Description
When Jonathan Courtney, co-founder of AJ&Smart set up his business in 2011, UX design was very misunderstood. He spent the next few years explaining to clients (and himself) what UX design actually was and why it was so valuable. He found it extremely difficult to hire good UX designers due to the fact that there was nowhere to learn the requirements for progressing in the digital product world.

There are 3 ways you can do this which are discussed further in the video.
