Episode notes

We need to embrace that diversity in the research that we're doing as well. I don't know the differences between a young person and an old person but what I don't understand is how that impacts their mindset about the problem that we're trying to solve right so you know representing that that more diverse perspective in our research is probably the number one way to to make those connections i'm gonna say.

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!
