Deeply Human Design is a podcast about the emotional, messy, and often unspoken realities of working in design. Hosted by Danny, each episode is a candid conversation with fellow designers. Not polished interviews, but honest reflections on what it feels like to do this work. From impostor syndrome to burnout, from proud moments to tough rejections, we go behind the scenes of the design life. If you're tired of the same thought leaders and crave real talk from real people, you're in the right place.

#7 Finding my path in UX, Icarus and vulnerability in leadership

In this episode, I sit down with Joe Knowles to explore his career journey, where he grappled with the challenges of a fast-paced UX career. We reflect on his "Icarus moment"—the point where his professional climb led to a personal re-evaluation—and discuss the honest struggles of UX leadership. Joe opens up about the intersection of introversion and authenticity, and the power of being vulnerable in an industry that can often feel like a performance. This conversation is for anyone navigating their own path and seeking a more human-centered approach to their work.
