How can you manage conflict in remote work environments?
In remote work environments, managing conflict involves early detection of signs such as reduced engagement, increased negativity, diminished performance, and strained relationships. I suggest you allocate time in your calendar for formal and informal check-ins with team members and prioritize active listening. Watch for indicators like withdrawn participation, sarcasm, and missed deadlines. Address these signs promptly through open communication and conflict resolution strategies to prevent conflicts from escalating. Creating a positive and productive remote work environment hinges on recognizing these early warning signals and taking proactive steps to resolve underlying issues.

How can you design for user trust in online reviews?
Trust is key in the digital customer journey. Modern consumers detect insincerity like meeting someone who repeats 'trust me' too often. It's about a review system that reflects honesty and transparency, with clear review standards and balanced insights. Trust is built through every interaction, reinforcing confidence in a brand. It's not just what's said in reviews, but how integrity is maintained. IMHO, trust should be shown or felt, not told.

How can you help a team member who is struggling with their work?
From my experience, empathy is crucial in an aiding struggling team member. Start by actively listening and acknowledging their perspective. Employ clear, frequent, respectful communication across suitable channels like email or video calls. When in doubt, use a good compliment sandwich!

SPD45 took the SPD [Graphic Design] Annual #45 competition bound-book and turned it into an interactive app on the iPad.
My role in the project was to create a back-end database which drives and underlies all the fantastic visuals.
Starting with the Filemaker Pro database files that SPD uses to collect and manage each year's compeition entries, I re-engineered the database to suit the app development needs, then exported, massaged, and cleaned up the data. This data was then turned…SPD45 took the SPD [Graphic Design] Annual #45 competition bound-book and turned it into an interactive app on the iPad.
My role in the project was to create a back-end database which drives and underlies all the fantastic visuals.
Starting with the Filemaker Pro database files that SPD uses to collect and manage each year's compeition entries, I re-engineered the database to suit the app development needs, then exported, massaged, and cleaned up the data. This data was then turned into a working SQLite file that was included as part of the XCode project that creates the app.
In simple terms, I was the Plumber and Electrician on the project - nothing in the pretty app's house would work without my efforts.
The app is selling on Apple's iTunes App Store.
