Welcome to the UX Pursuit podcast! - A SHOw dedicated to the unique stories and journeys of UX practitioners – how they got to where they are today, what hurdles they overcame, and what advice they have for those currently pursuing UX.

The field of UX is relatively new but it’s been exploding over the past several years. One characteristic of a UX career that is both exciting and frustrating is that there isn’t one standard route to becoming a UX practitioner. It’s exciting because it means that you aren’t limited to just one pathway into the field but it is frustrating because there aren’t clear and concrete steps to getting into UX.

Six years ago I began my journey and I’ve been sharing bits and pieces of my own experience here on the site but recently I decided I wanted to do more than share just my story.

So, I reached out to a variety of UX practitioners to hear about their unique UX journeys and created this podcast. My hope is that, by sharing their stories, I might help and inspire those currently in their own pursuit of a UX career.

Learn more about the guests from season one here.

Thanks to Irene Barber, a fellow UXer, for creating the music for the podcast. Be sure to check out her music under the artist name Nearby on Spotify or at nearbymusic.bandcamp.com.

I’m your host, Tim Bridgham, a Senior UX Researcher, and this is UX Pursuit.
