Sketchnotes From UX Australia 2012

The UX Mastery team were in sunny Brisbane last week for the excellent UX Australia 2012 conference. We had a blast and returned home feeling better educated, inspired, and connected.

We’ll write more about what we learned at the conference in a separate post, but in the meantime I thought I’d publish the sketchnotes of twelve of the sessions that I attended. Unfortunately, because the conference contained two tracks, I wasn’t able to attend every session (I’m devastated that I missed Stephen Cox’s talk in particular, as I’m told it was amazing). I’m looking forward to the audio and slides from each presentation being published online in a few weeks.

Here’s the set of all twelve sketchnotes:

Bill DeRouchey:
The Power of Why?
Walt Buchan:
I Love Clients
Tref Gare:
Oh, The Humanity!
Shane Morris:
How I Became Authentically Digital
Lisa Herrod:
Graffiti, Drugs & Rock ‘n’ Roll
Kim Chaterjee and Ruth Ellison:
21.5 Ways To Win Friends And Influence People
Joji Mori:
Memento Mori: Remember Your Mortality
Sam Thebridge:
Teaching Developers How To Design
Joe Lamantia:
Designing Interactions For Big Data
Ruth Ellison:
Designing for Cognitive Disabilities
Tim Horton:
The Rise of the Design-smart City
Steve Baty:
Sources of Innovation

A huge thank you to Donna and Steve, the dynamic duo behind UX Australia. The conference really was well organised and a lot of fun, and I was honoured to be asked to present my What the @#$% is UX Design? presentation on stage before the closing keynote. I had some lovely feedback afterwards, which was great!

My talk is available online if you weren’t at the conference, or just want to relive it! A big thank you to all the people who made so many encouraging comments (either in-person or via email/Twitter).
