“I always had a way with words — and then I always found myself in customer service-type roles where I was really good figuring out what people needed and finding a way to make that happen. UX writing brings these two things together really perfectly.” — @em_schroeter [0:02:37]
“I would say best practice number one for writing surveys is ask yourself why you need to know.” — @em_schroeter [0:09:07]
“Often inclusion is seen as an add-on thing — when really, if this is worked into the DNA of your entire process, it makes for better copy in the long run.” — @em_schroeter [0:17:39]
