A day in the life of a UX Designer NOT in San Francisco (but still forreal)

[@monicasdesignprocess]

I love how you chose 3 other amazing women working in the design industry NOT in other typical cities. Would love to see this as a series going forward! It could be cool to features designers from all across the world!

[@MatthewEncina]

The title of the video though. Good stuff Alexa

[@taemariee3427]

[@tori3951]

Great video! Very informative and informational thank you!Loved the 3 diff pov!

[@GemmaHelyer]

This is such a cool video and a great idea! It's nice to see other designers day in a life and see what it's like from their perspective. Have you thought about doing an international version? More than happy to share my day in the life from across the pond :)

[@HelloImAlexa]

Ooooh 👀 that's a great idea Gemma! Let's make it happen in 2020

[@GemmaHelyer]

[@austinandriese]

Love this vid Alexa! Super sweet getting different perspectives

[@katiehoang4247]

Love the diverse roles and variety of industries in this video. I def agree working in San Francisco doesn’t have to be the end all be all for aspiring UXers

[@oliviayp]

LOVE this content! Thank you for compiling these stories and getting some various narratives out there.

[@HelloImAlexa]

Thank you!! You're so welcome :)

Thank you so much for this video, I have always seen videos for "In SanFran" and I really appreciate you putting this together with professionals not in the area. This is a field that really interests me and something I have thought about working to get into but I am not local to the San Fran area.

[@HelloImAlexa]

You're so, so welcome!

Thanks for this video Alexa! I loved it, it was so insightful to see designers' work life outside of the bay area.

[@HelloImAlexa]

yayyy so glad to hear :)

[@JamieMPhoto]

This is an awesome video, and makes me more excited to try to re-enter the workforce after this period of pandemic unemployment. It's exciting to hear about people who aren't completely miserable at an archaic workplace. 😅

[@ItsCarleaJean]

Love! Subbed!

[@HelloImAlexa]

Yayyy! thank you 💙

[@juansebastianruani601]

Awesome video, girls rock!

Do you have any tips for building a portfolio in the UX field? I’m a recent graduate in interaction design but don’t have too many projects that I’m proud of to put in my portfolio. What kind of projects should I make up for my portfolio? Thanks 😊

[@08truelife]

Same

[@HelloImAlexa]

Hi there! I have quite a few portfolio related videos. I'll include a few here to get you started: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKjVn2OafbBjhpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6POlJ6wfJWLfNE kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpOzqXV7Z5WZfNk If you're not proud of any of your projects yet, I'd say just keep working on new projects or iterating on old ones until you've got work you are proud of! It doesn't need to be perfect, but if you aren't proud of the work that will likely come out in your interviews. It's a tough challenge but keep working and I know you will figure it out 🔥 For the projects themselves, make sure to include about 2-3 that are related to the field. UX Design is somewhat of an expansion field make sure your work is relevant to the roles you are applying to. This video may be helpful for you for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lae3d6t9rpd3oMU Good luck!

Nice video thank you

[@luckychonk9527]

I have to be honest Alexa, I want to be a UX designer. I'm currently in uni studying a double major in business & computer science. But as a brown asian from a muslim country, I DO NOT EVER want to set foot in the United States ever again after recent events in the U.S with police brutality, gun violence, and anti-asian hate. Just my personal anxieties surrounding, quite literally, getting shot or hatecrime'd. So this video was so great for me!! I'm excited to begin a career in UX in tech world outside of the U.S, much less san fran.

[@HelloImAlexa]

Awe, that makes me sad to hear. There's definitely a lot going on in the world politically speaking but I hope you know that a LARGE majority of Americas are accepting of people with unique backgrounds and stand by you as a brown asian from a muslim country. I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed this video and it spoke to you! Wishing you nothing but the best 🔥👏

[@tokwarm]

THAT TITLE LMAOOOO

[@HelloImAlexa]

What?

[@tokwarm]

@@HelloImAlexa No no no it was a great video. I was just laughing so hard because every single "a day in the life of a UX designer" I've watched on KZbin has been from people in SF. So it was kinda funny and refreshing to read your video's title.

[@HelloImAlexa]

@@tokwarm gottttcha haha, amazing! Well glad I've caught you off guard with this one :)
