How UX Designers Work Well With Agile Methods
Episode 18 Show Notes:
Not everyone works well in this type of environment. I personally like it because I see my ideas come to life very quickly. Is an agile process hurting you or helping you as a designer? Or could you adapt? It takes a bit of time to get used to working in agile, and I think it’s like this for everyone when they first start doing it.

Episode 20 Show Notes:
"What people never tell you is if you cold apply, you're put into a pool with everyone else. But if you just know somebody on the inside. That now puts you in an internal referral pool, for you to now be bumped up for a recruiter actually reaching out to you about a job opportunity."
