"Yes, and" the Improv of UX (Heather Wydeven)

Long before I was a UX nerd at The Nerdery, I was a theater nerd. Acting was the only activity that stuck with me when I was a kid, and I acted all the way through high school and college, where I became a theater major. After college, I returned to my old high school and directed productions there for five years. Shortly after that, I transitioned into graphic design, which ultimately led to my current career in UX design. (uxmag.com)
