From Coursera course review with 1k sub to Adobe product designer to become a brand with 60k+ subs. Wish you all the success. Your videos are really inspiring and your way to present something just doesn't feel like watching 8-9 mins long. Really engaging.

Aliena! I'm a part of your Fast Track to UX course and I love how this video shows your process of creating the course, including the frustrations, realities, and wins along the way. It's inspiring to see the insides of what it takes to make a product like this and how you did it. The course is absolutely fantastic so far and has helped me a lot with my UI journey. I can't wait for the release of the rest of the videos and the continuation of how you built the product! Cheers :))

Thanks to your video of the google course review on Coursera. I’m went to register diploma in digital marketing and commencing next month. I also completed the foundations in digital marketing google and now I’m doing the remaining modules to get the full certification :) it’s nice to see how u progress in your career :) u show the good and bad side of the industry which is like “in real life” content which is good for people like me to wish to enter marketing

我认为你视频最牛的地方不仅仅是优秀的作品集和扣人心弦的创业过程，更重要的是“影响力”，给人自信，让人成功。我都觉得你的下一个产品可以是“From UX designer to CEO: a four-week course". Targeted Current UX designer who wants to make own business but lacks motivation, connection or knowledge of workflow, 哈哈。 Hire Me Boss！

This is inspirational to me! As a product designer that eventually want to just do my own thing this is a great way to see that it is doable. But also as a creator, the storytelling is so tight! I’m trying to analyze how you set everything up. The script must have been written first because the amount of different shots is crazy. So good.

@AlienaCai 10 ай бұрын

Great to hear! and yes, do your own thing is definitely doable and you can use many things you’ve learned as product designer to launch a business. The script is definitely pre-written and it’s one of the hardest videos to produce so far. So glad you liked it 😁

@AlienaCai 10 ай бұрын

I think it has gone better for the following observations: 1. Meeting apps like Zoom now have subtitle feature and you can see translation too. 2. Slack make messaging a prime way of communication since many people work from home and you don't have to physically talk to others to communicate a design change; 3. Figma has built in Chat feature that we use every other 10 minutes. 4. Products like ZOOM are trying to replace Meetings with screen recordings I think in your case, remote opportunities may be easier to navigate than in-person opportunities. But no one knows your context better than you, just take my words as an idea. Wish you all the best ✨🙌

Thank you so much 👍 It was more of a documentation since the sales period is before the release of this video. Was trying to showcase the business process I experienced since many designers may end up starting something on our own in some phase of our career, but it's not taught in schools or bootcamps.
