“Little bit by bit. Incremental improvements to change a culture or habits is really necessary and discipline to be able to do that. ”

In episode 105 of #TDLS, I sat down with Aldrich Tan. Aldrich is the CXO and Co-founder of NextPay.ph, the best alternative to bank accounts for small businesses and entrepreneurs in the Philippines, and the Managing Director of UXPH, the largest non-profit design organization and community in the Philippines.

He is a Sr. Experience Architect and Design Leader who has led teams in some of the most successful tech companies throughout the US, Canada, and the Philippines such as BlackBerry, Getty Images, Artefact, and Remitly.

Being a huge advocate for collaboration and design learning, he helps companies weave design and creative culture into their ethos through consultations, workshops, and mentorship, while helping champion the cause to raise the standards of design practices throughout the Filipino tech community. In this episode we talked about:

- His awesome ground up stories
- How he and his team started NextPay PH even during pandemic while managing a UX community
- Practical advice on how to transition from freelancing to building your own business
- Why incremental improvements to change a culture or habits is really necessary
- And much much more...
