Career change progress diary❗️Pivoting to UX Design

I've been busy making a career change to UX design! Deciding to leave behind a comfortable job can be daunting, but it was time for me to delve more into the design aspects of my job. I have prior experience in this area and keen to develop it so over the course of a few months I learned some additional skills and cleaned up my CV ready to pivot my career trajectory.

Hope you find this video helpful, let me know your experience with changing careers, I will hopefully be making a lot more content around design.

Hello Lilly. What resources did you use to learn the skills for ux design? I am in a bootcamp currently, but I want to find ways to improve outside of the bootcamp. Congratulations on your success, very motivating!

[hellothanksforbeinghere]

Hi Lily. Thanks so much for uploading this video (and others). I am a bit older than you but I find it really inspiring and have been wanting to make the jump for myself, for some time now. I think these are really practical tips and I really appreciate them, so thank you so much again. Just wondering, what computer desktop setup you have? I was thinking of getting a Mac desktop, but if I didn't need to due to the expense, I would like to avoid it where possible!

Hi Lily~
Did you use PowerPoint to present your works? Or how does it work?

[grantposton]

Is this career stressful or do you find it fairly good for work-life balance?

[rahulgaikar]

Hello i belive you must be busy but am also UX self taught and I would love to have a chat with you.
great video tho Obvi their are so many things which can be batter i feel but with this low content really great quality

[zahralofton]

hey Lily i’m looking to get into UX design (as a complete beginner and third year uni student) and i was wondering if you thought any of the online courses (google, careerfoundry etc) are any good at building a portfolio? thanks x

[pimpidachan]

I found your contents are very helpful and relatable for someone who’s looking for new career! I’m debating if I should get into bootcamp since almost everyone say it will save a lot of time, and you will learn a lot from mentor. If you don’t mind me asking I would like to know what’s your main resource to teach yourself a ux design’s skills ? thanks!
