pieces of advice
that will lead to
to a successful
UX career
What does it take to have a successful career in
UX?
We surveyed current UX professionals to find out! Here are
their words of advice.
“UX process isn't something ‘static’. It's
iterative and it tries to understand the
needs (or desires) of humans. It's all about
stay curious and try: try better, try harder. It
isn't only a few sketches or some flows. It's
understanding process and failure is only a
way to eliminate some possible ways to do
things. So don't be scared about that.”
Franceska Dalsaso
@FDalsaso
“Always do user research. Too often
designers think they have enough insight
when starting a project and they jump right
to wire-framing or mockups focusing on
visual design.”
Erik Wesslen
@erikwesslen
“Be prepared to
fail...
it's a good thing!”
Jackie
@Jackie_UX
“Don't worry about coding, because the
technology changes too fast for you to get
really good at it. Instead, get a good
conceptual grasp of what is involved, build
a working vocabulary, and then learn how
to work with people who do write code and
love doing that.”
Karl Fast
@karlfast
“Get experience working with a vast
diversity of stakeholders and peers.
Communication is critical. This job is 80%
culture, 20% product, and if you think
otherwise, you're wrong.”
Tim Leisio
@timleisio
“When considering UX always put yourself
in the shoes of the user. Keep in mind that
some of your pet peeves in design could
resonate with them, so incorporate that in
your work.”
Rachel
@Rachel_UX
“Steep yourself in content and media
related to your medium, but don't be afraid
to try new things.”
Gabriel Martin
@gabrielmtn
“Remain relentlessly focused on the
person you are designing for. Challenge
conventional wisdom at every chance you
get - assumptions and received wisdom
will fail you almost every time.”
Linda Matthews
@LindainSF
“Make things. Use canvas, clay, code, or
whatever medium speaks to you. Sweat
the details of building a thing and bringing
it into the world. Then use it and ask
yourself how it could be better. Ask other
people to use it and how it could be made
better for them. Listen to their responses.
Repeat.”
Ken Soliva
@kensoliva
Ian Johnson
@enjalot
“Its all about the user. Learn about design
principles and how to interview people.
Understanding the user and what they
want to accomplish is the starting point,
from there its all about communicating
your understanding as best you can.”

  • 2. What does it take to have a successful career in UX? We surveyed current UX professionals to find out! Here are their words of advice.
  • 3. “UX process isn't something ‘static’. It's iterative and it tries to understand the needs (or desires) of humans. It's all about stay curious and try: try better, try harder. It isn't only a few sketches or some flows. It's understanding process and failure is only a way to eliminate some possible ways to do things. So don't be scared about that.” Franceska Dalsaso @FDalsaso
  • 4. “Always do user research. Too often designers think they have enough insight when starting a project and they jump right to wire-framing or mockups focusing on visual design.” Erik Wesslen @erikwesslen
  • 5. “Be prepared to fail... it's a good thing!” Jackie @Jackie_UX
  • 6. “Don't worry about coding, because the technology changes too fast for you to get really good at it. Instead, get a good conceptual grasp of what is involved, build a working vocabulary, and then learn how to work with people who do write code and love doing that.” Karl Fast @karlfast
  • 7. “Get experience working with a vast diversity of stakeholders and peers. Communication is critical. This job is 80% culture, 20% product, and if you think otherwise, you're wrong.” Tim Leisio @timleisio
  • 8. “When considering UX always put yourself in the shoes of the user. Keep in mind that some of your pet peeves in design could resonate with them, so incorporate that in your work.” Rachel @Rachel_UX
  • 9. “Steep yourself in content and media related to your medium, but don't be afraid to try new things.” Gabriel Martin @gabrielmtn
  • 10. “Remain relentlessly focused on the person you are designing for. Challenge conventional wisdom at every chance you get - assumptions and received wisdom will fail you almost every time.” Linda Matthews @LindainSF
  • 11. “Make things. Use canvas, clay, code, or whatever medium speaks to you. Sweat the details of building a thing and bringing it into the world. Then use it and ask yourself how it could be better. Ask other people to use it and how it could be made better for them. Listen to their responses. Repeat.” Ken Soliva @kensoliva
  • 12. Ian Johnson @enjalot “Its all about the user. Learn about design principles and how to interview people. Understanding the user and what they want to accomplish is the starting point, from there its all about communicating your understanding as best you can.”
