Key quotes
· 3 pulledGreat UX doesn’t happen in isolation. It takes conversations with engineers, alignment with product, sales, and other stakeholders, as well as the ability to listen, adapt, and co-create.
When people talk about UX, it’s usually about the things they can see and interact with, like wireframes and prototypes, smart interactions, and design tools like Figma.
That’s where design becomes a team sport, and when your ability to capture the outcomes multiplies the UX impact.
