Welcome back to User Flows, everyone. This is a show where we talk about User Experience Design and Careers and I get to interview designers who inspire me about how they got started in the field so I can break down the patterns or best practices that you can use in your own career. Today, I'm speaking with Viet Hoang. Viet has been a UX Researcher/Designer for 8+ years. In my experience working with him, he has shown an absolute comprehensive understanding of human behavior and psychology as it relates to both digital and physical experiences. Viet has worked with numerous clients in various industries, from fintech to food services giving him a broad perspective on users' needs and motivations. I was really excited to connect with Viet again on the podcast and outside of work. He's an incredibly thoughtful person and extremely inquisitive. I think you’ll enjoy this one!
