Dylan Moss | Senior Product Designer
<p>Dylan has been a “creative” ever since he was a kid making art at his kitchen table and building with Legos. He was even exploring the beginnings of digital design through Microsoft Paint. Now he is a thoughtful product designer working through the immensely complex and ever expanding world of digital design.</p> <p>In our conversation Dylan talks about his start in print media, how he grew his skills working on a variety of projects while doing agency work, and how he is trying to think about and unpack how design and UX impact so much more than just the screens we use every day.</p> <p>I’m so inspired by Dylan’s passion to explore that very broad world of digital design, to learn from all those “design pockets,” and to think about how he can apply all he learns to his own design work and career.</p> <p><strong>LINKS</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dylanamoss" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.dylanamoss.com/" target="_blank">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ideo.com/" target="_blank">Ideo</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/" target="_blank">Nielsen Norman Group</a></li> </ul> <p>Thank you Dylan for being a guest on the show!</p> <p><strong>If you want to get in touch or if you have questions about pursuing a UX career</strong><strong> please email me at hello@uxpursuit.com</strong>.</p> <p>Lastly, thanks to Irene Barber for creating the music for today's episode.

Emma Bulajewski | Senior UX Researcher
<p>Emma is a thoughtful and authentic UX Researcher who I’ve known since her grad school days when she and her team used Blink’s research labs for their usability testing project. I wanted to speak with Emma because of something she posted on her LinkedIn back in the Fall of 2020. She offered up office hours for anyone to book time on her calendar to talk shop or ask questions about getting into UX Research. How cool is that?!?</p> <p>In our conversation Emma shares how she discovered UX, her journey through school, internships, and contract positions, and the power of networking. I really appreciate how she shares about, not only her career journey, but also those interpersonal skills which have enabled her to confidently conduct research and support her partners at New Relic.</p> <p>It was also great to hear more about Emma’s passion for supporting those early in their UX journey through connecting and mentoring.</p> <p><strong>LINKS</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ebulajewski/" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></li> </ul> <p>Thank you Emma for being a guest on the show!</p> <p><strong>If you want to get in touch or if you have questions about pursuing a UX career</strong><strong> please email me at hello@uxpursuit.com</strong>.</p> <p>Lastly, thanks to Irene Barber for creating the music for today's episode.
