Information that will change our lives!

Welcome Jessica – exciting time of transition for you!

I hear you. This is one of the things that I value the most about my job – I work remotely from home which affords me the ability to be hold a full time job as well as a full time parent without having to compromise on either.

Welcome @deb0 and @philippe_harbec

Sounds good to us, Deb.[quote=“deb0, post:124, topic:2229”]
Part of my challenge is feeling old.

That doesn’t need to be a challenge – it means you bring more experience to the table.

Snoop Dogg always counts.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Hi @sara_allen730! Welcome to the group.

As @HAWK had mentioned, I am an experienced UX Researcher, so I am happy to provide some advice. My background is in psychology, which has been beneficial to know how to design research studies without bias and perform light statistical analysis when appropriate.

There are great online resources too. To get started, especially in research, I highly recommend David Travis’ course on Udemy. He has it on sale right now for $50, but the value of his course is incredible. Here’s the link: http://uxtraining.net/

David is a PhD. Cognitive Psychologist in London who really enjoys giving back to the community. He always answers questions, so he’s a great resource. I still ask the broader community questions when I am facing a challenging research problem.

Again, welcome! :slight_smile:

I’m not a Nigerian Prince :smiley: but I do hope to become a kick-ass UX Designer.
My current challenge is knowing how best to build a credible portfolio.
I’m really passionate about wireframing, consumer journey design and Hi-fi prototyping
Dogs :smiley: although I don’t own one but I would go for a dog if I ever decided to own a pet.

Working at a company that doesn’t have a UX/UI team. Trying to expand out to mobile design and more UX/UI or product design roles.

I’m more of a cat person myself, but definitely like me some dogs too.
