You’ll leave feeling energized to intentionally shape a career you can thrive in—one that is aligned with what matters most to you, not just what everyone else is doing.

What we learned from the 2023 Content Design and UX Writing Community Survey

Earlier this year, Jane Ruffino launched a survey for people working in UX content. Her goal: to understand how responsibilities, titles, team structures, and more have shifted over the past few years—and what’s keeping people up at night right now. Join us on June 29 as we reveal the biggest themes Jane and a team of volunteers found in the data—and what it means for the humans who make up this field.
