    How software will help UX writers democratize the design process - Jasper Platz, CEO of Strings

    How software will help UX writers democratize the design process - Jasper Platz, CEO of Strings

    Last month, I spoke wth Chris Baty from Figma - and we talked about how Figma is helping UX writers enter the design process. This month we continue that conversation with the creator of a copy management system. Jasper Platz is NOT a UX writer or content designer. He says that straight up. However, he quickly discovered a love for content design when building other products.
    So much so, that he decided UX writers need software of their own to manage the copy process.
    We talk about that in this episode, but we also talk about:
    How software can democratize design for UX writers
    What would product managers look like if they came from design?
    Why is content design getting so much attention?
    …and more. This was a great chat, so I hope you enjoy it!

Perfect for UX Writers

Exactly what I’ve been looking for to learn more about this field.

Em Zoscak ,

An excellent resource

This is hands down the best podcast about content strategy, UX writing, and content design I’ve come across. Each episode, Patrick, an experienced UX writer, interviews other writers in the field. And I learn something. Every. Single. Time.

And whether you’re new to the profession or are a seasoned UX writer, I’m nearly certain you will, too.

Bull Thorn ,

Great Educational Resource!

As a junior UX Writer, I learn something new from every episode.
