Hello everyone! I was browsing around for an online community that could provide me with some guidance as I move forward, my mind set on a UX career!
- So I’m from the tiny country of Denmark.
- I’m at the very infant stage of my UX career.
- My current challenge is trying to smack together a decent portfolio in hopes of getting hired in the near future.
- I am most interested in the user interaction design aspects of UX, but I hope to also become adapt at creating beautiful things.
- As for cat v. dog, it depends so much. If I have a lot of time to walk the dog, then dog for sure. If I have less time, cat, but I don’t want the cat to be an indoor-cat, so traffic is also something I take into consideration.
