Sarah has a background in software testing and product design. But she’s always enjoyed writing, so she made the transition to UX writing.

She recently took on the challenge to develop the personality of a chatbot. She realized that she had no idea where to start and was hit by impostor syndrome. Tune in to learn how she got over it and at same time came up with a brilliant method to create the language of the bot.

We also talked about:

  • Why UX writers should consume as much art as possible
  • How language learning can help UX writers
  • Inclusive writing and working with gendered languages
