Thank you 😊

What did you use to build this beautiful animated portfolio? I'm just beginning to study this field for a possible career transition.

Hi Stephanie, what is your opinion/ what have you heard on UX Apprenticeships? I have a bach degree in Web/App Development & the Google UX Cert and as of right now I applied for Interaction Design Grad School, but even if I get in, I don't think I can afford it at all, even with loans. I haven't been able to find work in a year and this includes things outside of UX like retail and food service. I just feel really helpless and would love to do a bootcamp as well but I have no money. So I am applying to apprenticeships that require no upfront cost from me. Do you have any advice for someone like me?

Hello! Is Google certificate ok?

You are speaking life into me. Did a bootcamp (not springboard unfortunately and im too broke to do another) and there was no hope lol. But I’ve mustered up hope again by watching you. I’m subscribed to linked in jobs. I look at the requirements and working on meeting those requirements. Thank you for your videos!

I’m so lost seeing all these job postings for Sr. designers, lead designers, director designer. I’m just the sad hamster meme with my jr resume 🐹🥺

This was great!

Hi Stephanie, I found your channel today and I looooove your videos. What camera do you use to record these videos?

I loved this video! :)

You mentioning those other industries is a great point and motivates me to really consider starting off w/ Coursera's Google UX course to get my feet wet to see if this is worth it. If anybody reading this has any other affordable & credible recommendations please let me know!

I’m considering studying this next year 😅

Thank you so much for this review! I’ve been contemplating and this definitely gives me more confidence to choose Springboard.

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.

I’m trying to find a career I can enjoy while making a living . Google certificates offer UX design I was going to look into it . Will that even be accepted ? Wondering for myself 😂

Trying LinkedIn

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.

Let me know what you guys are doing to find a UX job!

can you please share how you organize your to do lists/ calendar?

The meeting fatigue and having to fight and defend for my ideas are really discouraging me from what I thought would be a the right career change for me... Thank you for the real insights Stephanie!

Thanks for watching! What does your setup look like? Let me know down below!

Let me know if I missed anything! I'd be happy to answer any other questions below!

I hope you guys enjoyed this look into my work day!

Hey! I know that all companies are different, but for each task do you feel like your company gives you enough time to complete everything? Like for the journey mapping exercise, how long would you say you worked on that?

Was it a long process before you got hired? Did you go through a lot of interviews?

Super insightful Stephanie! Thank you! I am officially beginning my journey into UX and the coolest term you mentioned for me is the breadcrumb! Thanks for the tip - I'll be saving for when I start my portfolio projects!

What did you study in uni?

Off-topic but what foundation are you wearing? Flawless skin!

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!

Would you still recommend bootcamps? if yes, do you have any options? In your experience, do you think a business degree helps in becoming a UX designer?

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 youuuuu 🩷🫶🏾

You are so pretty :)

Great you are so kind & loyal!

Hi Steph! Thanks for uploading videos like this. Really enjoy all of them! I would like to see more content about how to gain confidence as a UX Designer, especially when you’re new in a company and you have to justify your design choices. I mean, if you could tell us a bit of how you went through that process after you graduated from bootcamp, that would be so useful to listen to. Thanks again ❤

is your job 100% remote?

Love you!

Your videos are great at giving me an actual idea of what the ux/ui career could be like.!

Been following your journey for a minute and you inspired me to start my own journey into UX. Would be great to see how you used notion and any templates or guides you used because it's not sticking for me just yet as you mention. I know you mentioned plugins in your pervious videos so would be great to have a video on more plugins you genuinely use. Thanks for your content

Had to subscribe after looking through tons and tons of UX/UI designers that would not scare you off with what it's about. You make it look more understandable 😊. Cause I'm about to do a slight not so slight career switch

Thanks so much for breaking down your workflow and the tools that you are using to complete your tasks and projects.

Watching this is giving me such motivation I went from me. Interior decorater to now finishing up my google UX course love to see another black women in the field!!

You're really pretty

Hey Steph, hope you're doing well? I'm thinking about a career change and to pursue the UX design. What are your thoughts about it ?

Wow! Thank you for making this video. I’m in a similar boat- have been working as an interior designer for the 8 years and I feel exhausted, burnt out and the pays are so low. I’ve worked in enough studios to see this level of stress over and over. I’ve seen designers slowly lose touch with their personal lives as they get more and more projects in - its horrible! I’m currently researching other job paths before I resign from my current one- considering real estate and perhaps do design as freelance :)
