This month we welcome Laura Parker who’ll be talking all about…
Writing with empathy: how to make software human and relatable
You can design the most beautiful app, but if the copy is hard to read, people will get frustrated, ignore it, and delete it.
In her talk Laura will tackle things like:
- How to keep a beginner’s mind when you’re creating a product
- User anxiety and how to write for users with dyslexia, autism and anxiety
- Reading psychology and how to balance empathy and humour in your writing
- How writers and designers can work better together
This talk is not just for writers or content designers. If you’re a product owner, developer, designer or manager, come along.
