, designers, project managers, developers, and users to ensure that AI uplifts humanity, bridges divides, and creates equitable opportunities. By aligning our efforts, we co-create a future where AI is a force for connection, empowerment, and shared prosperity. This manifesto outlines principles and commitments to ensure AI remains a tool for human betterment, fostering well-being and inclusion rather than harm.

    Perhaps you’ve been hearing this a lot recently too: “Attention is the new economy.” And it’s true! Attention drives sales, engagement, and growth in today’s world. However, there’s a flip side. Attention doesn’t build trust, loyalty, or meaningful connections. If attention is the new economy, then authenticity is the real currency. Why? Because in today’s noisy world, we’re constantly overwhelmed by competing messages. By companies clamoring for time and attention, often with impersonal, “obviously AI-generated” messaging. On the other hand… Authenticity cuts through the noise. It taps into the real, the relatable, and the trustworthy. Authenticity helps us build the meaningful connections we all desire. It means: ? Speaking directly to the needs and values of your audience. ? Showing up transparently and with integrity. ? Prioritizing relationships over transactions. It’s not about the money—it’s about people connecting with people. Authentically. With integrity. Because deep down, we’re all craving it. Attention might get clients through the door. But what keeps them coming back? Authenticity. The real question becomes: Is your currency authentic enough to build trust that lasts? #Authenticity #BusinessGrowth #TheNewEconomy #BuildTrust #RelationshipsOverTransactions

    ?? Maximizing Impact with Minimal Budget: UX Strategies for 2025 As we approach the end of the year, the urgency to demonstrate value and impact in our products is more pressing than ever—especially under tight budgets. But fear not, there are cost-effective ways to make a significant difference! Here are two powerful strategies to harness existing resources for maximum impact: 1. Look Inward: Dive into existing data within your organization. You’d be surprised at the untapped insights lying dormant in past studies, user feedback, and analytics. Leveraging these can provide quick wins without additional spend. 2. Look Outward: Explore external academic and secondary sources. This not only offers a fresh perspective but also helps validate your internal findings and strategies against broader industry trends. By integrating these approaches, you create a holistic view that can propel your product and business strategy forward. Remember, strategic insight doesn’t always require hefty budgets—sometimes, it’s about being smarter with what you already have. ?? How do you leverage existing insights to shape your product strategy? Share your experiences below! Need some help? I'm happy to help you think through ideas. ?? #UXDesign #BusinessStrategy #CostEffectiveInnovation #EndOfYearPlanning #ProductManagement
