Thoughts on design
I got my start in design by writing about it…a lot. And I still really enjoy writing about it, mainly on my Medium page. It’s my way of processing new (to me) things. Classes, conferences, conversations, and work experiences.
How I became a UX writer
While UX writing/content design is less than 10 years old, it has been around in some way or another for well over 30 years. Yet, it is still an anomaly for UX writing to appear in university coursework, or UX bootcamps that are not specifically for UX writing.
So, maybe it’s time we flip the narrative of the ‘non-traditional’ background and admit that maybe the non-traditional way into UX writing is, in fact, the traditional way.
