The first video i watched, you mentioned how you prayed after quitting your job for God to guide you, that video made me subscribe it shows how realistic you are, not ashamed of the gospel and who you are, i love your videos, looking forward to learn ui/ux from you ..have a blessed one

I’m a self taught UX/UI designer transitioning from Industrial Design. And I’m loving the process! I was never the best at sketching realistic drawings but I was always super into process flows. 😂🙌🏼 I’m in the perfect industry now

[CoolIntellect]

Spot on timing! Just started my journey into UX design and your video is an absolute gem. Already enrolled in the Google UX Design certificate as you recommended. Your guidance is making this learning process a lot smoother. Thanks and eagerly awaiting more!

[Faithishaku]

Thank you for this video! I’m a beginner and I’m still tryna to find my way around this.

[TannerBarcelos]

I’m a software engineer and comp sci graduate with 3 years experience. While I love engineering and love building software, I feel my passions lie in a much more creative area like UX/Product design. While working with UX designers in my current role, and previous roles, I found the work to be super interesting and spark a joy in me.

This is all leading me to want to make a change into this field. This video helped a lot for understanding how to get started.

Oh wow! So I am going to be honest here. Last year I watched this video and I did not really understand what was being communicated but I just listened to this again and am amazed that am now beginning to understand it. Wow! Thank God for that and thank You also @andres 🙏🏽

[thenerdsanctum]

I needed this so this is perfect timing. I have been in the IT field for almost a decade but always had a passion for design and I want to make a switch to UX. Definitely saving this! Thank you again. I think my biggest struggle with this is step 2. Definitely could use more advice on that.

Your video on UX design steps is truly insightful! I have a question: Can you share the most memorable "lightbulb moment" you've had while working on a UX project? Looking forward to hearing your experience! 🌟

[CleoEdwardss]

I’ve been doing ux for about 6 months and honestly I’m not in a rush right now I’m like honestly trying to learn as much as possible I switched my major to UX/UI like yes I want client work but I feel like learning in school will help me about more I’m a slow learner lol

[snehaljain]

The fact that the two ui/ux designers I follow posted today :)

[ojayz]

Love it! Random question but what is the main font u use for ur video haha

[monicas]

Thank you for this insightful video! I do have a question though.. I recently watched your video about how you became a self-taught UX designer in 3 months, and at the moment as I'm searching for a UX job, I'm having doubts as to whether or not I am fulfilling my purpose God has for me by fufilling this path. What sort of advice would you have for someone who has doubts? How would you be able to discern if this path a door God has opened for me?
