Ep. 8. UX Writing at Spotify, with Tamara Hilmes

Spotify! Do you use it? Probably. Remember when we owned CDs?
Crazy. Actually, you know what’s crazy? Paying for stuff I don’t
have in my hands. I’m 32, so I still want to read that lyrics
sheet damn it.


No, streaming is better. And Tamara Hilmes is one of the people
making it better. She’s a UX Writing Manager at Spotify, and she
and I spent some time talking about her background, what makes
working at Spotify so great, and the skills she needs to succeed
at a major company there - and how to succeed as a UX writer,
specifically.


Her experience is impressive. Foursquare, Vimeo, and she’s
written a ton about UX writing in general.


Say hi to Tamara on Linkedin.
