Fighting the urge to “own” the designChristina York

The mission…

@UXtina #sharedesign

The challenge…


What we wanted to do…- Facilitate decision-making- Enable design participation at

the appropriate level- Be perceived as a teammate

and not a “design owner”

The plan…


1. Level-set

2. Opportunity & risk assessment

3. Participatory design

The execution…


How to collaborate:- Sketch what is known together - Brainstorm opportunities and risks (individual or

group activity)- Place opportunities (yellow) and risks (pink) at

relevant places in workflow- Discuss

How to facilitate:- Stay neutral- Focus on listening- Never assert expertise- Ask a lot of questions- Guide, don’t decide

The fear…


The outcome…


The lesson…


The change…


The moral…


The gratitude…
