• QAuDHD #67 - It’s Probably Psychological
    Sep 15 2025

    It was only after everything was uploaded and scheduled that I realised I should instead have gone with the Creed line "I'm having a little trouble motivating..." for the title of this week's QAuDHD.


    Oh well!


    This week we're talking about how to test Discoverability in your game, and also chatting a bit about self-motivation and (shudders) homework!

  • QAuDHD #66 - He's Trying To Micro-Co-Manage Me
    Sep 8 2025

    And we've finally reached the end of Part 1 for this mini series on UX Design, as we cover off the final design principal before taking a look at how to test against each of them.


    Our other topic this week centres around how to keep in touch with your team at work, either as a group or individually.

  • QAuDHD #65 - I Want My Son To Know The Dealio
    Sep 1 2025

    Sorry everyone! The last couple of weeks have been understandably hectic, but I managed to find some head space (somehow) to get things going again.


    This week I'm talking about processing change (or not) and covering the penultimate two UX design principles in our current mini-series.

  • QAuDHD #64 - It’s Not Fair To These People!
    Aug 4 2025

    We're nearly at the end of this short series of deep-dives into some core UX design principles, but fear not - that just means we can start talking about how to test them soon!


    I also talk about the concept of fairness, why it's so important, and why it's so frustratingly illusive, especially for us neurodivergent folks.

  • QAuDHD #61 - You Saw The Certificates, Right?
    Jul 14 2025

    It's still Disability Pride Month (all month, in fact - weird), so this week I'm talking "pride"... and how difficult that is for me in general.


    Fair warning, I do my best to give myself a little shout-out for my achievements in the industry so far, so apologies if this is cringeworthy.


    But I also continue going through some core design principles as I build towards the "and how to test them" part.

  • QAuDHD #60 - Old Friends, New Lovers…
    Jul 7 2025

    Happy Disability Pride Month!


    It can often feel like a difficult thing to be "proud" of, especially when it generally causes you so much pain and you're so often made to feel like a burden.


    This week I talk about my "imposter syndrome" when it comes to the disability community, as well as differet models of disability and how UX desgin and accessibility can work together to remove some common barriers.
