Why UX? 58# UX Maturity Struggles Panel - Case 3

In this episode, the panel reflects on the story of a Design Manager who, despite holding that title, wore many hats: project manager, product owner, process consultant, and UX practitioner. After seven years in the role, a key question emerges: how do you carve out a UX career path that lets you focus on the work you truly love — like research, facilitation, and process design — when your experience is so broad?

The panel explores:

• How do you translate diverse experience into a focused UX role?
• What does it mean to find a job where you can actually do the things you care most about?
• And how can you identify organizations that will help you grow toward your vision of UX practice?
