    I love the content of this video. Thanks for the free resources too. It was hard to read the contents of some of your slides though. Starting from 4:14 to 16:44, I had to constantly pause your video and zoom in to read what's on the slides. And even then, I still couldn't read what's in some of them. Just something to note for your upcoming videos or if you wanna do an update on this. Also, I checked your UX Audit Guide. On page 7, under the "What do you want answers to?", bullet points 1 and 4 says the same thing. I'm pretty sure that wasn't intentional. If I find any other typos while going through your resources, I'll be happy to send them over to you. Let me know the best place to do it. Thanks again for making contents like this. I appreciate it!

    @@headwayio I'm currently struggling as the solo designer on the team and would love to look for a mentor. I know ADPlist is a good place to search, but I don't know how do I choose a mentor (like what should I be looking for) and I'm not sure what a mentor session is meant to do. What questions do I ask? Do I schedule a recurring meeting with them for a while? or do I go to a different mentor every time? Would be AWESOME if you guys could help shed some light on this topic for total newbie designers embarking on this journey alone 🥲

    @@ET35776 I totally understand what you're feeling! If you do dive into ADPlist you can look me up on there. Mentoring sessions can be really what ever you need them to be, questions about process, career, work feedback, etc. Some of my mentees go to different mentors all the time to see who they gel with the best, and some stick with the same few. Each mentor is going to provide a unique perspective and skill set that will help you in the long run, so i'd try a few out first to see who you gel with the best! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions!

    Is it possible to leverage AI to do the UX audit? Any recommendations of existing tools? Based on my work experience, it is really tedious to perform UX audit.

    As of right now we haven’t seen anything that’s useful for our team. If you find anything, we’d love to see it. UX is more than design inconsistencies. It’s also talking to customers to understand where they get stuck or confused and why. And AI can’t schedule calls and get that kind of contextual feedback. There are predictive AI tools for UX but for the most part they are just based on UX best practices, which we already use in our designs. We’re more concerned about business outcomes and customer success. With anything, shortcuts often don’t pay off in the long run. But we also understand that having the time to do audits can feel like a luxury with deadlines all the time. Melissa from our team had a great convo about this on the Beyond UX podcast. www.beyonduxdesign.com/episode/63-refining-ux-one-audit-at-a-time-with-melissa-gallagher/
