How I Became A UX Designer In 4 Months (why I succeeded)

Ur place looks so comfy😭❤️

I didn’t expect any contents in this video that would make me cry but I started crying so hard when Charli said why are you so young and so full of potential…. This hit so hard. Thank you for sharing your experience charli:)

Frankensteined together 😂 I'm currently researching this role. I love design but I'm an introvert, is it constant social contact or do you get enough time to work quietly alone each day? Also, how do you cope with sitting all day? That's another thing I'm not sure about. Also thanks for acknowledging your luck and privileges, alongside your hard work. I'm 39 and single and one reason I'm interested in this career is I'm worried about supporting myself financially, as I don't have the luxury of a husband with a good job like most of my friends. I am deciding between going self employed in illustration and textile design which I love, but I'm scared I won't earn enough. I've been broke for years studying design courses (as I used to be a teacher before I had burn out). I'm really ready to start earning again and this time I want a good income.

i was looking for ux ui roles , most of them ask for adobe creative suite knowledge , i am good with ui design tools but not with adobe suite.. when and what do you amazing ui designers use suite for ? whats are your main tasks ui designers do on suite ...thanks a lot ..

“If you already know you want to be a UX designer and you want to get a computer science degree because it’s safer, why? Why are you so young and full of potential and already choosing your backup plan?” Oh god she’s calling me out lol I’m in school now for my CS degree. I guess I just thought that if I had that, regardless of where I want to go in my career, it would help me. So what should I do instead to get into tech and UX design? Do you recommend online certs?

The last part is definitely very true you need the support of your loved ones to positively climb up your career ladder 😪

wow! this video really motivates me to quit my job! i was thinking about shifting to ux for half of this year and now im strongly sure about what i want
thank you charli 🫶

This is a really beautiful video. Thank you so much for this

Hi Charli curious if there’s any role out there that would actually support you to do both and if that’s possible do you see that as something stressful or financially rewarding or both? Curious to hear your thoughts

Could you clarify what you mean by creating a case study?

Also, what would you say is a average market salary for a entry level UX Designer who just got a Google certification with little experience and a small portfolio?

thank youuu and i agree w you

Do companies provide the technology needed to work? Such as laptop\computer/ipad

Do you think someone who doesn’t have any experience in this field will be able to succeed as a UX designer?
P.S. thank you for your videos, they’re very helpful!

Omg wow your story really hits home with me! In college when I was studying cs, I was a bit wishy-washy and considered pursuing design/art at first but I got inspired by other awesome female coders I knew and decided I wanted to challenge myself and pursue cs seriously, and even though cs was not my strong suit, I thankfully still got a swe job in a really awesome company, great culture and everything like how you described your past company. But yeah definitely, if you’re meant to do something, it should feel right for you, but for me swe has been a lot of anxiety and questioning. Hearing your story inspires me to take that leap to make a change :)

i used to dream that i will found an anime studio. I ended up deciding to become an ui/ux designer. I love to draw. I was gonna enroll into coding class. But teacher said you're good at drawing, you know about colors and stuffs, and he offered me to enroll ux/ui class lol. What a life, pretty unpredictable hahaha

Gir,thank you so much for sharing this.I feel like i am on the right truck.Thank you so so much.

thanks for this video! also loving all the tae pics in your background lmao

Thanks for your amazing story

Thank you! 😊 If I didn’t have teaching experience and have <1 year software developer experience, what experiences or skills can help UX job interviewing? 🙏

Can you please make a video on how you edit your videos, like your intro is so cute, I love it

I didn’t study UX design. Im a self taught graphic/motion design and somehow ended up doing UX in my current company lol

Your story is so inspiring! thanks for sharing this I'm recently taking up UX design certification just to learn more about UX design and I love every bit of it

Thanks for making this video! I'm very inspired. I have computer science degrees too and only found out about UX after I graduated from my bachelor degree. BTW, I have the same dogo fluffy toy as you do, exactly the same one! 😂

Same as me……I‘m introverted as well……networking is also so diffcult for me

I'm a software developer looking to transition to UX. I didn't know UX designers existed until after I got a full-time job. It feels great to find someone I can relate to!!!! Thank you for opening up about your journey :)

Hello Charli, I truly enjoyed you video. It was the peep talk you gave that I needed. I gave myself similar peep talk to myself but after hearing it from you I made it more assuring that my decision and my intuition is valid. When it came to deciding what i want for my future and what I can do right now definitely has to do with a shift in you mindset. I have a background in art, horticulture, and basic C.S.. My interest in UX/UI all began for over 4 years ago because I love color theory and typography, problem solving, all i every wanted in a career. Yet I chickened out because I did not believe in myself and did not feel like i had the support of my family, Any time i get asked about my classes, i get so stressed out and want to take a break from my classes. I even signed up for a free 6 months course to become a full stack developer, I did not want to let the opportunity go to waste but each class I showed up to and each day that passed by i still couldn't get the logic of javascript to click. I took a long break and then I stopped showing to class. I was still thinking of pursuing UX. Two days ago I started searching for course in becoming a UX designer and got excited to learn again. After listening to your story has inspired my to buckle down and get to work. I want to create my case study by the end of the month. I currently work full-time, after work I just want to take a long nap because my job is emotionally draining *introvert struggles*, yet I still want to pursue UX design for a better sustainable future. This year has been all about self love and today I chose to pursue my dreams, starting with UX. Thank you for sharing this video =]

Congratulations for your 3k

Love this video and your story!💕 I am currently a student doing my undergrad with an I-Design major (graphic design major but I get to choose my focus area) my focus area is technically and Interactivity and I have been in classes for computer science and data science. My goal is to become a ux designer and my major is helping me do that by learning about graphic design, ux design, and technological parts of design like computer science and data science! It is so great to hear about how your computer science skills are helping you with your ux design career!

i feel good coming from a computer engineering background going into UX design! ✨

please make a podcast i could listen to you for hours and will never get bored. anyways, thankyou for inspiring me, im in the beginning of my ui/ux career and your videos helped me improve (like a lot). stay awesome Charli!

Love this! thanks for sharing your experience. And also leveling up the accessibility game with the captions <3

This just put gas in tank, thanks for sharing your journey, Golden Nuggets of advice!

i'm in university right now and have been wanting to do UX for so long but i'm self taught and recently after attending some competitive events and feeling like i'm not as good as other designers my age, i've been questioning if i'll even be successful in this field. however, your videos have taught me a lot really help me encourage myself to keep working to improve and make me excited for a UX job in the future! thank you for making these videos Charli :))

if you're comfortable with it, would you be able to talk about things like imposter syndrome and self-confidence? I personally struggle a lot with imposter syndrome and just question whether I'll be a good UX Designer. I'm currently self-teaching with online resources but my mind is struggling with unlocking any potential I have.
