Lightweight & Impactful: UX in Action and on a Budget

Constraints within the UX process are a common challenge. Restrictions such as budget, time, tools, and access to users can lead to new ways of producing lightweight yet impactful work.

In this talk for UX Wellington last month, I shared methods and experiments from the University of Arizona. Given that I’m leaving for a position in the private sector next month – improving federal government services – this was a great way to cap off my career at the University of Arizona Libraries and share various approaches we used to scale our work including our tiny cafĂ©, participant pool, and research repository.

The talk is filled with examples of how I implemented impactful UX practices within constraints and on a tight budget. An interactive presentation, participants shared a little bit about their work and the challenges they face. We’re in this together, all.
