A Huge Thank You to Fetch for Hosting UX Club - UW Madison! 🎉
Last Friday, our visit to Fetch was nothing short of inspiring! We gained valuable insights into UX, product design, and workplace culture, and it was amazing to see firsthand how a flat management structure fosters collaboration, creativity, and empowerment.
Key Takeaways from Our Visit:

✨ Collaboration fuels success – Fetch’s open and transparent culture ensures that every voice is heard, creating a space for innovation and teamwork.
📚 Growth is a mindset – Cassy and Shichao highlighted the importance of mentorship, curiosity, and continuous learning in any career stage.
🚀 Embrace opportunities – Matteo, Cassy, and Shichao’s career journeys showed that your degree doesn’t define your path—taking chances does.
⏳ Time management is key – Balancing multiple projects as a designer requires blocking focused work time while staying engaged in team collaboration.
🔍 User research matters – Fetch’s approach to UX research adapts to different user groups, from B2B clients to everyday consumers, ensuring an intuitive experience for all.
🐶 Fun fact: The dog-themed meeting rooms were a creative and fun touch—so Fetch! 🐾
