Design for a Better Philippines

I like how the speakers gave detailed insights about the different roles that make up a design team (especially the UXR role!). It gave more structure to my current knowledge as I'm a newbie in the UX industry. I'm in my 5th month working as a product designer in a startup (career shifter also) and doing both research and design has been very overwhelming, so I'm really looking for direction. I'd love to join more forums with UXPH!

Just wanted to send you a quick note to thank the UXPH for having me at your conference. It was an honour to speak at your event, and hope to see you again for next years! The UXPH team ran an incredibly smooth event and the speaker experience was extremely streamlined and easy. This is one of the most well run events I have ever attended/spoken at. Huge thanks!

UXPH events are great. I'm grateful I had the chance to hear experiences from amazing people, and it's somewhat refreshing to hear people speaking about different perspectives!

I really appreciate that UXPH put together a free event like this and that the speakers were generous of their knowledge and experience. A couple of months ago, we researched as much as we could on designing for VR and your groups were the only ones who were able to provide the information that we needed, which could apply to us here in the Philippines. I have mad respect for you guys!

Thank you so much for hosting these community events! I want to be a UX designer and finding UXPH has helped a lot to find resources and people I can look up to.

One important thing that I learned from this year's UXPH event, is that in order for a UX Designer to be effective, empathy should be a driving factor to your decision-making process, and having empathy means breaking your own mental model, so you should be much more open to every social and cultural possibilities of uniqueness, and be an effective advocate of change.
