Videoconference: The Atypical UX Manager Path

Calls and access to recordings are free for all community members. Join here for an invitation. You’ll receive a welcome email with a link to our archive of calls as well as invitations to future calls.

For this month’s call we’re convening a 3-person panel to share diverse stories and paths of becoming a UX manager—from writing, to print/graphic design, and even theater!

We’ll discuss the various origin stories of becoming a manager, those humbling moments of learning lessons along the way, and touch upon what makes managing truly rewarding as a career path choice. Whether you’re a manager now or perhaps thinking about it with some trepidation, you will surely get some inspiring takeaways. As a bonus, we will also feature a short teaser of content coming up for our annual Enterprise Experience 2020 conference.

Michael Metts is a UX manager at Allstate and co-author of recently published Rosenfeld Media title Writing is Designing. Joie Chung is a UX manager at Vrbo in Austin, Texas with a background in graphic design. Finally, Amy Marquez manages the Alexa Personality Experience team, with a theater background.
