The event was a talk I never knew I needed, after all the layoffs, I really wanted to go back to the basics and I was reintroduced to my purpose and roots. I remember why I do what I do.
Jeric A.
UX/UI Designer
I would just like to send love to the whole UXPH Team for this AMAZING conference! I am a non-designer — I just thought of snooping around to know the UXverse is like but I ended up staying for the whole event!
Mika V.
Freelance Software Developer
This entire event has helped me know more about UX, which has further piqued my interest on perhaps taking a job opportunity in the field.
Jordan L.
Graphic Designer
I love the UXPH team itself!! I just feel the warmth of the community and it's a safe space for me.
Sofia K.
UI Designer
As a UX Leader, I have learned that it is more important to uplift your team by showing that you trust them and providing them with learning opportunities instead of micromanaging.
Carlo M.
Lead Product Designer
This talk made me excited. I just shifted from dev to product, and I realized there's a whole world of systems thinking and continuous discovery I want to immerse myself in!
Kate S.
Software Engineer
One important thing that I learned from this year’s event is that UX can be applied beyond apps. It can be used in services, organizational change, and even in public governance!
