UX Untamed Podcast Podcast

UX Untamed podcast is a space dedicated to new folks coming into the field of tech as UX Designers. The main idea is to share the different journeys, points of view and stories of other designers already in the field. My name is Julieth Fajardo, I'm a Colombian, queer woman living in Vancouver for the past 13 years. After 10 years working in retail management, I took the decision of changing fields and careers into UX design. Now I work as a UX Designer in the public sector, I do mentorships via ADPlist and I want to inspire and empower other designers to follow their passion.

She’s a change agent focused on helping companies of all sizes transform towards customer-centricity while using Agile and Lean principles.   Clients have given her the nickname, “Mary Poppins,” because she flies in, improves everything she can, sings a few songs, and flies away to her next adventure.  Her “Delta CX” book and “Transforming Toward Customer-Centricity” training teach companies how to improve customer satisfaction, predict and mitigate business risk, and increase ROI by investing in great customer experiences.  She has other training programs that teach non-CX roles about CX, why specialists do it, and how to integrate it into teams and processes.  Outside of CX work, and sometimes during CX work, Debbie enjoys singing symphonic prog goth metal, opera, and New Wave.  You can also catch her on the Delta CX YouTube channel.  youtube.com/c/DeltaCX  More about the Host: Julieth Fajardo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julietafb/  If you are interested in doing a 1:1, and chatting more about your UX designer career you can use this link: hhttps://adplist.org/mentors/julieth-fajardo
