I’m a UX grad student with an art and fashion background. I totally was intimidated at first, but very excited when I learned more about it. In my views though, design is design. We are all solving various problems with various materials and tools whether fashion, visual, architects, industrial designers, etc! User experience is just one way way to ask questions and problems and form solutions with a strong user focus. With that in mind, I think leveraging your various experiences could be your strength!

[@InteractiveDNA]

On my experience on the field and may other fields... You don't need to have a degree on any visual, programming, designing, etc to be a professional on the field with high paying salaries. I only finish high school and I am a Producer, Art Director, UI, UX designer, Artificial Intelligence Designer, Broadcast Motion Graphics Designer and Product Designer. My salary always being higher then graduated and folks with PHD on the field. When I try to hire people on my field I always ask for a DEMO REEL and if the person know how to draw. If they don't have both, I would never hire that person. Now, there are some areas like video editor but even that most companies now requires you to know AE, AI and Photoshop with design skills in place... so again, it goes how much you know how to design and create motion graphics today. If you don't have no of what I said, find a field that you are good at it. Time is priceless!

[@daegumaa]

Thank you for that, I too have a high school diploma with some college. I was debating doing what I truly love versus going back to college and wasting money that I don’t have.

@InteractiveDNA How did you learn so many things on your own ?? That's really impressive

[@mrzSimmons27]

Daeguma I totally agree. I feel that the pandemic has made people realize that we have to spend our time wisely even when choosing something as simple as a career. I’m pursuing an IT degree at the moment, but I have realized overtime my passion for HCI is real! So what’s the point of wasting money at a university? HCI or UX design is most definitely the future, and as she said in the video they’re already making 90k so it’s a no brainer for me🤷🏾‍♀️

I have a super business idea, but don't have money to fund the ui, UX designer/ website/ app developer. Now I am here... I'm going to painfully take out time to learn all these to grow my idea...

This was incredibly helpful! I’ve been thinking about making the transition from apparel design and this video has given me new hope that it’s the right move for me 🖤

[@michellerichards3136]

Hi... me too! 10 years in apparel but ready for a change. Looking for an accountability partner? 👀 👀 🙋🏾‍♀️

This was GREAT especially an update in 2020 on what to do to get into this industry. Currently starting out with a psychology background taking courses on coursera. I mainly wanted to dive into this field because of the psychology aspect of it and I looked up KZbin videos and became interested. I have NO experience whatsoever but because of your words, I will keep learning and exploring. I wanted to see if there was a way to combine psychology and tech.. this might be it. Great work.
