In this episode of The UX Consulting Lounge, host Kyle Soucy reconnects with long-time friend and UX veteran Christine Perfetti for a deeply honest and inspiring conversation about career reinvention, self-worth, and the power of authentic connection.
After decades of success in the UX world—most recently through her consultancy, Perfetti Media—Christine found herself at a professional and personal crossroads. Instead of staying the course, she decided to explore something new: a passion project called Lift Up Connections, where she brings women together in small cohorts to help them navigate career and life inflection points with clarity, intention, and support.
Kyle and Christine talk about:
Why so many in the UX industry are questioning their career paths right now
Christine’s journey from high-profile consulting work to launching Lift Up Connections
The emotional challenges of tying self-worth to professional success
How connection, vulnerability, and community have become central to Christine’s work
The practical tools and exercises she uses to help women design their next chapters
Balancing a passion project with ongoing consulting work—and what she’s learned from both
Whether you’re a UX consultant, an in-house practitioner, or someone wondering what’s next, this episode will speak to anyone craving more meaning, alignment, and joy in their work.
