In the latest episode of the UX Growth Podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting Grace Ling, the founder of Design Buddies. Grace's journey from aspiring artist to community builder and UX expert is inspiring. Here are three key takeaways from our conversation: 1️⃣ Embrace Your Unique Path: Grace's transition from bioengineering to UX design teaches us the power of following our passions and the importance of being open to change. It's a reminder that non-linear career paths can lead to fulfilling destinations. 2️⃣ Community is Key: The success story of Design Buddies, which grew to over 60,000 members, underscores the value of creating and engaging with communities. For anyone looking to expand in UX, surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals can be a game-changer. 3️⃣ Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Grace's candid discussion about imposter syndrome is relatable and motivating. It's a powerful call to recognize our value, learn from others, and contribute positively to the community. Let's grow together in our UX journeys! Listen now!
