Kim Lenox is (now) a freelance mobile interaction designer, having previously worked with the folks at Adaptive Path. Kim has worked to bring clean, usable design to small displays - everything from fridges to mobile phones. If it’s tiny, data-driven and meant to be understood by humans, chances are Kim has designed something similar! Her workshop focused on helping traditional designers and web practitioners move to creating mobile experiences.
This three hour workshop covered a lot of familiar ground: researching and documenting users’ needs, then mapping those needs to functionality and the prioritisation/placement in the interface. It was really nice to see that some of the core skills we use when designing for larger displays (on the desktop) still apply when designing for mobile. Having said that, Kim highlighted a lot of key things to take into account when designing for the mobile experience, and offered some great insight from her own work.
It was an absolute privilege to learn from Kim for a few hours. Once her slides go up on the web I’ll post a link here.
