Here’s something we often overlook … Empathy. I know empathy is an overused word in UX, but I am not talking about empathy for customers but for our colleagues and stakeholders, too. Great products aren’t built in isolation. They come to life when we communicate well as a team. When everyone understands the vision and goals, progress becomes smoother and faster. Empathy is at the heart of great communication. It's about listening, respecting each other’s expertise, and truly understanding where everyone’s coming from. I recently listened to an inspiring (and funny) podcast on NPR featuring Alan Alda that explored the power of empathy in communication. I highly recommend it—let me know what you think! https://lnkd.in/ewMNahbH #ux #empathy #communication #design

What Sparks Your Creativity? At Horace Studios, inspiration is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s crafting soundscapes for heartfelt stories or mixing audio for impactful visuals, we’re driven by the moments that ignite creativity. For us, inspiration often comes from the people we work with and the stories we help tell. It’s in the way sound can bring a memory to life or evoke emotions that words alone can’t express. So, we want to know—what’s the last thing that inspired YOU to create? Was it a story that touched your heart, a person who motivated you, or even a simple moment of clarity? Let’s celebrate the sparks that keep us all creating something meaningful. Drop your thoughts below! Let’s keep the inspiration going. #HoraceStudios #CreativeInspiration #AudioPostProduction #SoundDesign #Storytelling

?? Need Feedback on Brainstorm! ?? ??? I've been thinking about ways to explore different VO/VA styles to get some reads into the world. What do you think about this? Idea: #SurpriseSpot Concept: I pick a random connection on LI and make a 15-30 second audio readthrough of notable information from their public `About` section and their tagline. Like a promotional spot, like it was an ad. I'd pick a tone and a background stock music file to pair with it. Basically, a way to #hype my connects with a professional highlight audio spot and get some VO/VA work out there. Edit: I think it'd be best to give them a heads-up beforehand too. How does that strike you? Do you think it'd be cool? Any problems you can envision? I've learned that I'm kind of a "hype man", I love hyping people/things up. So, I'm leaning into it. ??
