This was very informative, even 2 years later. Well done!

Great and informative video! I'm doing some obsessive research about getting into UX with zero experience and was wondering if I should do UX design or UX research... definitely leaning moreso towards design since it encompasses research as well. Thank you so much for sharing!

This has been so helpful! You’re channel has become one of my favs especially as I’m graduating from my bootcamp next week and got so much info. Thanks

Your video is absolutely helpful and your voice is so calm, bravo 🙏🏿 Coming from a civil engineering background, I have always been interested in anything design related. I am also very interested in psychology and well being :) I'm graduating my Master's in IT and my thesis is on UI design and the impact of fonts to users psychology! Should I go for UX design or UX Researcher? I would like to apply the science of psychology (and research) a lot in my everyday job, as well as proposing web/app/service designs that can offer functionality and also be really attractive!
