The UX Consultants Lounge
This is the place for UX Consultants to gather, share stories, and learn more from one another. I’m Kyle Soucy, your host and a long-time Independent UX Research Consultant. Whenever I catch up with other consultants, I always learn something new. So, I decided to create a space to do just that and I'm inviting you to join me. Most of my amazing guests are fellow UX consultants, but there will also be special appearances from clients and other people that I think we can learn a great deal from.
You can get in on the conversation by submitting your own questions and anonymous stories about consulting to share: https://bit.ly/uxconsultants-question-story
