Season 5 -Episode 7 Alex Smith

The first non-UX designer on the UX Growth podcast might have just given the most important career advice of the season.

Alex Smith, co-founder and Head of Partnerships at Fuego UX, has helped agencies survive when others shut their doors and his perspective flips a lot of common designer beliefs.

In this episode, we talk about:
• Why 'staying in your lane could be the fastest way to stall your career
• The #1 misconception companies still have about designers (and how to fix it)
• How to stand out in a sea of portfolios that all say the same thing
• The overlooked skill that will keep you valuable no matter where the market goes

This conversation will change the way you think about your role.
