Video of the Week: Erin Moore - Convenient Fictions - Web Directions

Video of the Week: Erin Moore – Convenient Fictions

Ricky Onsman

4th November, 2016

When Erin Moore gave her talk at Web Directions in 2014, she was Senior UX Designer at Twitter. She has since moved on, but many of the insights she delivered came from her work with the social media giant. Her topic was time, that concept that measures our personal lives, dominates our working lives and seems sometimes to enslave us.

It’s not a particularly technical talk, but cuts to the heart of how we do what we do, why we do it, and – inevitably – how we could manage our time better. As such, it’s a great lead-up to next week’s Direction 16 conference.
