Design for a Better Philippines

It was in volunteering with my particular role that I realize what I actually really wanted to do. While it's not the same with the title I hold now, but UXPH helped me identify what I really liked doing the most! 

Great event! The multitude of topics and ginormous insights from this conference just filled my grid notebook — I guess i need to buy a new one. Kudos to the team! The energy, passion, insights, and empowerment is worth a million. More power to the UXPH community!

As a student who is just starting to explore on my career options, the panel discussion on "Shaping Your UX Career" broadened my understanding of the UX industry. It was especially nice to know the origin story of each speaker, and how each of them were from different fields and just transitioned to UX. This proves to me that it is never too late to pursue anything as long as you choose to do so.

I've learned a lot that I can apply to my work. most especially in being an Advocate of Customer Centric Culture, how to measure your design and a lot more. The Speakers are all good! I'm sure that I will attend UXPH events again!

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!

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.
