Hi Ujjwal in my company we do UI designs only as it's a small company UX is not given importance. Now I want to switch the company, so can I apply for a job only as a UI designer also what should my portfolio look like as I have done no UX in my projects. I'm just waiting for your reply. Thx
You will be reducing opportunities for yourself if you just apply for UI roles and not take up product design/UX roles. Here is what I suggest you do: having good UI is a skill not many people possess, so that will be an advantage that you will have over others. The only filter that will impact your application is that you don’t have any part of UX in your portfolio. What you can do is spend sometime and do dummy projects focusing on doing some research on your own. Find a problem to solve around you, whose users are people in your circle so that user research becomes easier for you. Try to make your portfolio complete with both UI and UX projects. While you are at it, practice presenting your work, with your friends, or whoever you can find. Working in agencies also doesn’t give you ample opportunities to present your work. I think all this will solve for the gap you feel you might have.
Thank you Ujjwal for clarifying everything in a simple way.
Glad you liked it!
thanks for this video 🙌
