  • This is not meant to discourage you in becoming a UX Designer. Before I decided to go into this career, I wish there was more honest perspectives on what it's like being a UX Designer. Either way, this is my own personal experience and I hope it sheds some light or helps gives you direction on your career change!

    I share the sentiment omg. I work as graphic designer in advertising agency and it was insane. The workload is insane, the deadline is insane and the expectation is unrealistic. Sometimes it makes me questioning my ability "Can I even do graphic design?" LOL

    “DON’T LOOK AT ME!” LOL so relatable 😂 Thanks for sharing and being transparent! I really appreciate all your videos. I’m 26 and am hoping to switch fields to the UX industry. It’s a scary time for sure but I’m trying to embrace the uncertainty & take the risk for a better future.
    Sending love to another San Diegan ❤ Thanks for being our big UX sister! 🙂

    Actually I have experience in ux and design for over 13 years. And I hope to change this career it’s too hard, and all the time you work under pressure and all the time thinking of the deadlines. I ask God to help me to change this career to something better. Thank you!

    Collaboration is definitely hard, so many people their own personal preference or end up just getting they way because they’ve outspoken the minority or they are in a higher position than you. Or when you have some that are fixated on a brand and want everything to follow their style regardless of what foundations you have set up.

    Hey guys! I need your help. I'm slowly learning about UX/UI. Currently, my university degree is more focused on economics, administration, systems, and software, but to be honest, I'm not really into that. I want to learn UX/UI, I want to work in this field. Can someone recommend a bootcamp or course I could take? Or maybe a book, RUclipsr, or any resource? I just need information. And yes, I know practice is key, so I've started using Figma. Thanks a lot, and have a great day!
