Our Global Leadership Team
“I founded UX for Change because I saw an opportunity to address the gap there is between the UX Design community and other sectors that are important to the future of our world”
Our Local Leadership Team
“ I have been deeply involved with the growth of the UX space from the evolution of a number of new roles and requirements to the ever-increasing skill shortage for talent with experience in the field.”
