ROBINE STEPHENSON Practice Director - Experience, Design, & Digital at 10collective
It’s an absolutely fundamental
characteristic of anyone who is
interested in this discipline to be curious & self motivated to learn.
“

TIM EVANS Head of Design at My Local Broker
Empathy, not sympathy. Truly great
design happens when design teams
not only care but truely understand
the people using the system and the
context in which they use it.

Learn business politics, especially
at big hierarchical organisations.
Accept that you may not agree with
stakeholders, but they need to be
heard.

LUKE JERMY (Formerly) UX & Product Lead at WeAreDigital
Self efficacy, it’s a big thing.
Empowering yourself. And it comes
down to self empowered
communication. What we do is all about effective communication.

HARRIET WAKELAM
Director Human Centred Design at IAG
Learn to talk about the craft in
the language of others.
Be prepared to justify your design.
Articulate. Stakeholders need to
understand the process.

AMIR ANSARI
Head of UX at DiUS
Designers are not owners of design, they’re facilitators of the design process. This includes collaborative design sessions. We’re all in this together.

KATE GOODWIN
User Experience Lead at NSW Justice / Matchbox Studio
Be humble. Don't fall in love with your ideas. Be open to constructive criticism. Learn from mistakes.
UX is in your blood and bones.
You have a voice & play nice.
You are an empathy sponge.
curious, passionate, proactive, driven, hungry to learn
present, facilitate, challenge, co-design, listen, no ego
advocate for users, business savvy, aware of constraints

the right mindset checklist

“JULIE ZHUO
Product Design VP at Facebook
Self awareness means the person is reflective…
@kristinmark | 35
And when you have the self awareness you have the proactive drive to learn and get better.
Look at yourself as a product. UX yourself. Iterate… Change and pivot along the way. Keep reflecting… continue to build and grow.
PHIL WALTERS UX Manager at MYOB

If you think the job of a designer is sitting
in the corner with your headphones on
and doing what other people tell you,
then you’re wrong…
@kristinmark | 37
“ Being a designer
is a stupid job to have if you can't deal
with people.
MIKE MONTEIRO Design Director at Mule Design
Author of Design is a Job; Editor of Dear Design Student

and goals.

Some people learn by reading. Some people learn by talking. Others learn by doing. Work out how you learn and do that a lot… a lot, a lot, a lot.

HOMAXI IRANI Global XD Practice Lead at HeathWallace
(UX) is all around us ... pick up something that exists that you think you can improve and run with it. Identify the problem. Do some sketches. Test on friends. Sketch again, try new ideas. Prototype.”

WESLEY NOBLE
From “Advice from UX Heroes: 9 Golden Nuggets”
Pursue what you enjoy doing. Too many
people go along with the flow and only
take opportunities that are offered to them.
You have to get out there and make
your job happen.

be shy.
