Introducing Mock IT: A Design, HCD, and Culture Podcast

Written by Rachel Teter | 08/26/2021

Mock IT is a design and culture podcast sponsored by MetroStar. The podcast takes an inside look at design thinking, the thoughts of UX Designers, and trending design topics in the government space.

Liz and Marie, passionate UX Designers, and the hosts of Mock IT explore the design topics in government that excite them, inspire them, or make them go, "hmm?"

Their first episode, launched on Aug. 25, features Liz, Marie, and their professional relationship. They cover how they met, how their friendship has grown, their work in government, and the forming, storming, and norming we all go through when starting a new project or job.

 Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing are four stages of psychological development a team endures when working on a project. 

Liz and Marie offer insights into forming strong relationships with your coworkers and understanding the stages of team development on UX teams.
