S01E11 - Alanté Fields | Digital Innovations Content Planner
Alanté is a persistent and passionate researcher. This became clear to me after hearing more about her story and learning what drew her to UX, how she pursued her career, and how she strives to be a champion for human-centered design in whatever role she has.
In our discussion she also talks about some unique skills necessary for excelling in UX and presents a thoughtful view on the need to get applied experience, whether that’s through grad school, a bootcamp, volunteering, or in her case, at an existing job.
Alanté’s ability to recognize opportunities where human-centered design could be utilized and then to take charge and make those opportunities a reality is very admirable.
I'm happy to report that as of March 2021 Alanté is now a User Researcher at Microsoft Mixed Reality, working on products like the Hololens.
