FINALLY!!! A perfect video on what it's like to be a UX designer! Tell me why I was looking at several other videos with the same title and saw that most of the content consisted of morning routines, workouts, what they eat, etc... 💀 smh..

Great insight. I'm glad that you mentioned that you're not the "artsy" type. I don't see myself as an "artsy" type and I was letting that cloud my judgement. I like the balance of meetings with team members and clients as well as time for independent technical work. It seems like an interesting day. I'm currently considering pursuing a career in UX and this video was incredibly helpful in providing a picture of what that could look like. Thanks for the insight.

This is possibly one of the BEST videos I've ever seen! So simple and to the point, perfect!!!

Love it! Very informative, straightforward and well explained! This is what i need! Thanks you! ❤️

I really appreciate this video. It was super helpful in sharing what a typical day might look like, I learned a lot!

Great video! I know nothing about UX/UI design and wanted a bit of insight to it to see if it's something I want to pursue further, but other videos were either too detailed or too general (like what they eat and when they wake up..) this one is perfect! Thank you so much!

Great video. Very informative and well explained. Thank you!

I've always been a designer at heart, and I've been seriously considering switching away from my current field, which is urban planning (slightly to moderately boring). This video makes the job of UX/UI Designer seem doable and rewarding. Thanks!

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing these insights!

Thank you for your video. It is super informative. already signed up for a phone call with a counselor and for he mini course to see if UX is a good fit for me. If it is, then I'll def sign up for the full course via your links. Thanks again for this valuable information. Great job Ryan!! I've now officially subscribed :)

Very informative video. Thank you, Ryan.

Nice little video. Thanks and well done

I extremely like the video, man. Very helpful and informative. Thank you very much. It is presented so well too. Great, positive work.

Great video!

That was instructive, thanks!

Go Ryan!!!

Great information!

Many thanks for share your experiences with us

Explained so well. Thanks a lot!

Bravo, explained very well.

Fantastic. I'm a graphic designer and considering looking into UX/UI and this was very helpful in understanding what the work day would look like compared to my day right now. Thanks for sharing

Great Video! And Super Informative ! What was your background before you took the Career Foundry Course ?? How difficult was it for you to find a job after taking the course?

so useful...thanks

This is exactly what I want to do!

Woot! I am on the way there. It's better to take courses in person rather than online. There are more resources as well as networking benefits when you actually go to school for it.

This is very useful! Thanks a lot!

Thanks For Sharing. Very Useful🔥🔥🔥

one dumbest question . can we export this ui file i have designed to android studio just like that . i mean ui from xd to a working android app. is it too much i am asking for? any plugin .?

Pretty cool video! It gives a very clear idea about day-by-day life... Thanks!

Awesome!!!! I’m trying to decide between digital marketing or UX cert.. I’m wanting to work in the healthcare side of UX... since I have a broad background in medical!! Thanks for An awesome video!! 🌸🤙😎🦋🌺✌️🌻

I've been trying to learn coding languages slowly for a year or so now, but nothing has really stuck with me that makes me want to pursue it and be happy with that decision (except HTML and CSS, I may dive back into that). However this morning, I saw something about UX design that interested me and after looking into it more, I think this is exactly what I want to do! Thanks for the video, I'm excited to start learning!

This vid is very helpful I’m thinking of pursuing a career in ux/ui design : can anyone give me suggestions of what I could major in uni to achieve this ??

I’m having trouble choosing between ux design and IT support but I feel I would Fit this job a little better the IT support

Tqsm for the informative content! 😍😍 I'm a diploma computer science (multimedia) student and just started my internship as UI/UX Designer few days ago! Haven't got any real task from my sv yet so I keep asking myself if I did the right choice... thanks to this vid I finally understand there's different phases and I probably join during the last phase and that's why I haven't got any task yet hahaha 😂😂😂 Btw a lil bit abt my background and why I choose to take a UI/UX intern position... Since I was a kid, I've been interested in illustrating/animating and dreaming to become an animator.. However, during my university hunting- my parents didn't allow me to pursue animation cuz it's too "unstable" and "harder to find a job".. I ended up taking diploma in CS cuz I pretty enjoyed the subject during my high school.. Fast forward and I could say I had so much fun studying CS(Multimedia)!! It's like I finally can combine both of my passion (illustrating/animating + coding) in one place! However, just for a note.. I'm not really artsy or a coding master... so UI/UX seems like somewhere I belong to..

thanks for the video

I definetly need to change my mind set

Hey! Really great video. Even I wanted to learn more about UI/UX design. Can you suggest me good Master's program for the same?

so i watched this video about a year ago for the first time and I never really forgot about it. despite the pandemic, I went back to university, and started a bachelor in digital projects (including UX design.) thank you for the informative video !

