In this episode of The Future of UX, I sit down with Amy Heymans—a visionary design leader with 25+ years of experience in strategy, innovation, and ethical design. Amy has worked in health, finance, and government, always pushing for human-centered, responsible, and impactful solutions.
We cover some BIG topics in this conversation:
✅ Balancing business success with ethical design—how can we make a real impact?
✅ The role of strategy in UX—why every designer should think like a strategist.
✅ AI & the future of UX—how can we use AI responsibly, and what should we watch out for?
✅ Design entrepreneurship—how to build a career or business on your own terms.
✅ Designing for dignity—how ethics, responsibility, and UX come together.
