In this episode, I chat with Lori Chai – a UX Designer and Co. Lab Alumna, about her experience living and working abroad in Japan (one of my bucket list destinations!). She shares what drove her decision to transition in a UX career, the state of UX design in Japan at the time and how she started her own co-hosted podcast: Designer Sushi. For the first episode of this season, Lori was kind enough to be the guinea pig for the This or That segment. I had so much fun and a lot of laughs recording this episode. Enjoy!
