The act of being able to describe the design is more most more important to me than the design work that the person has done itself. I'm wondering from your perspective maybe you can evaluate or teach empathy or feel like you can. What is it about a developer that's not the technical work what is it about how they present themselves they talk about it or communicate about it that really stands out to you.
I had the great honor of being invited back to An Event Apart Denver (2019) to record a live podcast episode with Mina Markham, Farai Madzima, & Derek Featherstone on the important topics of Accessibility, Design Inclusion & Ethics, Hiring & Retaining Diverse Talent and Landing a Job in UX. Amazingly, we were able to cover all of this in just under an hour!
