From technical to UX writing, working at Apple, and UX writing for electric trucks - Christie Fremon (Rivian)

Writers of Silicon Valley

If you want an anecdote about Steve Jobs and UX writing, then this episode is for you. But that's just the beginning.

Christie Fremon is probably one of the most experienced UX writers in the industry. She started as a technical writer, working through companies like Yahoo and Cloud.com in the 2000s, before moving to Apple as a UI writer on iTunes, and then at Google.

Now, she's writing for electric vehicles.

Weird, right? Except UX writing for the digital aspects of owning an electric car are actually pretty complex...and that's exactly what we talk about in this episode.

That, and: - Moving from technical writing to UX writing - What's the difference between the two? - What does it take to succeed as a UX writer at Apple? - What does the UX writing industry need more of? - How others can make the leap from technical to UX writing - UX writing for vehicles - And a pretty cool Steve Jobs anecdote...

This episode is jam packed. with so much great information from one of the most experienced UX writers around.
