Your talk deeply resonated with me, especially as a self-taught individual. Beyond mastering design tools, the journey includes prototyping, various research methods, design processes, case studies, presentations, and whiteboarding - an endless process. Your insights have given me the confidence to start my own case study. Despite knowing what needs to be done, psychological barriers like fear and self-doubt pose powerful challenges to overcome.
OMG good luck with your case study! Analysis paralysis is real, just remember that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is right now. You've got this!
I love this so much because I’m currently at this stage, I took the Google UX course and I started seeing terminologies I never heard of and it’s distracted me from Doing the foundational things I learned.
Been following your RUclips channel for quite some time now and I absolutely love the content you've been making. As a person who's currently in the middle of transitioning career paths, I can relate with a lot of things that you talk about in your videos, especially the psychological toll it takes on a person who's trying to switch careers. Your videos have been helping me out a lot to stay on track and not lose sight of the goal. Would love it if you could make a video on the dummy project that you did for your portfolio and what should be one's approach while making the same. Keep up the good work, Morgan. Lots of love.
Really helpful Morgan! I needed to hear this because sometimes I get distracted but the other shiny thing that I think will benefit me on my path of improvement. Very sage advice!!
Ahh you nailed my exact issues right now. Imposter syndrome has me panicking. Just finishing up an online course for learning UXDESIGN and your video has helped me with great insights into what I need to focus on now.
Girl same ! If only I could have told myself the reality of UX competitiveness to myself 3 years ago... and even before that. SMH): The struggle is real. What is your advice to someone with too much education and no full time work experience in UX/UI design. I have been struggling with barriers to entry for such a awhile now.. Should I stay in a masters, is it valuable in this field even if someone doesn't have a lot of work experience (like 1-2 internships kind of embarrassed ) ? Thank you so much for sharing, documenting your experience, and being raw/honest about it.
I definitely wouldn't drop out if you're in the middle of getting a degree, but the good news is that it keeps you at a student status! That means more internship opportunities! 1-2 internships is not embarrassing AT ALL, that IS working experience - the amount you get paid/status at the company has nothing to do with it. Like anyone else, make sure your portfolio is solid. I'd love to take a look at it if you'd like!
Thanks for sharing! What are some tips and advice in getting more experience in projects? Especially those that "count". The bootcamp that I am going to start will have only 2-3 projects. And I definitely have the imposter syndrome!
I personally worked on a project that I came up with because I saw a problem in real life that I wanted to solve - I treated it as if I was really going to hand it off to developers and launch it. You can also reach out to small businesses that may need website help, or friends that have/want to start businesses. There are also design jams and hackathons out there where you can get experience working with another person!
I’m considering a career change and just recently started entertaining the idea of UX/UI. I’m currently signed up for the Google Certificate. Would you recommend a bootcamp after that?
So sorry I didn't see this sooner, I stopped getting comment notifications for some reason. I have not personally done the Google Certificate, but I imagine it's on par with a bootcamp (only difference might be that Coursera doesn't have dedicated tutors/mentors or job prep like bootcamps tend to). It's all about your learning style - if you feel that you can learn enough from the Google Certification program that you can go off and do your own projects then I would go for it. But if you want to do a bootcamp regardless, I'd skip the Google program and go right to the bootcamp.

This is so sweet, thank you so much for being such a dedicated viewer! The video about the dummy project is a great idea! I'll look to make that soon!
