State of UX in Hawaiʻi Report
We conducted our own study on the status of UX jobs, hiring, education, awareness, and audiences to give us a better understanding of how our programming could best support UXers in Hawai'i.
The report is currently done on a biennial basis to gain a better understanding of our UX design community.
Education Findings
of individual contributors hold a bachelor’s degree or higher
- 42% of managers have a master's degree or higher
- 40% of VPs, Directors, and C-level founders top out at a bachelor's
Career Findings
average local salary, versus $121,196 nationally
- 33% live on the islands but work for companies outside Hawai'i

Top Challenges
- Many business leaders do not know what UX is
- UX is not prioritized or funded
- The UX job market in Hawai’i is limited
The State of UX Report charts our progress towards advancing the field of UX by:
- Inspiring local business leaders to find and hire UX professionals
- Generate opportunities for new UXers to gain experience
- Host collaborative events to strengthen the UX community
