Beckett: I'm so glad to see the conversation coming into the forefront a lot more in fact by the time this airs I will have already released two part episode with Denise Jacobs who wrote a book called Bannister Intercritic. She is brilliant she's just so passionate too like about this subject and wanting to help people through it, Beckett says. "I think actively working on improving the things that maybe you feel you're not great at kind of helps because not everyone is going to be perfect at everything"
Becca Kennedy teaches us how to do UX research on a budget. She encourages newer designers to demonstrate their problem-solving superpowers by redesigning sub-par experiences they use regularly. She reminds us that users are human before they’re users. She also shows us how we can have anything in life we want, if we will just help others get what they want.
