We are taking a break this month to get ready for the holidays, and what better time to revisit Goal Setting! Get ready for our hot takes on New Year's resolutions and learn more about how we set goals. Hope everyone has a relaxing holiday season, and we look forward to seeing you in the new year!

We had a fantastic time hosting our Unconventional UX Blueprints workshop at UX Y'all this year! In this episode, we recap the workshop and the experience of engaging and building community. It was a truly fun and heartwarming experience. Take a listen and we'll be making the guidance available online soon!

UX Y'all is still working on getting us audio from our workshop, so no new episode this week, BUT we have a special re-release! This one is all about speaking at conferences, specifically using our talk from UX Y'all 2 years ago. Hope you enjoy!

We’re kicking of Season 4! We have some fun updates to share about the UX IRL podcast. And UX Y’all will be here soon! We also share more about the workshop we’re facilitating. While the conference is sold out, there’s a waitlist you can join. But we hope to see you there!

In our S3 finale, we talk about how to set boundaries at work and our personal lives, and why it's especially tough for UXers to do this. 

Michelle and Mary Fran are taking a break this week, so enjoy this re-release all about Modified Delphi Card Sorting!

As UXers, creating consistency is often a tenet for the experiences we create. But is there ever a problem with consistency? In this episode, we talk about scenarios when consistency can do more harm than good. Do you have any examples of when consistency was bad? We’d love to know!

In this episode, we explore the RACI matrix for project management and why we think it’s the worst. Learn about RACI, how it falls short, and what might work better for UXers and product teams. What’s your take? We’d love to know if you aren’t a fan of RACI either and if you’ve tried other alternatives. Feel free to reach out to us on LinkedIn.

We're back with another installment of the UX Help Desk! Reddit continues to provide a plethora of great questions, so we pulled a few to break down that cover topics like how to transition from start up to eneterprise and red flags in in the interview process.

We look at the UX of something IRL - home automation! We cover the basics of home automation, some advanced experiences you can create, and how to design them using your UX skills. We’d love to hear from you, reach out to us on LinkedIn (michelletchin, maryfran-ux).
