Become a UX/UI Designer in 2023 | 6 months roadmap | no degree, no bootcamp, no experience

[@myshadow3074]

So many popular content creators and supposedly highly experienced UX designers on this platform. But until now it seems not a single one of them understands the meaning of the word roadmap. Nor could make a well designed user flow for someone undertaking UX design course. I have checked ever roadmap/guide not at the detriment of my searching efforts, this is the first time i have found a video which is actually a good fucking roadmap and to the point and does not try to sell their own shit at the cost of people's learning experience. You have done this world a great service through this one video. Keep up the great work. Subbed. We need more people like you.

[@alicja.outdraw]

Hahaha My heart dropped after reading the first line 🤣 Glad you liked the video! Many more like this to come 🙌

[@honeybeeola1333]

You're spot on. I had the same experience😂

[@bdrdn_t]

Finally a proper guideline🔥 Now it's time to start learning.

[@alicja.outdraw]

Sure thing! It's the most important to start 🙌🚀

[@akankshabisht007]

Amazing guide!! I'm soo glad I found it at just the right time!! Thanks a lot 💗 looking forward to my ux/ui design journey!! 💪

[@alicja.outdraw]

Thank you for sharing! ⭐Goog luck with your design journey and if you have any questions, please reach out 🙌

[@greatwave2480]

Thank you soo muuuuch!😭I've been learning on my own for around 4 month now but it's so hard to find and structurize all the things that you need to know I just find myself getting down one rabbit hole after another and it kinda makes me lose motivation bc no matter how much I read I just feel like a complete beginner dummy... What I mean is it's really nice of you to provide such nice and consise roadmap free of charge, hahaha! Since I'm currently unemployed and already have some knowledge I think I can finish the roadmap faster so I'll prolly make an update on whether I was able to find a job in 1-3 months! Okay, I'm off to study! 🤓✌

[@alicja.outdraw]

That's amazing! I'm sure you'll get through it super fast 🚀

Sounds really great. I'm going to check this out. I'm still working through a Udemy course which has done some really good Figma stuff, and also uses webflow for some basic development (Mostly just looking at basic business sites, but that does make up the majority of the web apparently - so I can definitely see the benefits of being able to build sites myself). I'm still a bit confused if Ux/UI designers are expected to actually create sites using things like web flow or just straight up coding, or if I can get some freelancing simply designing also? Will we actually learn to build on webflow in this road map? Little confused on this... I am really aiming for a career where I can be 100% remote working. Do you think this is doable? And could you try to help me understand my concerns above please? Really great content thankyou very much.

[@MooChimp]

Actually one more question - I click the guide, and I was expecting like a normal laid out course - but I think it is more like just suggestions of what to look at and learn / not necessarily actually being taught by you personally. Is this correct? Or have I mistaken something? Thanks, sorry for the long messages..

[@alicja.outdraw]

Thank you for leaving all those questions here. I'm sure answers will be halpful also for other Designers 🩷 (1) Webflow and coding - It depends on who you'll be working with. Many Product Design jobs are purely based on design, no development. They usually focus on creating applications, not websites. If you would like to get more into web design, it's a good idea to learn Wenflow so you can offer your clients a full service - design + website development. (2) Remote work - It's absolutely possible! I've been working remotely majority of my career. It takes more effort to find a job but it's doable. (3) The course / roadmap link - You're right. This is a quick guide I've put together so it's easier to navigate through the steps I've listed in the video. Would you like to me to create a more traditional course led by me or a self-paced lessons?

Thank you 🙌🎉

[@clotildadaniels6453]

Thanks for this,,, I've finished the Google UX design professional course and have other additional certifications too even from credly. I've been having issues getting a job and refurbishing my resume 🙃,,, can I reach out to know where I'm missing it?

[@alicja.outdraw]

Sure! Please, connect with me on linkedin www.linkedin.com/in/alicjasuska/

[@kareynjeri3982]

Thanks that was well explained . do you also have a structured roadmap for getting started with ui/ux (product designer ) only ?

[@alicja.outdraw]

This video is exactly about starting as a UX/UI and Product Designer 🙌

[@abdulrehmanqasim5759]

Lady..... AWESOME

[@alicja.outdraw]

Thank you 🙌

[@RootsandRoutes548]

I wanted to know how i can make my portfolio stand out from the competition?

[@alicja.outdraw]

The quality of projects and storytelling are the most important in a portfolio. It needs to be scannable, memorable, and concise 🚀 You can join my Free Portfolio Masterclass - it explains all the details: www.outdraw.academy/courses/portfolio-masterclass

[@madhanagopal9599]

I struggle to choose these two things in ux ui as a career , because of AI and career opportunities of freshers, what to do pls answer for thse two things

[@alicja.outdraw]

Could you please elaborate on what two things do you struggle to choose? When it comes to AI and opportunities for Junior Designers: - AI - Right now, AI is not developed enough to substitute UX Designers, especially for complex products. The best way is to learn how to use AI to your advantage and focus on designing for complex SaaS projects where replacing Designers will be difficult for a long time. - Opportunities for Junior Designers - I agree that there are limited opportunities for people starting their Design journey. I can recommend looking for internships, connecting with Design Leaders from your dream companies, working on free projects to gain experience and enrich your portfolio. Basically, do anything to no longer be considered a beginner, and move towards a Junior Designer. Hope it helps! 💛

[@mohamedtarig4413]

How much hours should I implement for this to finish it? And is there is any one really want to start with me in next 6 months??

[@alicja.outdraw]

It all depends on your dedication and how much work you'd like to put it 🩷 It is absolutely possible to go through those steps during 6 months, produce your first portfolio, and land an entry-level job or an internship. This last part (getting a job) depends on your location, economy, and luck 🥲 but you can take all the steps that depend on you. This will already get you very far into your design journey. Good luck! 🍀

[@vishugahlot397]

Hey do you have any suggestions for ux communities to which anyone can join and grow. Other than linkedin communities.

[@alicja.outdraw]

It's a good question! There are some good recommendations in this article: blog.uxtweak.com/top-ux-communities-and-groups/ Especially the Reddit and Discord sections. Overall though, we really need a good place to hang out as a UX community! It seems to be a missing piece tbh 😳

[@jaarrr85]

you might want to hide that 'no experience' part

[@alicja.outdraw]

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. Could you elaborate please?

[@owolabiolamide6168]

[@jimslyrics8071]

How to apply for internship

[@alicja.outdraw]

You need to look for companies who are hiring interns or junior Designers. Also, it's a good idea to reach out to managers from the companies you'd like to intern for 🚀
