Nat Dudley launched her UX career in a queue at Auckland's annual Gather event ... actually it started even earlier with a random conversation in a bar. From these events Nat has emerged as one of the countries top UX designers with a true empathetic approach to her work.Nat discusses not only her career, her approach to design but how there are very few, if any, true career paths for UX people within New Zealand.We also covered equability and diversity within tech, and what that means for all of us. Especially us as we heard about the most awesome "Do Better at Conference Diversity" that Nat wrote sometime ago and which we are taking to our hearts for all #WellyTech events.- https://nz.linkedin.com/in/natdudley- https://twitter.com/natdudley- http://conference.hopper.org.nz/- https://www.webstock.org.nz/talks/be-kind-design/------------------------------------------------------New Zealand tech, media, & startup podcast hosted by Mike Riversdale, Raj Khushal, and others.

His self-taught techniques, use of open source, and sheer amount of work he puts in has meant there is no-one on the planet is able to create the level of hyperreality that he can.Just ask his fans all over the world, including many production companies, major software companies, hardware vendors, and fellow AR/VR creators.Now, with any rockstar there comes a heartfelt background, a story of ups and big downs, and of resilience and overcoming the arrows of outrageous misfortune.And at the end of it, Simon is a funny guy with an incredible talent and a burning star of focus within him, He can also scratch you up the wrong way with his brutal honesty - we at AG welcome it :)- http://www.realityvirtual.co/- https://nz.linkedin.com/in/simon-che-de-boer-2a49386a- https://www.youtube.com/user/thesystemera- https://twitter.com/thesystemera- https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9965673/- https://www.facebook
