Interviews with UX pioneers, hosted by Marek Pawlowski, the founder of MEX. Each episode features a guest talking to Marek about their career story, design interests and their hopes for how technology will shape the future. Part of the MEX initiative for enhancing digital user experience.
Mirren Fischer is someone who finds herself at the confluence of some really big challenges: creating a sustainable future and leveraging the new methods which have caused such an acceleration in the role of digital experiences. She talks to MEX founder Marek Pawlowski about applying that approach to problems and places which have deep, physical roots - like construction projects which need to think on 100 year timescales.
Part of her response to this brave new world is Brilliant Product Design, literally, and she hopes...figuratively. Brilliant is the name of the small agency she has founded to work towards these outcomes.
It is a conversation informed by the depth of Mirren's experience and background. She trained originally in architecture and worked as an architect for a number of years. But for more than a decade she's been developing her talents in digital experience design. She's worked for a wide range of UX agencies, she's worked client-side and she's worked across industries from publishing to property.

Agency values; Mark Baldino, co-founder, Fuzzy Math
Mark Baldino’s path to co-founding a Chicago-based design agency wends its way from a degree in theology and working at non-profits in Washington DC to reading an early edition of ‘Information Architecture for the World Wide Web’ and a job as a late 90s web designer he claims he was totally unqualified for. What shines through today is a continuing commitment to bringing a certain set of values to the agency’s UX work in healthcare and other sectors. Mark talks to MEX founder Marek Pawlowski about the nuances of selling design services, nurturing skills and growth within a team, and how the pandemic has influenced his agency’s approach.
