We talk with information architect Alberta Soranzo about mountains of data, mixtapes, and the digital legacy you leave behind.

Last week, I had the chance to talk with Alberta Soranzo, an Italian-born information architect who’s worked for the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights, the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, and Tobias & Tobias.

She currently lives in London, but is still on the board of Los Angeles User Experience Meetup. She’ll also be presenting at this year’s Giant Conference, June 14-17 in Charleston, S.C. Here, we talk about mixtapes, growing up with computers, mountain ranges of data, and what happens to your digital assets after you die. (MP3)

Find out why slapping gamification on your product without first selecting a genre is the silent killer of your engagement strategy.

Gamification 2.0. Beyond Points and Badges: Designing for Players, Not Metrics. Chapter 3: The Framework
  • The article argues that “adding gamification” without selecting a genre is akin to “adding music” without referencing jazz or heavy metal: a category error that most product teams never realize they’re making.
  • It contends that different game genres are not just aesthetic choices; they are fundamentally different motivational architectures, and mapping your product to the wrong one is why most gamification fails.
