hey so I’m really looking to get into UX/UI design. I figured this was the easiest and smoothest transition. If possible could anybody list out some must dues or things I should probably do to be able to transition and land a job in the tech space. I love design. I love learning. I’ve been designing for 10 or so years and I feel the UX/UI design is a new challenge and something that has sparked my interest. I am willing to relocate if there are any opportunities available. also if there is any advice for positioning my resume and portfolio. I would really appreciate the advice.
Happy to help with this. Message me your portfolio and we’ll go from there.
My wife just went through the same. It's had been a but rough but after a few months she got a job in ui/ux seems like there is negative clout with going from graphic design to ui/ux
Would love to know more man. Why so?
I don't agree that there's some negative clout going from graphic to ux. but there is a huge difference nce in visual design vs experience design. ux is all about empathy and viewing your product from NOT your vantage point. ie. how would your mom/gramma use the product? also another angle is trying to break your own design. how would someone use this and find confusion or difficulty? ask "why" all the time, in every meeting, design review, and brainstorm. try to approach your next web/app design projects from a ux perspective. create wires, journey maps, customer journeys, etc. try to test it with users. graphic design is typically "make the site look goo with a home, about, contact and widgets page" and move onto the next client. but ux gets into the experience and individual use cases.
I completely understand and thank you. I feel I’ve picked up this empath approach from learning brand strategy and creative strategy and putting consumers first in marketing and design. I personally feel there’s a small bridge to cross just a different vehicle to learn and apply skill sets and pick up workflows.
Maybe as a production designer vs product designer you’d have a better transition
That’s what I currently do just I. The marketing/ad world but what do they do in tech?
Did the same a few years back and it was the best move. I did tons of Ui challenges but the true learnings of UX came from on the job learning honestly. Tons of practice and reading.
