<\/a>My book on multimodal design<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Conversational designs don’t exist in a vacuum. Most conversational designers have to wrestle with multimodality: the use of multiple input or output modalities simultaneously or sequentially as part of an interaction, in addition to the conversation itself. In December 2020, my book Design Beyond Devices: Creating Multimodal, Cross-Device Experiences<\/em> was released by Rosenfeld Media. I am the first author in the industry to provide concrete models and guidance for blending voice user interfaces with other modalities at scale in a dedicated format. For more information on my book, see my author case study elsewhere on this site<\/a>, or visit my book page on the Rosenfeld Media website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My work on conversational UI has been featured multiple times on Medium’s homepage, and my piece exploring politeness in conversational user interfaces was given top placement on Medium’s site in May 2018. In addition, I’ve had several pieces featured by the official Microsoft Design publication and Prototypr.io. Some of my key pieces: (see all of my work on Medium, including pieces beyond conversational UI, here<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n In February 2017, my workshop “Giving Voice to your Voice Designs”<\/strong> debuted as a half-day workshop at Interaction ’17 in New York City. Since then, I’ve presented the workshop to hundreds of people in over a dozen cities around the world – demand was so high I founded my company, Ideaplatz<\/a>, to officially facilitate this outreach. I’ve now delivered that workshop in direct and remote formats on four continents and in over a dozen countries. For more information about my voice design workshop, see the Giving Voice to Your Voice Designs page on the Ideaplatz<\/a> website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the release of my new book, I’m now launching a Multimodal Design Fundamentals<\/strong> workshop series, which includes a lighter Multimodal Voice Design<\/strong> masterclass for existing voice designers looking to layer multimodality onto their existing conversational designs. This workshop was first delivered at UxLX Masters 2021 to strong participant feedback.
