Dive Into Product

In this podcast episode I will share why I left my job as a senior UX designer and why you should also consider other career paths as a designer in 2021.

WWDC2021 Apple's world wide developer conference was on the 7th of June 2021. This could have been an all time most anticipated conference with many leaks and rumours from the apple leaks community and expectations were set high to everyones disappointment. 

We cover that and more on what we liked for the WWDC2021 Day 1 keynote.

Happy 2021, 

In this first episode of season 3 of "Not a UX designer" we will be talking about the Return on investment of good UX design (Or the RIO of design), I will discuss why the companies that focus on design are more successful in any given market.

What are the options for designers when it comes to passive vs active income? Do you have a side hustle where you are working on something bigger than what you are doing in your current job? or perhaps you want to free up more time and work less. I will be talking about your career as a designer and the things you can do to make the shift needed to focus on a Job vs building something of your own.

This is a confrontational podcast episode, but I think this is the alternative designers need to think about when it comes to building a portfolio in 2020. 

In this episode we discuss the launch of the first Design sprint tool, mydesignsprint.io is a tool that is targeted to helping sprint masters, plan run, and capture design sprints all in one online tool.
