“One thing I want people to know is that there’s a space for you in tech.” That’s just one of many bon mots from my talk with UX designer Monet Spells.

I talked with her fresh off her first speaking gig at the Pro/Design Conference in New York City. We discussed her presentation, her studies at Georgia Tech, the importance of networking, wearables, world travel, and even tea!

Big thanks to Adekunle Oduye for the introduction!

Episode 51: Rashida White

We're kicking off November with an interview with Brooklyn-based UX designer, teaching artist, DJ, and mentor Rashida White.

“Despite your background, if you are a solution-oriented type of person, you will succeed.” When Rashida White shared that with me before we started recording, I knew it was going to be a great interview.

Rashida talked about her residency at General Assembly, her love for user experience (and why it’s important), and even talked about DJing and music. Even better — we talked about vegan ice cream!

Rashida’s enthusiasm about her work is inspiring, so I hope you get a lot out of this interview!

Eric’s worked for some big companies like Walmart, AOL, and Adobe, and he shared how his passion for design started at an early age. He dropped quite a few gems in this interview, so I think this is one you’ll definitely want to take notes on while listening!
