What I learned about UX in my year at Border Crossing UX

As the Marketing Specialist here, my role did not require prior UX experience, though it did require an understanding of general user experience principles and many transferrable skills. So as a “non-UX” individual working in the UX industry, I wanted to share some of the top things I have learned during my year in UX that may be of use to others considering entering the industry.

Trendspotting is more than checking an instantaneous ranking on Twitter about hashtags and topics. Blending art and science, trendspotting has replaced the traditional marketing method of the 4 Ps: product, pricing, promotion and place.

Globalising the User Experience

In a multicultural and multilingual world, it is important to consider cultural norms and translatability when creating content for your website or launching in a new country.
