Designer Sushi podcast is about the everyday life of a UX designer through the perspectives of two career switcher UX designers that have a shared lived experience in Japan. UX Design is a hot industry and popular among people that are looking to transition from their previous careers. But it also comes with struggles especially when you’re working in a different country. This show will give an insider look at our UX career where we discuss our wins, growth, and challenges as we navigate our new career. We also talk about our experience working in Japan and how that can also be an added obstacle as a foreigner working in the UX industry.
Our aim is to have authentic UX conversations and discuss our international work experience so that we can inspire those that want to pursue UX, to work abroad, or for UX Designers to relate to our journey! So have your favorite nigiri on hand and enjoy!

Happy New Year! あけましておめでとうございます！今年もよろしくお願いします 🥳。We hope 2024 will be a great year for you all! We would like to apologize for the extreme delay in our new episode as our life has been getting busy lately. But we have an exciting 2 part episode to kick off the new year! Our guest on this episode is the loveable Teresa Fong! Teresa is a senior product designer at Skydea, an agency in Tokyo. As a designer, she builds apps and websites. But she most enjoys building community. She manages Creative Tokyo, a community with over 3,100 members connecting and finding friends with similar interests.
With Teresa, we act as a 24/7 hotline, eagerly awaiting your inquiries about UX/UI Design, tech trends, and the Japanese work culture. Special thanks to Teresa for curating YOUR burning questions! Let's jump right in and kick off our hotline extravaganza with part 1.
Some questions we got asked:
For someone wanting to get into UI/UX design from zero, where would you recommend they start?
What advice would you give yourself, looking back at your own journey?
Could one get a job as a UI/UX Designer with only a portfolio and no design experience?
