YouX Podcast was created to feature notable experiences in the design community. Two passionate women in tech believe the design community can benefit from conversations around the challenges that underrepresented groups face in this space and opportunities to elevate our voices.
In this episode, we kick off the first instance of our YouX Lab series, where we'll be doing deep dives into both digital and in-person experiences.

We discuss topics such as bootcamps and formal education, the importance of relevant years of experience, portfolio storytelling, and some eye-opening stories and statistics about diversity hiring and leadership.
In our first episode, we focus on what it means to have a seat at the table during these virtual times. We present ideas around how to take initiative, the challenges that we as designers are facing in this new work environment, and the push to create a respectful remote culture.
