[@sofias3192]

I'm a CS student but since I learned how to graphic design and edit videos in 4th grade, I knew that designing/ creativity was more of my thing but have also had huge interest in technology. I know creativity is different for UI /UX design but have been gaining lots of interest for a while now.. Hopefully I can follow your path because I want to work in the tech field but don't want to do too much coding on the job/ would rather do it as side projects

[@ekeneedebeatu2595]

Yes please, i would really appreciate a video on how to organize our figma file ♥

[@hawalk5707]

Totally agree with your comments. Going to University ( I completed in HK, UK, and Australia ) doesn't mean you can learn any extra things, even those classmates doing different jobs after they graduate. Also, the culture of the company does affect every person in their career path. Thanks for sharing.
