UX Almusal
By ALXC x CSJ
You better get your sinangag ready and join your hosts Alexis Collado and Christian San Jose. Listen in on conversations about UX, product design, and life from two hungry designers cooking their way to make sense of a messy design world.
Conversations over breakfast may include — product design breakdowns, building design organizations, self-improvement as a designer, and stuff you probably should listen in on if you want to level up as a designer.
