👋 TGIF — Farewell, Appreciation, Reflection
Hey there, I appreciate your attention to our fresh content at such a busy and stressful moment. 🥰
This week, we are excited to introduce the 2023 UXA E-board. Our column lead Sunniva shared her journey exploring HCI as a content creator on the newsletter team. Lastly, we interviewed David Kendall to share his perspective on UX as a design principal. 😮
As we come closer to the end of the school year, I’d love to invite everyone to join me, take a tiny break from the final preparation, and shout out to anyone you feel grateful for through the link below.

👍 The Inquiry — Sunniva’s Guide on Exploring HCI
We’ve invited a diverse set of community members @CMU to share their perspectives on understanding, practicing, and incrementally influencing the field of HCI. 🤯
This week, Sunniva — the content lead of this column, reflected on her experience as a member of the IN content creation team and documented insights she collected throughout her inquiry across the campus. 🙈
👌 The Vision — A Design Principal’s Perspective on UX
Our previous issues mostly focused on hearing actionable advice from junior practitioners. This time, let’s look a bit beyond — how do senior-level practitioners think about their UX career? How do people we might group into in 10-20 years think about their career? 🤩
This week, we invited David Kendall, a UX Design Principal at AT&T, to answer your questions as well as talk about his work in design systems! 🎨
