Peter Mayer will play a key role in the UX for Good Conference, May 2 – 4 in New Orleans.
User experience designers (UX designers) from across the U.S. are convening in New Orleans to construct models to address two big problems facing the New Orleans music community: adapting its unique artistic mix to the digital economy and ensuring support for musicians who fall on hard times.
The UX for Good team is comprised of: Rob Chappell, VP, Interactive Director at Peter Mayer, Carolyn Chandler – Director of UX at Manifest Digital, Bill DeRouchey – UX Consultant, Brynn Evans – UX Designer for Google+, Ryan Freitas – Co-Founder of about.me, Lee-Sean Huang – Design Strategist at Purpose, John Kenny – Strategic Planning Director at Draftfcb, Jason Kunesh – UX Director for Obama for America, Jodi Leo – Director of UX at Bolt Peters, Tanarra Schneider – Associate UX Director at Manifest Digital, Mark Trammell – Design Researcher at Twitter, Brian Winters – Associate UX Director for Manifest Digital and Mark Wills – Interaction Designer at Hattery.
UX for Good was founded by Jeff Leitner, Founder of Insight Labs and Jason Ulaszek, UX Director at Manifest Digital.
“With each UX for Good event, we’re evolving directly based on what we learn from our participants, partners and most importantly, supporting non-profits. When we gather in May in New Orleans, we’ll continue that evolution, working with the best UX designers in the field today, a non-profit intimately familiar with the challenges musicians face and a city rich with heritage and pride. We’re bound to spark new ideas and solutions using our UX talent, and yet, that doesn’t shock me. I’ve always known UX designers to be bigger than a wireframe,” said Ulaszek.
Partnering with The Grammys and MusiCares, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative, the UX designers’ unique skills and perspective will be applied to the greater good – making sure music remains an abundant and treasured resource in our host city.
