Why I chose UX/UI topics for My Website

Why UX? I have an interesting career in UX/UI. After completing a UX/UI bootcamp, creating a design portfolio, completing a capstone project, and landing a job, I have a few things to share about what I’ve learned along the way. I am still in the early stages, but there is so much more to learn about UX/UI than I could have imagined. I am always willing to learn and deepen my understanding of what I do. This blog will be my journey and a place to share tips to do so.

With UX/UI design, typically, the UX gets left out of the equation due to business deadlines and constraints, which looks like focusing on how the product looks, such as colors, typography, buttons, etc and not diverting focus on how the product works. UX design encompasses research, wireframes, usability testing, and more to make the product efficient and meet users’ needs. In conjunction with that, you also have to navigate potential blockers within an organization, collaborate with other designers, and defend your decision-making.

Being a UX/UI designer can be daunting. You not only need technical skills but also strong communication and presentation skills, and the confidence to push back when needed. There are just some things I wish I had known as a beginner UX designer. Consider this blog a resource to look back on as you grow in this field. If you are interested in UX but want to get more into the nitty-gritty of the design process and what it entails, this blog will help you navigate some common design problems.
