XpoNorth Podcast #011: Catalina de Leon: Product Designer at Feedly

Information overload can be a significant challenge for all of us as we are exposed to more and more channels of communication through “always on” devices. Managing, filtering and prioritising that can be a struggle, but we do it as best we can because of FOMO “Fear Of Missing Out”. But why is it when we are asked to write a blog or produce content for a social media channel we can struggle to find the right material to share or inspire us.

Tools that help us with those challenges are emerging. One of them is Feedly a sophisticated news and information management tool that incorporates AI to make both filtering more effective based on your preference but also to alert you to what may be valuable sources that you do not know about.

With its integration into other digital tools it can be a powerful awareness and sharing tool for an individual and an organisation.

Catalina de Leon is a product designer at Feedly, and based in Buenos Aires in Argentina. She explains how Feedly works and why we should consider using it. She also speaks about her work as a designer, how to employ “Design Sprints”, and how Feedly is likely to develop into the future with her design guidance.

These podcasts have been curated by XpoNorth to highlight the potential for digital tools to help you work smarter better and more efficiently.
