Ep. 6—Stay Curious and Open-minded in your Creative Pursuit

Our host’s conversation with Product Designer, Kim Alban, was previously recorded before the TCTLE Office Hours Podcast launched in April 2022. However, their conversation was rich, engaging and full of gems that our host wanted to share on the podcast. Kim’s interest in being creative in multiple mediums and her desire to continually expand her knowledge started when she was a little child. They dive into her career journey, how she kept herself motivated along the way, and other topics.

Question answered on the episode:

Who are some of the creatives you're inspired by? 

@ux.patricia for even delving into the future space and technology.

@samanta.ux for her approach to accessibility & her effort to educate designers on it!

@miguelmakes for his inclusion design lab and the push for inclusive design.

These designers are very inspirational for their pursuits to encourage and remind others that there is plenty under the design umbrella that we need to consider! 

What are some resources you'd like to share? 

I'd love to share my Notion link as it's a hub of XR resources. I update it as often as I can! If you're into the AR/VR space at all, take part in Meta Research panels to stay up to date with research in the field. Also, some of the folks I mentioned above share their knowledge through carousels on Instagram or have created a lab dedicated to inclusion. Follow them at those handles—you won't be disappointed!
