It is now integral to most department’s visions; sales, marketing, product, tech etc. all need to consider the user experience and how it plays a part in their strategy.

Be a unicorn!
“My top tips for landing a UX job in Australia would be; a bloody good website showing extensive UX processes from research through to wireframing/prototyping – this is key.
