Your video was an answered prayer, and your videos have been the perfect starting point.

    This video is titled UX but there is mostly talk about your eye for the visual, which is great but sounds more like UI design to me. As a UX designer on a two person team the amount of visual work I do is minimal, even though we’re responsible for it. UX is more about the research, the user flows, the empathizing and defining problem statements and managing stories. I spend more time in Jira than I do Figma. Good video all in all but folks getting started in UX should understand the difference between UI and UX because they’re not the same thing, even if sometimes you do both in a small org such as I do.

      @uxuidesigner1048 2 года назад +12

      To be honest, in the end, UX or UI, our job is to solve what the Client wants, I have seen a product that doesn't do any UX except Competitive audit and still be successful out there but I do understand that when the market gets oversaturated with apps, the one that has good UX and UI behind it will be on top

    • @antonioruberto7077
      @antonioruberto7077 2 года назад +16

      Totally agree with these replies. I work on a two person design team at a small company so I understand having to be full stack. I work on improving the usability of enterprise software used for compliance screening and anti-money laundering. Not flashy. Not sexy. But, our users have incredibly specific and complex needs and that is where the hardcore UX knowledge comes into play. A flashy UI or pretty screens will not help these users. I see trends with folks talking about UX and sometimes focusing too much on UI and forgetting about what UX actually is, which is to understand users. The RUclips channel VA Experience does an amazing job at outlining these topics.

    I immediately spotted the "GOD Is A Designer" quote behind you... then, boom, you mentioned praying to GOD. I loved that.
    And, boy, this is such good content. I can literally feel the work that went into creating this video. Thanks, Andres. You earned a new follower :hugs: I'd find other ways to reach out beyond RUclips comment section. Maybe a LinkedIn chat or so, if you don't mind, of course.
    Man, I'm not even done with the video... just had to come back to add that... it's really awesome. Lool. And the video editing skill? Woosh! :fire: (Shoutout to Noah.. Lol)

    I love your story, the prayer part hooked me. It's not everyone who is vocal about their faith. I love that. And I've seen three videos on RUclips on how they became UX designer in three months and I'm sold. I'm on that journey already. My own prayer too is that God guides my step. 😊
    Thanks for sharing your story. ❤

    I loved the part when you said you prayed to God to guide you "why you placed on earth" :D Im in the exact same boat, Oh my God so relatable video!
    Everything you say.. well paid, demanding job, not even 5 minutes to do your self-projects because staying late, so you try to learn everything in that remaining few hours.... I'm also close to the "demand letter" because I dont work good in the last few weeks, and I feel deep down I will either get fired or I give my resignation letter first.. I'm feeling that this wont work, so I have to learn something new... exactly as my situation right now!
    I feel I dont want to continue, but I have no clue at all what to do next, too much expectation everywhere... Thanks for your story!

    I think this type of content is a bit misleading because you can’t really become a ux designer in 3 month. That just diminishes the importance and difficulty of the work that we do. It takes at least a year to become somewhat proficient at it.

    • @AndresTheDesigner
      @AndresTheDesigner  2 года назад +40

      There’s no doubt it takes lots of hard work! But becoming a “proficient” UX designer is different than becoming a UX designer. I believe you become a UX designer when someone pays you to do UX design. But you are welcome to disagree 👍🏼

Currently at a very well paid banking job that people would kill for,but my mind is constantly on design. I too felt lost in design at a point until I came across the futur and Chris Do, and somewhere last year I got hold of the book “Never Split the difference”. I’m currently exploring UI/UX design and hope to learn more from you. All the best on your journey Andres!

    I initially disliked this video because I don't like it when people say 'like and subscribe, I'll wait' at the beginning of the video, it's cheeky and annoying. But the rest of the video was interesting and I liked how you shared your mistakes and pitfalls, plus how you asked god what to do and tuned into yourself to get direction. I'm at a career crossroads at the moment and I'm researching UI design as one option. My reservations about it are a) If it involves a lot of meetings, as an introvert that would be unappealing b) Are we building a digital dystopia where human interaction is a thing of the past?

    Wow. Had a somewhat similar experience on the exit part of my previous career into the creative field. I was a systems operations engineer but was always drawn to the visual communications side of everything I worked on. Towards the end as I pursued more product design/UX/UI roles my 9 to 5 performance was taking a hit and I also received a PIP. There was some controversy there afterward but basically, I was given the heads up I was going to be let go.
    I'm in a design role now and still have aspirations to be in a UX role but am really really enjoying the design work I'm doing now while I'm slowly slowly preparing to apply to a UX positiions.
