#303: The UX of You: Because You're An Experience Too

We spend hours obsessing over the details of our products, debating button labels, writing the perfect Jira ticket, mapping out every pixel of a flow. But then we walk into a meeting, or drop something in Slack, and forget that the people around us are having an experience of us every day.
That experience matters. It shapes how our ideas land, how much trust we build, and ultimately, what kind of products we create together. Our customers will never see our org chart, but I promise you, they’ll feel it. The seams always show in the product.

This talk is about flipping the skills we already have as product people back on ourselves.

What if you treated yourself as the most important design deliverable in the process?

What if you applied your UX skills to how you’re experienced by others?
What if you designed the UX of You?

With AI handling so much of the “what,” the value we bring to our customers will come down to the things machines can’t touch: how we connect, collaborate, and how people feel working with us. This is the new frontier of building human-centered products.

If you’ve ever worried about being replaced, overlooked, or drowned out in the noise of AI, this session is for you. You will learn skills that are at the core of what will make someone want you on their team instead of just a faster machine to do the work.

The UX of You might be the most important design challenge you’ll ever take on.
