How I became a Content Designer/UX Writer

I just realized that I said “I’ve been a content designer for about 3 years.” Umm hello?? I’ve actually been one for almost 4 years?!

I’m not joking when I say I struggle with math 👋🏼😭

So please want course do you recommend us to take.

Loved hearing about your story and your style of editing :DD This has got me so interested in the field now :)

love this

Amazing ideas come from the roots... Then grow...

I'm a trucker, very smart but never with schooling because time passed before i saw the new world... I have amazing ideas in gaming... especially with regards to content creator's isolation and filtration per their discipline to teaching their community...

I.e.

Content creators are handicapped in the video game headspace... because if their ego's...


Give me 5 minutes of your time... I promise you... PROMISE...

We will talk to Musk eventually... my name is John

Hiya, I’m so glad to have come across your video, are you still working for MS as a CD?

Hey Yvonne, I have a very important question to ask - at times I see jobs opening in the market for applicants as UX and UI designers and specifically not as a UX writer or content designer. So those currently pursuing their career in writing like I am a creative copywriter, do they need to prepare themselves as per UI designers OR UX writer standards. Plz show some light and guidance

Please I'm interested in the UX writing Challenge

please how do I become UX Writer

Wow God bless you !!!!!🥺🙏🏾❤️ May God continue to bless you in all that you do and put your mind too!

Your story is quite inspiring to me

You are so awesome. You can find a career you love right after graduation. I would like to ask, are there any books I can read as a ux writer? I also like this profession, but I found that there seems to be no Chinese books or information.

I'm a designer who makes crazy things

Hey girl, thank you for this video. As a Brazilian woman trying to learn English as my third language and at the same time not giving up my career in writing/UX writing, your video was such a relief and guide. I feel like I'm listening to advice from a friend, reminding me to keep calm and go ahead with my goals. Thank you again for that. ❤

You accent is very good, I am not American, you came at when you were 16?

I love this story! And you seem like a nice person with great sense o humor :). It's actually impressive that you work with language that's not your native language. I have a 1 year experience as UX designer in creative agency, but I believe UX writing is my niche and I've always had a passion for words so I want UX writing to be my part time job, but I want to write in my language, English grammar was always hard to learn for me no mater how hard I was trying. But I am Polish and Polish language is highly inflected language, so many things that are quite simple in English in Polish are like 'ok, now we need to spend two weeks thinking about verb forms'.

i should have stuck to STEM because this following my dream crap has led me to being unemployed for years with worthless degrees :((((

I'm taking notes from your videos for a potential Content Design interview at Microsoft. Getting all the design lingo down... FaceTune... Came in clutch... janky

I think i'm ready

Currently waiting to hear back from a company to see if I have an interview for content design. Your vid is making me so excited!

I've loved your story! Congratulations!!

Great storytelling!!!! Wow.

Thank you love!! I majored in Creative Writing and Psychology currently working in higher ed as an advisor. I didn't even know this was a job until a couple days ago. Now I'm trying to find everything I can about it because I feel like I could actually do this and be good at it! I'm 24 and want to try something new. Thanks so much for this video I loved it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This was one of the realest and most helpful videos I've seen about a journey surrounding UX Writing. I appreciate you being honest about your experience because it is so inspiring. Also, your personality is so kind, fun, and hilarious. I enjoyed quite a a few laughs while watching this. After watching this video, I feel encouraged to go continue learning, leaning into the fear I have and just keep going :)

What do you recommend to get better at English grammar and writing for those who are not native?

As a Content Designer I like seeing how others got into the field. Good video.

Thank you for sharing this!!!! You were able to overcome a lot of bumps in the road. This gives me hope because I am a 61 year old African American woman who is just now considering becoming a UX writer. I'm certain I'll have bumps in the road too, but I am very hopeful because of your video!!!😊

Yvonne I watched your videos while I was interviewing for my first Content Design job, and now I'm two weeks in and loving it already! So a big thank you for making me feel like it was possible and passing on your experience.

Hi Yvonne, this is so inspiring. I'm really looking forward to watch the next upload 😊

Thank you so much for sharing your journey

Can you guide me about content designing that how to learn it completely?

I found your channel thru TikTok. I’m having career crisis because of my major. I want to know more about this realm thanks to you. Please upload more videos about the skills needed for this position ❤

Woah! I took up the challenge too and am the part of the FB group too. Along with UX Wrinting HUB.

So, I recently joined as an intern, but I'm the solo UX writer atm and idk what to do, I would like to get some pointers on how to manage things and be better at UX writing. Would love some guidance.

I loved hearing your story, you have such a great personality and I can tell that you're probably really funny. : )

Great vid!
I'm trying to transition from Digital Marketer to Content Design.

Would love to see you do a video on building a Content Design portfolio

Hi. Thanks for sharing so much information. Can you do a video talking about the skills and software proficiency a content designer needs to have

i enjoyed to listen your story, i proud of you, about 3 years i really want to become a ux writer, so i need some advice to help me in my journey to learn a ux write

Respect!

Hi Yvonne, this is really good. I have been a content designer for 3 years and I didn't even know what to call it at the time 😂. I'll absolutely love to see a portfolio for content design I can use. I have searched everywhere for a template but I couldn't find one.

Hi. Is Ux writer the same word as contents designer? Although Ux writers are not yet widely known in the world, I wonder if you think that over time, global demand will increase as much as Ux designers or programming jobs. I am currently majoring in statistics, but I have become interested in copywriting and now I am learning a lot about Ux writers. It is very attractive to be involved in the user experience through writing !😮

Emerson alum.👍👍👍

A great share. I'm a content marketer on a career break who's looking to get into UX writing/content designing.

I love your story. So inspiring! Looking forward on your new content about UX writing career.

So glad I found your channel! I'm currently a college student with ADHD, and I've been interested in UX Writing for a while now. I'm thinking about majoring in creative writing because I love writing so much. I'm terrible at math and science-related subjects, but I do well in my English classes. Do you think UX Writing will be more in-demand and have more job openings in the future? I checked on Indeed and it was only pulling up around 150 UX Writing positions.

You have a new subscriber!

Thank you sooo much for posting this video! As a front-end web dev ready to explore more of my passion for writing and learn how to use it to continue contributing in the tech industry this was an amazing find! I noticed there is not a ton of content on UX Writing and Content Design as it relates to getting into the field so I appreciate your channel so much!! Just subscribed!

thanks for sharing your story with such authenticity and generosity!

Key point I took away from this video: networking.

It sounds like reaching out to the alum and getting that referral made all the difference. Do you have any more tips about networking?

Been waiting for this content! Thanks for sharing, Yvonne!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey! I’m having a tough career moment and always leaned towards design during my studies. Didn’t know UX writers was an actual role!!
