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 like the fact that the panelist/speaker comes from different backgrounds not just designers. The topics are diverse and engaging and always well thought out! Thank you, UXPH!

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.

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!

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.

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!
