    I've been seeing random info about UX design so much lately, and then I came across this vid.. it may be a sign. every time I tried looking into it on my own though it seemed really intimidating and very tech-y. I have a fashion & graphic design background, so I wasn't sure if this was a route I could go down, but you explain everything SO well, & makes the whole field seem less scary haha. thank you 🙏🏾!

      If the link doesn’t work. Try to google “sign up for google 100k scholarship faq” or RUclips “google scholarship 100k”. It’s not open yet to sign up for. I think it’s a waiting list or something. They just drop this news in July for during corona.

      I’m a UX grad student with an art and fashion background. I totally was intimidated at first, but very excited when I learned more about it. In my views though, design is design. We are all solving various problems with various materials and tools whether fashion, visual, architects, industrial designers, etc! User experience is just one way way to ask questions and problems and form solutions with a strong user focus. With that in mind, I think leveraging your various experiences could be your strength! Good luck on your journey!

But was so put off by how expensive it is to go to uni. But your video and simple steps has given me courage to do break into this by myself. Thank you so much and I am now a new subscriber of your channel 😊 . You will definitely hear from me soon to give me feedback on my work.

    On my experience on the field and may other fields... You don't need to have a degree on any visual, programming, designing, etc to be a professional on the field with high paying salaries. I only finish high school and I am a Producer, Art Director, UI, UX designer, Artificial Intelligence Designer, Broadcast Motion Graphics Designer and Product Designer. My salary always being higher then graduated and folks with PHD on the field. When I try to hire people on my field I always ask for a DEMO REEL and if the person know how to draw. If they don't have both, I would never hire that person. Now, there are some areas like video editor but even that most companies now requires you to know AE, AI and Photoshop with design skills in place... so again, it goes how much you know how to design and create motion graphics today. If you don't have no of what I said, find a field that you are good at it. Time is priceless!

      Daeguma I totally agree. I feel that the pandemic has made people realize that we have to spend our time wisely even when choosing something as simple as a career. I’m pursuing an IT degree at the moment, but I have realized overtime my passion for HCI is real! So what’s the point of wasting money at a university? HCI or UX design is most definitely the future, and as she said in the video they’re already making 90k so it’s a no brainer for me🤷🏾‍♀️
