Happy New Year everyone! We’re excited to kick off the year with our first UX meetup at Phocas 🙌

About Phocas:
Phocas is a business intelligence platform designed to help teams make data-driven decisions with confidence. By bringing together data and people, Phocas simplifies tasks like analysis, budgeting, and reporting, empowering businesses to plan and perform better.

About the talk
Object-Oriented User Experience is an approach to designing digital interfaces that focuses on tangible objects, their properties and relationships, rather than on pages screens or flows.

OOUX can help you to understand complex projects, avoid scope creep, reduce design and development time, and escape common UI bloopers such as “you can’t get there from here” and “you need to leave before doing that”.

In this talk you’ll get an intro to OOUX, a quick tour of the ORCA process for implementing it, and plenty of examples of frustrating UI and how to avoid them.

Who’s talking
Matthew Thomas has been working as a designer for 20 years. He has contributed to WordPress, Mozilla, and Ubuntu, and is now a senior product designer at Phocas Software.

6:30pm • More networking
