🎧 Episode 2 – A Very Brief History of UX

What is UX, really? And how did we get here?

In this episode, we take a quick (but punchy!) stroll through the surprisingly rich history of user experience — from ancient tools and ergonomics to the digital age and beyond. You’ll learn how psychology, design, and technology intersected over time to create what we now call “UX.”

📜 Expect mentions of Da Vinci, Don Norman, and even a warplane or two.
💡 Plus: fun facts, forgotten milestones, and the one term Steve Jobs didn’t invent (but definitely made popular).

Whether you're brand new to UX or have been in the field for years, this quick dive into the past might just reshape how you think about the present.

🎙️ Design by Experience is a podcast exploring the craft, stories, and strategy behind user experience design. Hosted by a senior UX designer with over a decade of industry insights.
