#13 Fabricio Teixeira @UX Collective - How to develop your business empathy
Fabricio Teixeira is a design director at the digital product agency Work & Co and the founder of the UX Collective, one of the best resources for blog posts, links, and resources for UX designers. In The State of UX in 2018 report, UX Collective editors wrote that "The UX designers of 2018 will need to understand more about business". So, I reached out to Fabricio to learn more about the backstory of this statement and how did his path to becoming more business-savvy look like.
In this episode we spoke about:
the simple exercise UX designers can use to start building their business muscle,
how sharing knowledge is the best way to learn and advance the career,
and how can we recognize future trends in the UX community?
