My job as a UX designer can be very versatile and ambiguous so I tried to break down my responsibilities and day-to-day tasks in a more concrete way. Below are links to design bootcamps I'd recommend and links to tech gears I use on the job.

    The kind of work I guess I would love to have: creativity, food, cool people, sharing ideas, and having loads of fun

    50% Designing Me loving UI UX design: Hey that's not bad 50% Presenting Me loving UI UX design who also sucks at presenting information: :^)
  • @mj773
    I have started as UX designer after 7 years of career gap and I'm loving it. Thank you this inspires me and reminds me I am not wrong making a career change being a commerce graduate to designer 😍😍😍
  • @christinat21
    this all seemed extremely fun and totally my kind of thing until you mentioned presenting 😳
  • @ryanm4769
    I used to be super depressed after College (graduated this May) and not knowing what to do with my CS degree. It was hard getting a job too because I just didn't care for software development.... but then I got a job in UI/UX Design with a startup and I LOVE it!!! I found that I'm definitely more creative and "artsy" than just full on math and logic based. I still have a long way to go in UX design, but seeing videos like these motivates me!!! I'm already starting to create my own portfolio site :)
  • @cctyrant3600
    I don't know why but I just love the office atmosphere. Working on something that I already love (graphic design) then sharing it with co-workers and evaluating it just seems so cool to me. Definitely my dream job.
  • @ryanm4769
    This is one of the videos that made me realize my love for UI/UX! I graduated with a comp sci degree last year and really didn't like being a developer - but now I work for a startup as a Producg Designer and I'm very happy and omg the people are so nice in the UIUX community.
  • Thank you so much for this! Been getting UX certified and lately I’ve been feeling very intimidated/confused. Thank you for helping my confidence ❤️🙏
  • @lauv1564
    i am currently a college student studying art and design and this video motivates me so much to work on my skill and maximize my potential, and hopefully one day i'd be able to do what i love in a place as cool as yours!!
  • This is so fascinating for me. I was offered a role in UX design years ago and chose to pursue something else, so this is like looking at what I could have done haha! Working in tech seems really fun, and I like that you arrive early - such a great feeling!
  • @bzed744
    omg this just gave me so much nostalgia for the office and free lunches and snacks
  • “Presentation tips” video please! :) loved this video, super nice seeing a day in a life of a product designers.
  • @becomingbless
    03:05 - Your team 😭 I’m a software engineering student and seeing how you are working with a team full of men just gives me a glimpse of a future I have to prepare for here 😂
  • @helguuhucu
    it looooks sooo nice and an amazing community to be in, however, i got anxiety from this because of all those meetings, presentations and communications. (i am studying in tech-field and i should soon work somewhere)
  • I’m just in design college, but you have inspired me to get a level up at my job in my internship
  • Would love to see more videos like this of the office life and just daily life but mixed with some chatting about your projects at work and how you tackle each of them :)
  • @erikahoff2043
    this is so cool to see because my major is actually UX Design! I love seeing my future field represented on youtube in such a cool and realistic way!
  • @kamoflaje87
    I spent 12 years in healthcare before deciding that it's not for me. I like to think I'm a creative person and this sounds like it's what I want to do. Thank you for this video.
