Finally a day in the life working video where you show that most of the day is actually working!! people always make it look like in tech you have a few fun meetings, do lunch and go home after a couple hours of actual work

[@AlienaCai]

Aha, glad you liked it! The filming and story telling was challenging since I can't just film myself beside my desk and put it in half of my vlog 🤣 I could see why most vlogs look like there's very little working. Glad I found a way to overcame that vlogging challenge 😄

[@Fendysign]

Manifesting to have a great life like ya Aliena! Thanks for sharing about your life as a UIUX Designer. Super inspiring!

[@AlienaCai]

You're so welcome!

[@blizarraga6552]

You are truly inspirational! Love how transparent and kind you also are! I am so very appreciative of your content, so more now that i'm starting my path in UX Design and you are giving us plenty of tips and insights!

[@AlienaCai]

You are so welcome!

[@335smileyface]

Thank you for your content, Aliena ! It actually shows the reality of a person working in Product Design, who also seek ways to improve their work/skills ! You are so inspirational, keep going ! 🙏 Hello from France 🌞

[@AlienaCai]

You're so welcome! I miss France 😍 Hello from Seattle 👋

[@Vinsomer]

Knocked out of the park again, Aliena! I love how you always personalise your experience with tips and tricks for how to optimise your knowledge and workflow. Whether it's duplicating and editing existing figma files for connected projects, understanding products and marketing, or cool community posts which are total time savers. I feel like you could do an entire video on top 10 community posts and plugins you couldn't live without, and I'd probably start using each and every one 😂 Thanks for letting us peek into your life, wishing you the best with creating your Figma course! ❤

[@AlienaCai]

Thanks so much for the support and yes, that’s a brilliant video suggestion!

[@mauriciozumerle7207]

[@juls2334]

Loved seeing your day in the life at Ebay, Aliena! When can we expect your Figma course to launch? 🐼

[@AlienaCai]

Hi, I'm dedicating my Q3 to develop the course and launching it in Q4 2023 👍

[@manmehakkaur889]

how long does it take to become a Ux designer and do you need a degree for it or you can just take a course and join a company if you dont mind me asking. im aspiring to become a UX designer and this would really help. loved the video btw you actually show the work and other aspects. thank you Aliena!

[@ijazahamed497]

Omg I usually thought Why don't you make vlogs? and now it's here, excepting more like this.

[@AlienaCai]

Thank you❤️❤️❤️ I actually started this channel as a Vlog channel when I was traveling the world and living in different countries. The Vlogs didn't take off for many reasons. Now that I found a great group of audience and improved my storytelling and editing, I'm also excited to bring more Vlog to the channel 😄

[@PremStudio-bg2bp]

"I can avoid some social awkwardness".......that's me 🤣🤣🤣

[@Unknown-uy2hh]

when can we expect your figma course to be out?? BTW love your work!

[@AlienaCai]

Hello, I'm dedicating my Q3 2023 on developing this course. Thank you so much for asking and this means so much to me! The course turned out to be a much bigger project than I expected because of legal and technical reason. But! I'm going to figure things out 🙌 Meanwhile please keep learning UX and Figma through resources you can find online. 😀 All the best!

[@radiz10]

It was a wonderful day beautiful Aliena, I look forward to that figma course.

[@AlienaCai]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@chunky_s2129]

Nice/ Enjoyed it!

Thank you!

[@3Dmarvelschool]

Hey its amazing to see you doing your dream job, how do you get selected in ebay, can you tell me the process ? what have to do if anyone want to get a job in UI UX in ebay or google?

[@winter.bear.221]

more day in the life video plis i miss my bro

[@AlienaCai]

YESSSS you shall be in my vlog bro. Let's meet up this year pls

[@ReLoAD33]

Thinking about how great of a movie Interstellar was is what im thinking about as of now. Highly recommend it if anyone hasn’t seen it

[@surbhivishwakarma8007]

Hi love your videos I want know what is Facebook ad mock-up kit

[@erinwahl1738]

I really enjoy your vlogs! How long did it take you to land your first job? I just graduated with a bachelor’s degree in web design and development.. it seems like I’m not getting any responses.

[@AlienaCai]

It took me half a year to get a client project, then after the client project it took me a few months to get the job at ebay 👍 Having a real world project really helped

[@jiii6099]

Can i ask which monitor is that? In your home office? And link for that brace 2:53?

[@doublemotivation901]

How many days it takes to complete ui project? how many days are good to complete it?

[@Its7n]

Morning meeting summary: - Yeah. - Yeah. - Mhm. - yeah.

[@ruhivaratkar5339]

May I ask what is the best major to become a UX/UI designer? I heard Computer Science is very good, but is it worth it to learn a bunch of programming for this job? Or am I better off learning graphic design etc?

[@AlienaCai]

HCI is very good - human computer interaction.

[@myartstudio1166]

Nice

[@AlienaCai]

Thanks

[@misba]

I have a question if you don’t mind answering. I am coming from the field of social work into a completely new field. Basically just want to know if the Google course is the one single douse that’ll cover everything I need to know. Including design/ product thinking. I have experience with Canva and procreate. That’s it

[@misba]

One single Course*

[@AlienaCai]

Hi, the Google course includes most aspects but I don’t believe there one course out there that teaches you everything. Since a lot also come from practice. I suggest you to learn UX design by finding multiple sources of truth and work on projects.

9:40 what is the name of this song in here ?

[@3ple_a688]

I just got time to watch this... I love your videos... Will you be my mentor🥺🥺🥺

[@AlienaCai]

Thank you ❤️ Can't promise mentoring at this moment given my horrible time management skill 🤣 But will keep putting videos out here to help virtually 👍

[@3ple_a688]

Will always wait and watch your videos 🤞🏾

Hello Aliena~ I am thinking if you could kindly share your thoughts and observation about how AI impact UX industry, and how can we utilise it in our job? Thank you xiexieni ~~

[@AlienaCai]

Noted!

[@STARK50]

3:30 that's really expensive. Here in India you can get unlimited 5G data for 28 days in only $2.90 dollars.

[@AlienaCai]

YESSS! I lived in India for a while and the data plan impressed me so much. It was super affordable with sooo many GB and I could use it anywhere!

[@Funmithedesigner]

Wait, Wait! I am curious, how long do you use 500mb for?🤔🤔

[@AlienaCai]

Hmmmm until it runs out? Probably one or two days? Idk 😂😂😂

[@Funmithedesigner]

@@AlienaCai okay, I was wondering 😂😂

Hey.... Currently which country you live?

[@omkardeshmukh9335]

Did UX designer also learn about html and css?

[@AlienaCai]

I learned about it but I rarely use it. I mainly learned it so that I have an idea about how to better collab with engineers.

[@marthachinaza1064]

Is html and css needed to create portfolio

[@AlienaCai]

Not necessary 👍

[@marthachinaza1064]

I love the way you mention hoping to not run into any people people in order to avoid social akwardness when you have over 72k viewers watching you on KZbin 😂.

[@lucidvisions9965]

hey aliena! thanks for the great video, any tips on networking? I've been trying to reach out to ppl on LinkedIn but it hasn't been that successful so far

[@AlienaCai]

Hi, I find in-person networking event more effective in the beginning of my ux career. Perhaps try some of those? Or participating in Hackathons?
