Rikki Teeters, interviewed UX Researcher/Designer and Sound Artist/Healer,
Andrea Williams for Teeters’ book,
Conscious UX
Listen to the interview below:
How did your journey into sound healing begin? And and in what ways does it transform your understanding of what it means to design for the human experience?
You describe your Catnap for Lucid Dreaming as a mindful design workshop, how do you weave UX design principles in an experience that feels so sensory, emotional and dreamlike?
How would you describe lucid dreaming to someone that's never heard of it?
In a world that often prioritizes speed and productivity, how do you advocate for rest, listening and inner attunement as critical design tools?
