About this episode

Episode 60 Show Notes:

There are so many paths to take to get into UX, but have you considered Content Design? I know it's another term in the sea of UX terminology, but this could be the career you've been searching for, mainly if you've found that being a visual designer or researcher isn't your thing.

In this episode, Aladrian and I discuss her unconventional path to becoming a Content Design Manager at Intuit. We talk about the skill sets you need to become a content designer and get started in this career. She also even gives some tips for how to improve your copywriting skills! So take a listen and tag @uinarrativeco on Twitter with your questions or comments.
