Here are a few takeaways that stood out:
Designers are already doing half the job of leadership.
A design system only matters if it solves a real problem.

There’s no single path into UX. And that’s both terrifying and kind of beautiful.
In this episode of the UX Growth Podcast, I spoke with Dane O’Leary, a talented freelance UX designer who built his career by blending creativity, self-discovery, and a constant hunger to learn.
We covered so much, but a few moments stood out:
Why trying different paths isn’t a setback, it’s part of the work
How to stay organized, grounded, and avoid burnout as a freelancer
Why LinkedIn is misunderstood and how to use it without selling your soul
The underrated UX skill that can save projects and relationships: clear communication
This episode is for anyone who’s figuring it out as they go. For designers who feel scattered, behind, or unsure where to focus next.How to Support Dane:
