Digital Drift Episode 5 -Interview with CcHub’s UX Lead, Udeze Kene
@tonianni drills @udezekene on the UX scene in Nigera and local talent development in a scintillating interview cum Q/A. Before that though @kehers does a quick round up on “wearables” fever!. @fran anchors this steam ship.
We’re finally having these design conversations!
I’m so glad to see this podcast return, @fran
Heyyyyy @Tonianni!
Boss @kehers. I hail.
Someone please invite @udezekene to Radar.
Hey @lordbanks Thanks.
Especially happy we could do a design focused episode, and there’s more of them lined up - especially with @Tonianni co-anchoring 
This “coding thing” is a big issue. I am a UXer and I really don’t code - but in Nigeria right now, that is like a big joke. I have had numerous encounters where a “supposedly” UX task ends up really being a front-end development work and that leaves guys like me at a disadvantage. Aside that, there is the constant misuse of UI & UX…
I feel your pain. It’s still part of the UX awareness and understanding issue. UX professionals in the local market would have to educate their clients/organisations, communicating their value in a language they understand.
@fran Hello… This podcast is really nice, can we get your episodes on vibeoo.com ?
Would appreciate a shout-out to hello@vibeoo.com so we can discuss further…
Many Thanks
hi @FreakiChinedu. Episodes are downloadable on http://digitaldrift.me from our CDN
Thanks.
It also raises a bigger question… is UX actually Design Work?
It is like how Copy Writing ( likened to UX ) and Art Director ( likened to UI ) has become in our visually driven world… All Form, Less to Function
How did you get into UX?
UX is how to design properly. It is a mindset, a goal and a combination of skills/tools. There’s not the one skill that is UX.
The main thing is that they co-create with their target audience.
Thanks… would alert you once the show is up and running
Yes… but that’s why we say UI / UX Design
UX is how the User Feels… it is Intangible… And it’s not the job of the UI Designer… it’s much more
Whoever is ‘We’ is obviously doing it wrong.
There can be no wrong if there is no right … “we” learn - summing UX as a Design Discipline is inconclusive and likened to when Advertising fails to bring forth the Big Idea
Neither is UX Front End Design or Development
Just want to say I actually spent 38 minutes and 47 seconds of my life listening to this :). No regrets at all, nice one guys!
Hey @Clive Thanks.
We do an interview with you very soon 
Would be nice if these podcasts were available for subscription on iTunes.
seconded! working on it. asap.
