Explicit content warning

Episode 17 Show Notes:
We need to take time to think about if the products we’re creating are accessible. We can’t miss out on these potential relationships with people. You never know who could impact from the product you’re helping create. We must consider them while designing.

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.
