Are Certificates Important?

I'm back with another podcast and with this episode, I want to reset, share how I've been starting a digital agency and what you can expect from this podcast next (hint: Much more content on the topic of where business meets design).

In this episode, Ross talks to Andrey Vinitsky, co-founder and CEO at Graphy, about the next-generation platform for data visualisation. We talk about how he got started, building a team of 20 and what his priorities are going forwards, as well as sharing advice for upcoming startup founders.  Check out Graphy: https://graphy.app/

In this episode, Ross joins Mark Reynolds, founder at Atomle, a design system studio, to chat about the Converge conference, the state of design systems right now and what Mark believes is the missing ingredient.   More from Mark: https://www.atomle.com/

Ross sits down with Raymmar Tirado, who shares what happened at the recent State of Flow, as well as his take on why the Webflow community is succeeding. We also talk about the convergence of design and development.  Connect with Raymmar on Twitter: https://twitter.com/raymmar_

Today's episode is a recording of a conversation between myself and Misato Ehara for The UX Review where we talk all things UX Research and UX Design. Enjoy! Let me know what you thought
