In the Anthro to UX podcast, Matt provides insights for anthropologists looking to break into user experience (UX) research through conversations with leading anthropologists working in UX. He focuses on how anthropologists have successfully made the transition, what they learned along the way, and what they would do differently. The podcast gives listeners insights into what it means to do UX research from a practical perspective and how to prepare for the career transition.
Last year, I sat down with Matt Artz for an interview on his podcast Anthro to UX and shared my UX journey. We discussed how I discovered anthropology in college and fell in love with its holistic perspective. I also talk about my role in the founding and leadership of the American Anthropological Association‘s Digital Anthropology Networking Group (DANG) and the importance of establishing the credibility of anthropologists studying digital spaces. I highlight the value of storytelling in anthropology and how the skills of anthropology translate to UX research. I also share my experience working in product management and UX research roles.
