A Michigan homecoming sparks a story about Chuck's first job out of college – a small-town newspaper gig that became an accidental design system, a crash course in invisible work, and an early lesson in the politics of people who need you more than they respect you.

In this episode we descend into the portfolio theft circle of UX Design Hell, a horrid place reserved for designer wannabes who steal work to reframe it as their own. Chuck gives you his firsthand account of discovering his work hosted on someone else’s case study, and why the empathy that designers try to cultivate talks them right out of their righteous anger. The only way out is through, with documentation, attribution, and courage. Come join the rapport!
