This is a special archived episode of Brave UX.
Jesse James Garrett reminds us that once we were pirates, encourages us to understand how soft-power works, and to know and be true to our red-lines.
Highlights include:
- How are UX designers like classical composers?
- What is the role of personal preference in design?
- Should design leaders leave strategy to product leaders?
- Is design leadership about actively resisting the status quo?
- What have you learned as a result of the “no’s” in your career?
