BALAZS SIMONYI: One of the first things I designed as a kid was an airplane, which weighed 20 kilograms so it didn’t fly at all. I discovered that design is really important for me, so creating things and showing people what I’ve created. And I think that makes me happy, and that it drives me every day.
I’m working in the digital marketing team as a UX designer. We are responsible for the whole digital ecosystem of BlackRock. We made a lot of user testing, and we captured them on videos, and we were watching them. For myself, it’s really interesting to catch those points where they fail or they have some problems.
But I’m really surprised how other people in the team realized the same, and they were really inspired by that and wanted to change that immediately. That’s part of why I feel that I not only help our customers, but also our team or the whole company with something.
