UX writing. Content design. Call it whatever you want, but the truth is clear: words and content are more important to good design than ever. The words, phrases, and sentences you see in a user interface don't just appear there. They are written. Carefully crafted. This podcast is about the people who write those words, who design experiences with words, and who combine the power of language and technology.

Ep. 25. Content Design in China feat. Anna Potapova & Arnaud Frattini
Do you enjoy the podcast? Please leave a review!
Last year the UX Content Collective published an extensive piece about content designers in China, written by Anna Potapova and Arnaud Frattini. The piece surveyed several people working in China, and revealed an amazing amount of insight into a place many people don't know anything about.
Today, Anna (Aliexpress) and Arnaud (Alibaba Group) join me on the podcast to talk about their survey, what it's like to work in China, and what we all can learn from the type of fast-paced business practices we see there.
Given how important China has become to the world economy...perhaps there are a few things we can learn.
