In this quick chat with Matt, we talk about Matt's background and his eventual journey into UX design. Matt works very closely with UX writers, and my goal is to spotlight what that partnership looks like. We talk about the benefits of that partnership and the challenges when writers are not at the table.
Some of the questions we discuss:
- What was Matt's journey like to transition to UX Design?
- As a UX Designer, what are you looking for in your partnership with a UX writer?
- What are the challenges in the absence of a writer?
- When is the right time for writers and UX designers to start working together?
- Should writers sit in on research sessions?
