tracy apps is speaking on Designers != pixel pushers at WordCamp Minneapolis.

What inspired or motivated you to give this talk at WordCamp?

i recently saw someone posting an article about being a pixel pusher and i started yelling at my computer screen. so i figured it would be a bit more productive to talk about this in front of people instead. 🙂

How do you “create intention” in your job, career, or life?

professionally it comes down to planning, sketching, researching, collaborating and planning some more. a well planned out site/product will ensure all the elements are intentional, and never just an afterthought stuck together with chewing gum and duct tape. also, not just adding things because “it looks cool” (like, “hey, i could make very thing blink and animate!” nope. nope alllllllllll the nopes.)

If you were a WordPress Plugin, what Plugin would you be and why?

probably Bacon Ipsum. because, bacon.

If you were not doing your current job, what profession would you be in and why?

maybe taking photos for those travel books. that sounds fun.

What professional and/or research resource(s) can’t you live without?

um… the google.

About skarjune

Skarjune was a former contributor on the Make WordPress.org Marketing team, WordPress.org,Training Team, and WordCamp Minneapolis—St.Paul organizing team. Skarjune resigned as Contributor in 2019 after disagreeing one-to-one with both Matt Mullenweg and Joost de Valk over their takeover of the Communications Team without consulting team members. Some members left in addition to the former Leader cast aside, and work by the Communications and Training team was discarded by new leaders . Hopefully, new real Governance will replace Automattic at WordPress.og, which is not WordPress.com. Commercial Corporations should respect Open Source GPL.
