Thank you Steph :) For me, the hardest part is speaking in videos; when I watch them back, I don't like how I look :D It's so interesting, because in the summer I play music as a DJ in front of thousands of people, and I'm not nervous at all.

Thanks for consistently posting Steph ❤️

Thanks for the sneak peak into your setup! I was struggling through the learning process on my ipad and eventually got a monitor on sale lol The bigger screen was a game changer. I'm working on my portfolio now and praying that all this hardwork helps me pivot into this field successfully 🤞🏽

Love from India, Keep uploading more!

I started a short course as of yesterday. Looking forward to learning and transitioning into UX successfully!

Hi Stephanie! Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful. I was thinking the same about the non-sexy industries.. I am a follow my own path type of person so figured to explore those industries that aren’t popular.. so thanks for tip! I’ve been researching for a year now and finally ready to pull the trigger on a bootcamp. Any thoughts on a great bootcamp? I’ve been strongly considering designlab or springboard.

I think that is more convenient for companies/agencies to work remotely without having to pay expensive rents just to have office space. Maybe it’s just enough to have one or two days a week a real meeting in a rented space. By the way your videos are informative and useful thanks for sharing.

My wife is an interior designer looking to go into ux design through springboard after watching your videos. Would you have some time to talk to her

I officially transition into my UX Design career in a few weeks. Excited to get started! Your channel has been super helpful and inspirational!

Would you ever consider product management?

Would love to see a video on what KPI’s you can expect as a UI/UX designer or how your performance might be measured/reviewed! Loving your videos btw! :)

I really love your videos like they are amazing u earned a sub! keep up the amazing work girl. Peace

Great video, thank you! Any "What I'm reading" vids in the pipeline, or are you on Goodreads so we can get your recs :)

Hi! New to the channel and appreciate the insight. Is it possible to start ux design with an iPad Pro to test whether or not this is something you want to pursue? Or is a laptop/pc definitely required?

Wow, I can relate SO MUCH to your interior design background. I went from graphic design(BA) to interior architecture(Master), thinking I was following my dream but only to find out how toxic the architecture industry is and how underappreciated knowledge and professional architects and designers are in the field of the built world. I never thought in the middle of my interior design job, I was going to be measuring toilet fixtures in my client's megamillion-dollar home construction site while drafting CAD, rendering SketchUp, calculating costs, preparing a full set for a building permit, picking tiles and wallpaper, and negotiating shipping costs for a custom-made door from china all within my $25 part-time job. I am debating between Springboard UX bootcamp and Designlab. Thanks for your video! I am so ready for a change.

Majority of the industries are over saturated. Do it anyway! Just make sure you do quality work!

Hey, thanks for the great video. Im in the middle of Google UX Design course in Coursera and I need some motivation. I sometimes feel like I cant handle it anymore and im dumb but trying to be go through and not giving up! Wish me luck

Hello Stephanie. Is there anyway that we can chat about the idea of getting in the field and where to begin?

Thank you !

I am considering UI UX Design from coursecareers in March. I have always been creative and enjoyed things like web design, and graphic design.

hey hey! i had a doubt. is it worth it to do a 4 year bachelor degree in digital product design? would it be still the same if i join a short term course?

Thank you for sharingg!!❤

Glad to know, I am not the only who is annoyed by their own potential. I also appericate your honesty about UX Design industry especially as a someone in the design field it not all rainbow and butterflies.

Yeah that’s the thing that scares me. I’m a college student rn in for UX design that’s under graphic design. I have cold feet about getting my toes in the work force. I do have connections to get in easily but long term I’m shaking!

Hello, how will the UI & UX designer profession be in the future and what is the impact of artificial intelligence?

I am six months late but your video still encouraged me

There's nothing that's easy in this world actually.. People giving up on UX are generally Lazy... Coming from a Programming background, I'll always say People who give up in design can't do well in coding

UX deisgn isn't hard

Which bootcamp helped you land a job?

is AI going to impact this field? is it already?

I've had Springboard in my "to review" list for a spell. But I've been trying to find a role that allows me to do use my design and workflow experience,. I was told by a programming bud that I may want to consider UX Design, though I like elements of both UX and UI, I just do not want to be talking or presenting too much.

I'm guessing the stress level is a little low😊

💯

Hii me again😂. I literally wrote down points for my resume ealier today then your video popped up thank youu!! Do you think its a good idea to mention that you run a small business? It points to a variety of different skills but I feel like its a bit sketchy. What do you think?

Me watching this with my empty portfolio lol

Fantastic video. Its so complex because sometimes things feel better, sometimes they feel worse

I was wondering if US based companies are really hiring remote workers outside of the US. Or even if its remote you gotta be in the US So I know atleast when applying for jobs where my focus should be.

Just to add to your point about education time investment to earn around $70k starting pay....I'm an ex-high school teacher with a master's degree and my ENDING pay when I quit after 19 years in K12 was $57K. So... yeah 👍 😢

I graduated from a bootcamp and haven’t gotten any offers but just ghosting and rejection, i was really struggling with did I even have projects that were good enough to make myself marketable which led to me self doubting and feel incompetent as a designer

Hey Stephanie👋🏼 Great video! Can you give me some advice on how to land a job in the US? I've sent a lot of cv to us companies but none has granted me an interview yet. And since I don't a have a working visa I can't just go there and get a job, but I would very much do so because there is no design related industry in my country and so there are very very few job openings.

This was so helpful ❤

subbed yesterday and now here you are!

@hellostephaniem doing well here. Hope you're doing well and so glad I found your channel, I'm just started on my UX design education journey.

Wellness check! How is everyone doing?

Thanks 🤗🤗

Really helpful thank you!❤

Omg I’m an interior designer also looking to switch! This is super helpful and encouraging. Thank you!!

Hello, what a great career. Plus you get to work from home, without commuting back and forth.

Love this. Thank you!
