The digital product design space has to be one of the fastest moving sectors of design, and Daniel Wearne sits smack bang in the middle of it. With a decade of design experience in the tech startup space and degrees in Computing, Multimedia, Game Design and Computer science Daniel shares some hugely valuable insights, principles and processes that he is using with his team to build some of the most forward thinking, hi-tech and also hi-empathy apps on the market. During our chat we cover a lot of ground starting with dissecting the multiple up and coming built for purpose programs being used in product design. We go granular and talk the importance of workflow when working in a team at a fast pace, and Daniel gives us some of the current tools and programs his team is using which are changing as rapidly as the industry itself. We talk about some of the principles behind product design like the collaborative process, iteration, being outcome driven, and testing often. We get some great insights from Daniel around what he’s learned along the way, like how done is better than perfect, shipping fast and learning as you go. I even ask who the heck names the eccentric and unusually sensual named programming languages and we uncover what human centered design truly looks like in a real world example not just as a buzz word.
