Everyone wants better UX.
But when it’s time to invest, the questions start:
“Why does it cost so much?”
“Can’t we just hire one designer?”
“Isn’t this just a UI refresh?”
In this episode of Humans First, we pull back the curtain on what good design really costs—and why most teams underestimate it.
From $25K quick wins to $6M embedded partnerships, we break down the five biggest factors that drive the cost of UX design—and the hidden costs of getting it wrong.
You’ll hear real stories, real numbers, and hard-won lessons from working with companies who’ve tried it both ways.
If you’re budgeting for UX, building a product, or just wondering where design fits into your strategy—this episode will help you see the full picture.
