Design for a Better Philippines

I like how the speakers gave detailed insights about the different roles that make up a design team (especially the UXR role!). It gave more structure to my current knowledge as I'm a newbie in the UX industry. I'm in my 5th month working as a product designer in a startup (career shifter also) and doing both research and design has been very overwhelming, so I'm really looking for direction. I'd love to join more forums with UXPH!

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.

The UXPH Conference was a suuuuper well organized and it was overall a great experience. Workshops are still so much more beneficial than just a general conference.

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.

Becoming a volunteer in UXPH was one of the best decisions that I made. UXPH gave me a lot of learning opportunities and resources that can be helpful in my future career. The leads, advisors, and other volunteers are very hands-on in sharing their knowledge with us. Overall, I am thankful in being part of this community! :D

It was in volunteering with my particular role that I realize what I actually really wanted to do. While it's not the same with the title I hold now, but UXPH helped me identify what I really liked doing the most!
