Information that will change our lives!

Thanks for the info @jdebari :grinning: :grinning:

I’m currently located in Thousand Oaks, California.

I am looking to transfer into to the world of UI/UX design. I graduated with a bachelors in Media Arts and Animation.Currently, I am new to the world of UX. I work at a grocery store and am dying to get a job where I can utilize my artistic capabilities and communication skills.

My current challenges are just being new to learning about UI/UX and how to build my portfolio. I am currently taking courses on both Coursera and Udemy but wouldn’t know where to go from there. Looking to network and build lasting connections.

What I love about UX design from what I have learned is being able to understand user behavior and know what users are looking for in a product/service so that it can be enhanced.Human behavior and psychology has always interested me. I admire the improvement and innovation aspect of UX and how it challenges me to see the world in a different way. It inspires me to see the potential for what could be and not just for where it stands right now. It’s not only problem-focused but also solution-based.

I’m team cats despite being allergic to them. I was chased by a dog once and I hate barking.

    I still have a lot to learn! I’m extremely experienced when it comes to designing flows, wireframes, UI, running usability studies as well as qualitative interviews. So I am senior in that aspect…
