#110 UX Coaching with Whitney Hess

October 01, 2015

We were lucky enough to meet up with Whitney Hess during her summer vacation in Sweden. We talk to Whitney about her journey from "producer of wireframes" to coaching UX-ers. How to you design yourself? How do you give yourself permission to do your best work? "You need to stop doing the things you don't want to do. If you don't want to do wireframes, stop doing wireframes." says Whitney.

We talk about personal journeys, coaching, communication, humanising UX - seeing your "users" and the people you work with as human beings.
