Hello friends! In this video I'm showing you a realistic day in the life as a UX/UI designer. I walk you through what it's actually like to be a UX designer at small-medium sized company. I'm showing the meetings I'm in with product managers and developers, the tools like Figma & FigJam that I use to create workflows in order to complete my UX design tasks.

Yes!!! So happy to see a black woman UX designer! I'm about to graduate from general assembly from my 6 month UX course and I'm excited! You have a new subscriber, I'm loving to see another black woman in the field.

@Astral_Dusk 3 месяца назад

I've been doing Front-End development for the past six years, and in many roles, there was an attempt to incorporate UX design into developers' responsibilities. However, it always felt rushed until they hired a dedicated UX Designer, who brought a much deeper sense of user interface and experience design and conventions.

@Alex-gu2ws Год назад

Great to watch this. I just had my first UX designer role and I felt lost, but this actually gives me a better idea of what one works on on a more concrete, granular level. And classic dog shenanigan at the end, lol.

@UnbekannterSoldat74 Год назад

That's a really good video. Maybe you can turn this into a series, by for example showing different types of typical UX tasks, like fixing issues together with devs or doing user research / testing or how you map out new features. I'm sure that many people who don't work UX but are interested in it might find this helpful, since a lot of material related to the topic is rather static. You on the other hand want to emphasise everyday workflows.

@hellostephaniem Год назад

Thank you for watching and that is a great idea!

Hi Stephanie. For the last 6 months (or more), I've been wanting to do something different, interesting, challenging and somewhat familiar to what I was unknowingly and lightly introduced to while working at my previous employer working in Salesforce (Lightning). Since April this year, I've been seriously considering getting into UX Design. This morning, I figured why not do more research and also lookup a few things in RU-vid from women that look like me to get a somewhat closer look and an idea of what this career field entails. SO glad I typed in "UX Designer training videos" in the RU-vid search box and saw YOUR video. This was really helpful and informative. THANK YOU so much for this. I hope see more of your videos. I have subscribed and will definitely continue to follow!

Thanks for sharing. It only seemed like a couple of hours work. How many hours do you work each day? Do you have to constantly have meetings and do presentations or do you get a good amount of time to work quietly without input from others?

@hellostephaniem Год назад

I would say half of my day is full of meetings and the over half is actually executing the work. So it’s a good balance of meeting & presentations vs focus design time.

Hi, How would you define a problem statement when a company says, they just want a redesign to freshen things up. They don’t know if there is a problem or not but that’s the brief.

@hellostephaniem Год назад

I would ask a few more questions to find the root of the redesign. Is it hard to navigate? Is the UI not conveying trust to the customer? Are there accessibility issues? Is the website holding us back against our competitors? Even if they want a fresh look, there is a reason behind it. Hope this helps!

How about we applaud her for being a hard worker and being able to get into a great career at a young age, instead of praising her for being black and being in tech. Are y’all implying black people are stupid and usually can’t get tech jobs? I’ve been in tech for 15 years a and can guarantee you I’ve never met a single racist hiring manager, just a lack of black applicants since #1 they are a minority and #2 many affluent blacks tend to go into finance, law, and med fields based on what I’ve seen in my own social circle.
