Surviving UX

It's the final countdown! Join us for all the conference fun 1 day before, 2 hours before, and 1 hour after our talk at UX Y'all in Raleigh. 

Nearing the finish line! Is our stress a manufactored crisis? Perhaps a Meg-ufactured one? We forge on and share reflections on the final, tired days of prep. 

We continue to collaborate on our conference talk and ponder: After all this time, how could we be learning new things about each other? What makes all this effort worth it? And, this is going to be fun, right? Right?

We continue to prep for UX Y'all and the rewriting and second guessing is in full swing! This week we talk about nervously crafting slides and talk tracks: What's gonna hit? What's gonna land? 

In a few short weeks Jessamyn and Meg will present at UX Y'all. Will we get the presentation done in time? Will our friendship hold out? And what is it like to get ready for such a UX professional extracurricular? 

What would you do to save your most precious notebook? Is the remote-worker promotion penalty real? How many chicken nuggets can your AI order? 

How do you move from mocks to strategy? Does anyone appreciate UX consultants? Courtney Campbell joins Surviving UX to talk about her big switch to UX strategy and why she tells designers to get out of Figma.

What happens when you stay at the same company for over a decade? Do you feel represented by UXPA or Figma's communities? Joshua Ledwell joins me and Meg Cramer to talk about staying put.

What sets you off? Have you ever had an emotional freak out at work? Does it matter if we stay professional or is okay to cry?

UX research practitioner Troy Effner joins the podcast! What is work like after a dyslexia diagnosis? How might you sell your super powers to the business? And where can you look to find what nourishes your brain?
