Information that will change our lives!

Thanks for the welcome. I’ve been a fan of UX Mastery blog for as long as I can remember. I even wrote an article for them a few years ago. I find myself as a team of one at the moment and looking to mix with like minded individuals.

Where in the world are you? Netherlands, Europe
What stage of your career are you at? Just starting off as a freelancer. I mostly do copywriting and online marketing, but I am generally interested in design and UX. I’m currently working on a prototype of a new UX tool with a friend; I’ll probably ask for some feedback later on if people are keen to take a look.
What are you current challenges? I’m interested in many things, which often makes me a jack of all trades and master of none. So that’s a never-ending challenge :slight_smile:
What aspect/s of UX are passionate about? It’s a new industry, something I’m not that familiar with yet, so that makes it exciting in itself.
Cats or dogs? dogs.

Congratulations on the new job! How’s it going so far?

Thanks Doug, it’s going really great, depending on your point of view :wink: No, really, it’s a lot of fun. The internal processes are sometimes a bit overwhelming and hard to comprehend but most of my colleagues really do want things to change and therefore are very cooperative. Long story short: Heaps of work but lots of potential quick-wins to get the spirits going. The best part: The Management has our back :slight_smile:
