Our guest today, Nick Cawthon is a veteran UX Designer, Researcher and Strategist based in the Silicon Valley area. We asked Nick in to talk to us about how the User Experience industry is integrating Gen Z and how Gen Z, being the first native users of handhelds, is impacting User Interfaces.

Nick is Principle of Guage Consultancy and Adjunct Professor in the Data Laboratory in the Design Strategy MBA program at the California College of the Arts. He is an organizer for the Interaction Designer Association and Customer Experience Association San Francisco Chapters and does a lot of invited talks at places like Xerox PARC, Google, HeavyBit, PeopleNerds and many others.

Nick shares the story of how drawing and design ignited his passion and then the journey of growing from designer to strategic advisor in many different industries.

As a technologist, Nick provides some very interesting and unique perspectives on AI, how it can help, how it can hinder and even a general attitude that is more productive than viewing it as one or the other.

Nick invites Gen Z to strap on the “jetpack” of AI and use it to show how efficient and effective today’s young professionals can be.
