Design for a Better Philippines

The UXPH event was a talk I never knew I needed, after weeks on working to finish my 1st project, I never knew the talk would inspire me and give me a heads up on the next steps that I should take once I feel like I'm ready to apply for an internship or a job if I'm lucky enough. Truly, an inspiring event.

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.

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.

The talk was very informative, impactful and covers a wide variety of fields. Very relatable to everyone engaged in the workfield, or even among students like us who envisions to be active participants in creating a more design-driven community of this and future generation's workforce.

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 :)
