In 2008, I founded my first startup. And it failed–epically.

That first failure offered me a new perspective on how to approach problem-solving, design thinking, and UX for my next two successful companies.

Leading a business with empathy requires vulnerability.

It's exhausting and also terrifying at times, but 1000% worth it.

Innovation is the inevitable outcome of someone relentlessly questioning the status quo.

Eventually, a new solution will be created for the “new” problem.

🦸🏻‍♀️ Feeling nervous about merging AI with your UX design craft?

Take a deep breath and join me in imagining the possibilities of what would happen if human-centered design and artificial intelligence had a superhuman baby of their own.

That's why I've made it my mission to make it more gender equitable.

My new company launching in just a few days, @founderswhoux, is part of an unconventional solution to do just that.

[Founders Who UX @founderswhoux]

It’s time we start researching and questioning this.

A friendly end-of-week reminder that only 1.9% of venture capital went towards women-founded startups in 2022.

Would love to hear from VCs on this...

Are women not pitching to investors?
Or are investors not investing in women?

And why?

🍎 UX design in Edtech:

In order to truly innovate for our learning communities, we must look beyond our direct competitors and our own experiences in the classroom.

We must constantly ask ourselves, “What lives beyond the bubble of academia?”

🥗 Friday food for thought:

If 58% of founders design their product before being funded and 56% of startups fail due to lack of product-market fit, is one is directly related to the other?

UX is a practice based on a series of proven methodologies.

These methodologies need to be customized by UX practitioners who excel in critical thinking, communication, and people management.

Good UX requires "good" on both sides of the equation.

[Founders Who UX @founderswhoux]

Most startups fail by turning a great idea into the wrong product.

You can learn the UX process quickly, but you can’t rush refining UX as a craft.

The craft of UX is unique to each person that practices it, and must be developed as so.

We are no longer in a state of educating the world about the value and necessity of UX, but have now entered a phase of optimizing and evolving it.

Founders, what does this look like to you?

[Founders Who UX @founderswhoux]

50% of a developer's time is spent on avoidable rework of a digital product that was built without proper #UX and #usability testing.

Invest a little upfront to save big down the road.

Unexpected career pivots are the worst.

Or are they?

8 years ago I quit a job I loved after finding out I was pregnant.

It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done.

But also one of the best.
