The first time I attended a conference with my new title, I was asked by another attendee, “What does a UX manager do?” Just a couple years later, UX managers are in high demand, but what experience is needed for such a role, and how do you know if you’ll be happy filling it? I'll share my journey from design practitioner to manager and provision you some food for thought on your own road. We need more design managers; why not you?
