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!

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.

Great event! The multitude of topics and ginormous insights from this conference just filled my grid notebook — I guess i need to buy a new one. Kudos to the team! The energy, passion, insights, and empowerment is worth a million. More power to the UXPH community!

I love the UXPH team itself!! I just feel the teamwork and cooperation being so alive that even though the last days were getting hectic, I get encouraged from my fellow volunteers' energy! Also everyone is approachable so things get done right away :)

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.

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.
