Ever feel like your product manager just doesn’t “get” UX?
You’re advocating for users, pushing for research, and trying to make thoughtful design decisions… but your PM seems laser-focused on deadlines, features, and shipping fast. Frustrating, right?
In this episode of Elevate Your UX Career, we’re diving into one of the biggest challenges mid-career UX designers face: working with PMs who don’t fully understand UX. I’ll share how to strengthen collaboration, increase your influence, and navigate tricky dynamics without drama or burnout.
We’ll also cover a real listener question in our Ask the Designer segment: What do you do if you keep getting passed over for promotions or leadership opportunities, even when your manager says you’re doing great work?
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, misunderstood, or like your UX voice isn’t being heard on your team, or if you’re ready to step into more leadership and influence in your career, this episode is packed with strategies and insights to help you level up.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
