Desk Plates for UX Designers Under $50
When you want to go big (but not suspiciously big). The perfect desk plates for the ux designers in your life without breaking the bank.
Why Desk Plates for UX Designers
UX design is fighting for users while navigating stakeholder opinions and technical constraints. You see problems others create.
That generic nameplate on your desk says 'Account Manager' but your soul says 'Professional Email Ignorer.' Our desk plates bridge that gap. They're the perfect blend of professional enough to stay on your desk and honest enough to make your coworkers snort-laugh. Finally, a nameplate that tells the truth.
About the $50 Budget
Fifty dollars says 'this person matters to me' without triggering an HR investigation into your relationship. This is boss gift territory. Retirement party territory. 'You saved my ass on that project and I'll never forget it' territory. These are the gifts that sit on desks for years, not the ones that end up in a drawer by January.
