Every job is problem solving. We solve problems, we design things, and everyone designs in their own way. Experience designer and writer Josh Kinal says design is in the intention from the start. If you’re not building something with intention, you are not designing. User experience design, in a nutshell, is creating products with a focus on providing quality and meaningful experiences to users and culturally relevant solutions. Despite his degree in Immunology and Reproductive Endocrinology, Josh headed into the world of entertainment journalism, broadcasting and screenwriting. He created the Boxcutters podcast, the first Australian podcast to be invited to perform live at SXSW. Nowadays, he designs experiences for people using technology. He is a Lead Experience Designer at ThoughtWorks in Melbourne and speaks eight languages well enough to order sandwiches in at least four continents.
