i was at the point of throwing away my notebooks after getting discouraged for not having a college degree and settling. imposter syndrome has struck me hard and this roadmap solidified my belief in myself. I too have only been learning for intensely for a few months and thought it wasn’t enough time to have credibility. Today I officially finished designing and developing my website. I’m so thankful for people like you, Rachel for making this type of knowledge accessible for people in my situation. To anyone on the fence as I have been for the past few months, please please please do not give up. Even small steps every day will add up, keep track of your learning in case you start to doubt yourself so you have something to look back on to realize how far you’ve come. I believe in you and i believe in me and i believe in us!!!

This is the best video ever. I've been in this tough place for the last few years of wanting to pursue this career, but not feeling like I have the skills or ability to handle it. I already have tons of visual design skills, some program knowledge, and some experience building mock websites for fun, but still never believed in myself. While I have a lot of work to do on everything else, this made me want to commit to making this my career. I'm still stuck on where to go from here, but this helped a lot.

Your videos are so helpful and encouraging, thank you! I’m looking to make the switch to UI/UX after being in digital marketing + graphic design roles and it’s always intrigued me! I moved abroad and it’s been quite difficult to get into my fields without being fluent in the native language (German 😮💨). We’re looking into moving to a different country next year but I’m finding there is a lot of listings/need for UI/UX with no extra language requirements other than English. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber 😊

It is SO kind of you to create these videos on top of giving us a roadmap! I've been pretty lost recently as my course literally called Interaction Design didn't actually do UX design at all (I thought there might be some y'know) and I fell out of love with design for a while. The course was good and I learned a lot, but I'm excited to learn more about UI and UX design and hopefully build a career from it. Thank you so much for these incredibly helpful videos, it is so kind and generous of you

Please people running away from boot camps promising jobs in 3months or 6 months after the course, they've no link with the companies, you will be doing courses that doesn't give you real world problem to solve after paying hug amount of money, especially if you are new to tech industry😢it won't help you.
