Design for a Better Philippines

I learned at this UXPH event that to understand that you must take a huge chunk of consideration the user's habits, experiences, habitat and behavior when designing an effective UX design. As a UX designer, you must defend the user's perspective, rather than metrics and etc.

I really appreciate that UXPH put together a free event like this and that the speakers were generous of their knowledge and experience. A couple of months ago, we researched as much as we could on designing for VR and your groups were the only ones who were able to provide the information that we needed, which could apply to us here in the Philippines. I have mad respect for you guys!

I've learned a lot that I can apply to my work. most especially in being an Advocate of Customer Centric Culture, how to measure your design and a lot more. The Speakers are all good! I'm sure that I will attend UXPH events again!

I love volunteering for UXPH! Even though it's my first time to help organize a conference things went smoothly and organized so everyone had tasks to do, so I didn't feel overwhelmed. I'm not a UX professional yet but I feel so included in this org, just like a safe space for all of us to grow in our careers & life in general. Thank you Team!

One important thing that I learned from this year's UXPH event, is that in order for a UX Designer to be effective, empathy should be a driving factor to your decision-making process, and having empathy means breaking your own mental model, so you should be much more open to every social and cultural possibilities of uniqueness, and be an effective advocate of change.

Thank you so much for hosting these community events! I want to be a UX designer and finding UXPH has helped a lot to find resources and people I can look up to.
