At some point in a UX career, you realize the problem isn’t wireframes. It’s tornadoes.
Dr. Darren Hood has spent decades inside organizations watching projects get blown sideways by politics, confusion, shifting priorities, low UX maturity, and executives changing direction halfway through the work.
This conversation is about what senior UX work actually starts to look like once you stop focusing only on deliverables and start paying attention to organizational behavior.
We talk about stakeholder maturity, managing up, AI adoption, why “UX is dead” discourse is exhausting, and the difference between having an opinion versus having enough experience to recognize patterns.
A lot of senior UX work isn’t designing interfaces. It’s learning how to function inside chaos without becoming part of it.
Key Topics

Why senior UX work becomes political
The difference between opinion and expert opinion
How experienced practitioners are approaching AI
