"Not that I had the skill to do it, but that I had the skill to learn to do it." A truer line has not been spoken!! This resonates so much Andres! I'm going to tell myself this whenever the Imposter kicks in. Love the video. Looking forward to more content and good luck on your journey!

@AndresTheDesigner 2 года назад

Wow, now that you put that in quotes, I want to frame it on a wall or something hahahaha Thank you Sneha, I appreciate the love.

Bro I completely agree, there were so many times where I felt completely unqualified and without the skill, but it was brought to me and told by my piers that skill can be taught, being teachable can’t be taught.

This video is titled UX but there is mostly talk about your eye for the visual, which is great but sounds more like UI design to me. As a UX designer on a two person team the amount of visual work I do is minimal, even though we’re responsible for it. UX is more about the research, the user flows, the empathizing and defining problem statements and managing stories. I spend more time in Jira than I do Figma. Good video all in all but folks getting started in UX should understand the difference between UI and UX because they’re not the same thing, even if sometimes you do both in a small org such as I do.

@Hamyhamster24 2 года назад

in small companies, ux/ui is the same person. i am one :)

@uxuidesigner1048 2 года назад

To be honest, in the end, UX or UI, our job is to solve what the Client wants, I have seen a product that doesn't do any UX except Competitive audit and still be successful out there but I do understand that when the market gets oversaturated with apps, the one that has good UX and UI behind it will be on top

@antonioruberto7077 2 года назад

Totally agree with these replies. I work on a two person design team at a small company so I understand having to be full stack. I work on improving the usability of enterprise software used for compliance screening and anti-money laundering. Not flashy. Not sexy. But, our users have incredibly specific and complex needs and that is where the hardcore UX knowledge comes into play. A flashy UI or pretty screens will not help these users. I see trends with folks talking about UX and sometimes focusing too much on UI and forgetting about what UX actually is, which is to understand users. The RU-vid channel VA Experience does an amazing job at outlining these topics.

@AndresTheDesigner 2 года назад

🙌🏼 thanks for sharing your perspective. I wouldn’t say I’m a UI designer, but I think you’re right in the sense that I didn’t highlight the UX design process very much in the video! Appreciate the feedback 🙏🏼

@radkot3841 2 года назад

It’s common to do ux/ui for the one person but I had the same feeling that this clip was mostly about UI. Maybe sometimes it’s hard to catch a difference between those two in 3 months.

@alinaoliynyk2469 2 года назад

Andres, thank you for your motivation and inspiration! I am exactly at the same point - depressed and looking for the purpose. And it led me to UX design, I am a super visual person and I feel so excited to learn and get into the UX design field. Your content is amazing, I enjoy watching your videos!

“Whether things are aligned correctly, icons, colors…” - sooo me! I hope I will have the opportunities you had while starting out. I’m switching careers and I need every push I can get (like this video) to know that the switch and struggles will be all worth it in the end. What an amazing journey you had! Praying I’ll make it too!

This was great, insightful and encouraging. I am transitioning to UX Design, just resigned from my job and been having a heightened sense of inadequacy or cluelessness. I'm at the point where I keep asking myself "This is what I want to do, why isn't it working out already" Thank you so much!

@Chloe A. What what was the job that you resigned from? IF you don't mind me asking. I'm a Principal UX Consultant, and wondered if there as a large transition from the previous field to that of UX.

@ViditKothari 2 года назад

The title of this vid must be "UI" and not particularly "UX". Or at the most "UI/UX". You focused more on the Visuals of the interface than the purpose, the reasoning. Which aligns more with UI than with UX.

Wow. Had a somewhat similar experience on the exit part of my previous career into the creative field. I was a systems operations engineer but was always drawn to the visual communications side of everything I worked on. Towards the end as I pursued more product design/UX/UI roles my 9 to 5 performance was taking a hit and I also received a PIP. There was some controversy there afterward but basically, I was given the heads up I was going to be let go. I'm in a design role now and still have aspirations to be in a UX role but am really really enjoying the design work I'm doing now while I'm slowly slowly preparing to apply to a UX positiions.

I think this type of content is a bit misleading because you can’t really become a ux designer in 3 month. That just diminishes the importance and difficulty of the work that we do. It takes at least a year to become somewhat proficient at it.

After watching your video, I got on my knees and prayed God to direct my steps for my professional life. (I love so many things design, code and writing) May God bless you brother.

As someone who is 3 months away from going to San Jose State with aspirations of being a UX designer and learning marketing skills this video hit home.

I cried watching this video. I know where you were coming from and I am currently facing the same issue. I studied finance and managed to find a job as an analyst. But I cannot stand looking at spreadsheets whole day. Ive since quit recently and I'm still lost. Thank you for this video. It gave me hope that maybe in the near few weeks I can find what I was meant to do, just like you.

Wow. I would have never imagine my story would have left such an impact on you. Don't ever look back Clifton. Life is too short. Best of luck on figuring out what you want to do.

I loved the part when you said you prayed to God to guide you "why you placed on earth" :D Im in the exact same boat, Oh my God so relatable video! Everything you say.. well paid, demanding job, not even 5 minutes to do your self-projects because staying late, so you try to learn everything in that remaining few hours.... I'm also close to the "demand letter" because I dont work good in the last few weeks, and I feel deep down I will either get fired or I give my resignation letter first.. I'm feeling that this wont work, so I have to learn something new... exactly as my situation right now! I feel I dont want to continue, but I have no clue at all what to do next, too much expectation everywhere... Thanks for your story!

Dude, this video was absolutely fire. I love the edits, love the storytelling, and I was engaged the whole way through that I didn't even realize I burned through 12 minutes while watching this. Super inspiring man, you earned a well-deserved subscription and I can't wait to see what else you'll be cooking on this channel. Keep killing it man, this is gold.

Andres I quit my job as a Project Manager recently for 3 reasons, one of those was to grow in a different path. I chose UX/UI as the path and, man, the more I heard |about your experience, the more I related myself to your story. I recently started to feel hopeless about working in something I feel passionate about, but I decided to try again, learn about others, ask others, collaborate with others. That was just earlier today. Just wanted to share with you that, once I'm an UX/UI designer, this video will have had something to do with it, at least a little. My best wishes for you and all your future projects.