I love this video! Amazing and interesting a day in the life of a UX Designer 💗 I really love the collaboration part between UX Designer and Software Developer & 🎨

I'm a computer science major with a love for graphic design. I really want to get into UI/UX. If you have any advice or tips, please let me know by responding to this comment. :)

Can I ask you a question?.... Do you think it's smart to take the Google ux design course and do you think I will be able to land a job?

love this

As a UX, do you spend a lot of time on electronical devices or is it still a healthy amount? Thank you :)

Hi Ryan, as a newbie in design with no work experience, please where can I learn to design experience maps or is it something I can learn only from getting a job? most of the practical information I’ve come across on the internet pertain to visual and interaction design.

Hey, I am thinking of choosing this as a career path...can you guide me what it took to secure a place in such agency....asking about the scenario of United States

Ok... I'm from a non-tech background more precisely customer service. And I want to switch my career so I'm thinking of moving into UX designing. but I have heard it requires a little bit of programming knowledge so I'm kinda scared, would I be able to do it?

do ux designers do a lot of presentations and meetings? I am an introvert and i dont know if this is the right career for me.

Do “UI” designers have to collaborate a lot with clients and colleagues. I really prefer to work alone. It seems like “UX” involves a lot of collaboration. Is that the same for “UI”?

I'm about to start a graduate program in HCI. Hope I can become a future UX designer/researcher!

Had to go back just to stare at the wireframes. 😍

I notice employer roles tend to combine UX/UI and separate design/research, while bootcamps and other schools separate UX/UI and combine design/research.

Why UI/UX only have 4.0 rating for job satisfaction in Glassdoor website ?

Thank you for the video. I’ve been interested in becoming a up designer but I do worry how much English fluency requires. Would you give me some opinion how it can be difficult for someone who’s living in USA with intermediate English level. Thank you!

You have an awesome professional career opportunity going on there for yourself. I live in Salt Lake City, USA and been trying to get my state or it's department of workforce services to sponsor me for a certification for several years, but no money or route to pay for something like a data science certification course with employment programs not assisting me in making something happen in my favor. I just discovered UX design by random chance surfing the net and find it a fascinating new tech topic of designing user interfaces of devices and systems where Windows and point and click are going to be history probably within 5 years. I just searched Craigslist jobs in my area to find one listing for UX designer. It is freelance and requires 3-5 years+ of experience designing UI / UX / interactive for consumer web or mobile applications (preferably eCommerce or gaming). I'm in my 40's now and have both associates and bachelors degrees, but find myself so grossly underemployed and unemployable realizing the past several years I need to study a certification and network into a job from that experience. However after all my many explorations and attempts out there over the years, I can't ever break into a specialized industry to apply myself, successfully sell my work, and thrive. How do you really break into something tech and knowledge oriented offering a decent career opportunity to go on? My area does have a developing tech economy and like Berlin, housing prices are surging and the area is truly urbanizing, but none of the companies nor the government want to give me a chance for they only ignore me while some are doing really awesome all around me locally in everyday visual sight. Is it quite a different kind of job market over in Europe and Germany for those who have sponsorship or are EU citizen? How do you go some place to get in the door and succeed in my own country, the USA? I just want to apply myself in a knowledge based industry like UX design or data science and thrive in order enjoy life in the moment having a decent little place to live, bills paid, savings in the bank, and a nice little car to drive.

Hi! What’s your degree/ degrees in??

Do you think the new Google UX Design certificate (with a strong portfolio of course) would be sufficient to get an entry-level job in Berlin?

Thanks for the video. What if you are working in a scrum and you have 2 times, but you get sick? What will happen then? Does your colleagues have to cover you ? For me it seems like its a "rush" and you have to be more like a "machine" ...am I wrong ?

finally a real -in a life of UX, not in a life of me, me...

Does it require coding ? Cus google says it doesnt ... but how else would u develop an app

The background music choice made it a bit hard to follow Ryans line of argumentation.

Is this the same thing as Web Design? It seems like UX designers mainly design websites. Or is it more similar to Graphic Design?

Do you get fun time , holidays or full time living a busy and systematic dame life?

I've heard that sometimes UX designers are rewarded for doing unethical things like creating dark patterns and double negatives to mislead and get people to spend more money. Also user-engagement ie. keeping them addicted. This one of my concerns going into this field.

Can I connect with you Ryan?

This is how busy I want to be

sounds like ad for your website.

Hey. What's the tool he metioned on 1:50 mt?

Handsome cutie pie. Good stuff

Got to say dude , your good at your job given the video you just made was simple and straightforward. Not some long fukin video where the cat comes on screen and telling us what his name is and what not

Its not getting into the mind of the user, is observation and asking right questions.

Wow im surprised you have to do the research as well, do you need a hci, or psychology background for that

u dont need design skills, you just need to have the urge to get bummed by a big salary. people who do jobs for the money are very shallow inside. you should do a job for the love of it, ule feel better. big wages dont make u happy

ummm.. ux design/ui design need coding skill? sorry for my bad grammar

Seems like all the ux designers on KZfaq are Asian ? Just an observation

Geez this sounds so stiff and fake. Some good information and in-house view of workflow but the guy speaking sounds like he's sitting on something unpleasant.
