Dear Liam

As the year rapidly draws to a close, we would like to take the opportunity to send our warmest festive wishes and say thanks for your ongoing support throughout 2019.

In 2020 we're looking forward to sharing some new and compelling content formats, and with that will also come some new voices and topics that promise to engage, enlighten, educate and enthral in all things UX.

We're also continuing our plans for suites of tools and resources for our community of people growing their careers and leadership skills in UX and human-centred design, along with some other surprises that we look forward to sharing with you soon. We'll keep you updated as we go, so stay tuned via your inbox and our social channels for more details.

We really appreciate every one of you and always want to hear your thoughts. If you see anything you think we could be doing better next year — hit reply and let us know!

Until then, we hope you have a joyous, fun-filled and restful holiday season, shared with family and friends.

Dear Liam,

Email subscribers, Slack users, course participants, social media followers and forum members; UX Mastery is a broad community of people.

We''ve recently been doing some long, hard thinking about how we can make all of our platforms and content as helpful and community based as possible, and as UXers we all know a good place to start with that is... research!

We created a survey that thrives on honest feedback and great ideas, and we are keen to know you and how we can help you achieve your UX goals in the coming year.

Please help us to help you with this quick, 5-10 minute survey:

Design Thinking  // UX Indonesia

Hello Liam! 

At the risk of sounding cliche, we''re living in a time with extraordinary challenges; environmental, social, political and economic. While these are difficult to navigate, they also bring a huge opportunity for innovation and technological advancement.  And who is best to solve some of these complex issues? We think it''s you; designers.

We''ve collated this special edition in light of a very exciting webinar that our educational partner - The Interaction Design Foundation - are holding with Don Norman. He''ll be talking about 21st century design and where we fit into it. The details are below, along with some of our favourite resources from our community. 

Enjoy!

Whew! That''s a wrap. See you next time!

Hello Liam! 

We''re almost into 2021!

Last week we shared a few prompts to plan ahead for 2021. On one of the threads on Slack, one member remarked: we don''t know what will happen next year, so it''s best to go with the flow!

Given how unpredictable 2020 was, planning does seem futile. But like everything good and bad, this too shall pass. The future is filled with hope. 2020 showed us that we are a resilient species. And together, we can work around and adapt to any circumstance. Let''s work together and design a better 2021.

Wish you and your loved ones a very Happy 2021!

Write ''Em Down

Resolutions are easier made, than kept. One way to hold yourself accountable for your resolutions is to write them down. Write them down. Don’t type. Put it somewhere prominent, so that you can see and get inspired. You can assign a resolution buddy, who can regularly ‘check’ if you’re keeping your resolutions. Set reminders or alarms. If you are comfortable, make your commitments public. Share them on social media -- we recommend LinkedIn for this. Nothing like a professional network to hold you accountable!

We''ve put together a template to help you plan your 2021. You can download and print it, or simply use it as a reference to create your own version.

What are your #designresolutions2021? Share your design resolutions on the platform of your choice - Slack, the Forum, Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn.
