A Realistic Day in the Life as a UX Designer | What I do day to day

Hello friends! In this video I'm showing you a realistic day in the life as a UX/UI designer. I walk you through what it's actually like to be a UX designer at small-medium sized company. I'm showing the meetings I'm in with product managers and developers, the tools like Figma & FigJam that I use to create workflows in order to complete my UX design tasks.

I've been doing Front-End development for the past six years, and in many roles, there was an attempt to incorporate UX design into developers' responsibilities. However, it always felt rushed until they hired a dedicated UX Designer, who brought a much deeper sense of user interface and experience design and conventions.

Yes!!! So happy to see a black woman UX designer! I'm about to graduate from general assembly from my 6 month UX course and I'm excited! You have a new subscriber, I'm loving to see another black woman in the field.

Talk about divine timing. Thank you for sharing this! I’m 3 months into a UX design certification program and I’m excited to get into the field.

This was extremely helpful to watch! I'm currently career changing and found out about UX/UI design and careers and finding someone who does "day in the life" work, where they show actual work being done is so difficult. This made me more excited to be doing the work to get there. Thank you so much!

[xokferg]

I loved this! You actually showed what you were doing. It's hard to find that on youtube where people SHOW what they're doing (I understand because of privacy) but this was so refreshing to watch. Also, I love your dog. The cutest thing! Subscribed :)

[annabellee]

Hey Steph, new subbie. I really love how you actually explain some of what your tasks are as an ux designer and don't just gloss over it like other YouTube. Also, your videos are so concise and informative!

[andrearin]

Loved this from beginning to end, this is EXACTLY what i needed to see what I'd potentially be getting into when i get ready to start my UX courses, thanks.

[UnbekannterSoldat]

That's a really good video. Maybe you can turn this into a series, by for example showing different types of typical UX tasks, like fixing issues together with devs or doing user research / testing or how you map out new features. I'm sure that many people who don't work UX but are interested in it might find this helpful, since a lot of material related to the topic is rather static. You on the other hand want to emphasise everyday workflows.

im in uni studying to be a ux designer and i really wanted to see how my future faily life would be, so this vid is very heppful, esp as a fellow black girl!! thank 🩷🫶🏾

[JAllen-txdi]

I so appreciate you showing an actual day in the life that is useful for us😘. So many of these videos are just the person in meetings and snacking. Which is fine if that is what’s happening in the day of recording but edit and show a day when you are doing some design too with the design tool you’re using.

[Alex-guws]

Great to watch this. I just had my first UX designer role and I felt lost, but this actually gives me a better idea of what one works on on a more concrete, granular level. And classic dog shenanigan at the end, lol.

[feeza]

Love this! So realistic
Also I appreciate the way you break down each tasks into bits

[CreativLEEProduction]

Hey, this is great to see. I'm graduating with my Interaction Design Degree from KSU on May 10th 2023 and it's always good to see what our job truly consist of considering most ppl still don't know what it is that we do.

[nellisabenjamin]

I’m taking a certification course in this and this video is so helpful and inspiring for me right now 🥰✨

[Matt_tsolo]

I am so happy to see a black woman working as a UX Designer. ❤️

[locdnloaded]

Glad I found you!! I use to search soo hard for black UX Designers before I got into the field!! Our day seems to be the same lol

[shaylynnb]

Hello! I’m currently in school for UX/UI and I’m so excited to see this video and how you explain what you’re doing and why. New subscriber!

[gemba-workspace]

I really liked how you focused on tasks, insights, pain points and evidence. Especially the pain points seem really important, especially considering they are 'human pain points', and I personally experience as a developer that it's easy to rush over this and just think in terms of functionality.

[FileMasterHDF]

i'm on break at my job right now, and i want to say this is quite interesting, never knew this is how a UX designer lives until now
edit: i subscribed ^^

[agusm]

thank you so much for actually showing some of your UX process, it great for some of us that are learning
