Episode notes

The designer says there's always something new to learn. Her best advice for aspiring UX superheroes? Keep learning, but don't stress too much if you feel like you're behind because everyone has different skills that they're better at. Just harness what you're really good at and just try to become competent at most on what you're not good at.

Laura Elizabeth believes developers can learn design. She articulates the importance of reflecting on our users’ needs more than our personal tastes. She touches on how making a product makes us better designers. She also inspires us to always be genuine in our dealings with our customers if we want to build (and keep) trust.
