About a year ago (Ep. 34), we experimented with ChatGPT for fun. AI is such a big thing now, that we wanted to revisit what it's like for us as UXers - what we use it for, how you can use it for UX work, and more! Let us know how you've used AI in your work or outside of work. We'd love to hear your perspective.

We're back with the UX Help Desk! Michelle did a deep dive into the UX Reddit and pulled 3 great questions for us to talk through covering everything from designing with real data, recruitiers asking for figma links (!?), to examples of gamification.

If you have any burning UX questions, feel free to reach out to us on LinkedIn and we can address it in a future episode!

We love trying new tools and we're giving Penpot a spin in this episode! Penpot is an open-source, browser-based design and prototyping tool. Sight unseen, we give it a shot. Try it out too and let us know what you think! 

In honor of ADHD awareness month, Michelle and Mary Fran talk about their experiences with ADHD IRL. Topics includ everything from how they got diagnosed, to how it's impacted their respective UX journeys, to advice for those with ADHD and those working with coworkers who have ADHD.

Summer is upon us! We talk about their summer plans and some books we're excited to read. This wraps up Season 2 of UX IRL, and we're taking a break to recharge, brainstorm, and iterate for an exciting Season 3. We hope you have a great summer, and if you're reading any good books - design-related, fiction, or non-fiction, let us know! Have a great summer!

Mary Fran’s team is navigating the world of design systems. She checks in with Michelle, whose primary focus is design systems, for advice and guidance.
