Hindsight is 20/20, and over the years we’ve learned a lot from our triumphs and failures as UX designers. In this episode, we share some words of advice that will be particularly useful to newer designers in the field. Our discussion covers a range of topics including the irrelevance of grades in design school, why design is only part of the equation for a successful business, the importance of getting your team aligned on a single plan of execution, and why you shouldn’t be the smartest designer in the room. Also, we react to reports of Slack negatively affecting discourse at the workplace, and the continued saga of TikTok in the US.
