Including metrics in your resume or UX portfolio does NOT just have to focus on the final outcome.
Metrics can also quantify WHAT you did.
For example, if you did UX Research, how many interviews, how long was each interview etc?
For a Design System, how many components etc were in it?

Do not ever do this under any circumstances. You will be held to the actual contract, not the AI summary, and the AI summary has no way of knowing which terms you might personally care about or have questions about. Dooooo notttttt dooooo thissssss.
I just received a contract on Docusign for review and signing, and it offered to give me an AI-generated summary that I could read instead to save time.
That's AN AI-GENERATED SUMMARY ***OF A CONTRACT***, in case you need to let that sink in.

I'm obsessed with the UX of Peloton🏃♀️ 🚴♀️ ... but not the UX of the bike interface, app etc.
I share more about how Peloton inspired me when I designed the UX of my UX community and job search accelerator, Career Strategy Lab.

One of the most underrated skills you can build is to ADVOCATE for yourself.
Whether it’s:
– Dealing with doctors
– Navigating legal situations
– Asking for a raise
– Setting boundaries in relationships
If you can’t stand up for yourself, don’t expect others to do it for you.

Burnout is not a badge of honor.
Every now and then I see posts from authors, UXers, entrepreneurs, etc who share all the ways they've burnt on their quest to:
- Get the book published
- Build the business
- Advance their career
If success requires burnout, then is it really a success?

Happy 2025 🎉 I wanted to share a new article I wrote.
Many UX and Product people are unhappy, burned out, & unfulfilled because their identity is too closely tied to their work.
The solution? Expand the sources of happiness in your life.

LOL so true!!!!
I’d like to thank the product designers at Apple for creating an AirPods Pro case so perfect that is guaranteed to pop open every time it falls on the floor, causing each bud to fly off and bounce in a different direction and roll underneath a piece of furniture.
