SAP BrandVoice: Career Advice For Designers: Consider Enterprise UX

If you enjoy intellectual challenges and designing experiences that impact millions of people, enterprise UX could be right for you. In 2005, YouTube was born, Google had just acquired Android, Yahoo! was a popular search engine, and there was no Netflix, Twitter, or Spotify. In that same year, I was asked to build up and manage my first visual design team. In those still formative years of the internet and hence modern user experience (UX), it was unusual – at least in Europe – to find a visual designer trained in human-computer interaction. So, I hired what I could find: talented graphic designers, most of whom had experience creating work for print and the web, but who had no idea about designing software.
