Improv and UX
summary
Argues that improv techniques—yes and, active listening, non‑judgment, acceptance and exploration—become a UX mindset that builds trust, empathy and faster collaboration; demonstrates quick exercises like empty your pockets and last‑word response to practice them. Gives a concrete product example: three preview designs for an enterprise search redo (modal, slide‑over, slide‑over that squeezes results) and a user survey where the squeeze slide wins by roughly 2x, so stakeholder idea plus testing drives the final choice.
