UX Design in the Real World
The document discusses the differences between UX design in the classroom versus the real world. In school, the design process and deliverables are clearly defined, whereas in a work environment the results are dictated and finished products, not just designs, are expected. The document also shares stories of UX designers facing challenges working within large companies and needing skills like relationship building, negotiation, and storytelling to ensure their work makes it into the final product. Soft skills are emphasized as more important than the ability to design the perfect solution every time.
