Show notes
Back in 2015 we were lucky enough to meet up with Whitney Hess during her summer vacation in Sweden. In this classic episode we talk to Whitney about her journey from “producer of wireframes” to coaching UX-ers.
How do you design yourself? How do you give yourself permission to do your best work?
“You need to stop doing the things you don’t want to do. If you don’t want to do wireframes, stop doing wireframes.”
We talk about personal journeys, coaching, communication, humanising UX – seeing your “users” and the people you work with as human beings.
