UXPA Boston Board Nominee: Stew Smith

With extensive experience in UX design, product strategy, and complex system design, I have led teams to create innovative, user-centered solutions. My background spans B2B SaaS, marketing, and enterprise UX, where I’ve collaborated with data scientists, engineers, and business leaders to bridge the gap between human expertise and machine-driven insights. I am passionate about accessibility and continuous improvement, ensuring that technology is effective, inclusive, and adaptable to diverse user needs.

I want to join the UXPA Boston board to foster a stronger, more connected UX community. With the rapid evolution of AI, accessibility, and design ethics, UX professionals play a critical role in shaping responsible and user-friendly technology. I aim to contribute by participating in educational initiatives, creating knowledge-sharing opportunities, and supporting local UX professionals in navigating emerging challenges. My experience in UX design and leadership enables me to contribute to UXPA Boston’s growth as a hub for innovation, collaboration, and professional development.

I’ve participated in UXPA Boston events, engaged in group mentoring sessions at the annual conference the past few years, and provided guidance to professionals transitioning into UX from other disciplines. I am eager to bring this passion for community engagement and mentoring to UXPA Boston’s board, ensuring our organization remains an invaluable resource for UX professionals at all levels.
