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 :)

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.

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!

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.

“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?
