This is the first video I've ever seen of a designer talking about their 'balance' between being a full time worker in tech, to being a full time mom. I worked for over a decade in design and design manager but then once I had my son because of costs and caretaking support, I decided to be a SAHM. I've not really heard anyone from a design bg talk about how hard it can be or isolating, or how you do go through an identity crisis about who you are now with this tiny human depending on you 24/7. So this was interesting to listen to. I'm pregnant again and my son is now 2 years old, and I'm expecting my 2nd child in a few weeks. I have had mini panic attacks about the longer I stay away from the design world I worked so hard in the less relevant I become. But at the same time, I know my babies need me 100% more than a client or company that will happily lay me off at the drop of a hat. Really happy I came across your video!

Thank you for sharing your story. It’s always okay to take pauses in life especially for our littlest who need us so much but only for a short time. Balancing both identities along with all of the other ones (wife, daughter, sister, friend etc) is a constant juggle and not all the balls are glass at the same time. You can decide which ones are rubber for now, drop them and pick them up later. I so appreciate the time you took to leave a heartfelt comment. You’ve given me a spark to pick up the camera again!

@@HanBang I"m glad! And again, equally glad I found your video. It's not something I've come across at all to be honest. I don't know if it's a symptom of the tech world being mostly male, or the fact that women feel embarrassed to speak about it. Either way, it's good to talk about situations that might be more common than people understand.

@creatoratplay Жыл бұрын
@@HanBang I switched to UX after graduating with a BBA majoring in entrepreneurship but had no hard skills. When looking at jobs, I didn't qualify for anything I found interesting or creative. Then, I was randomly putting together a customized financial tracker for a friend's business to make recording transactions more pleasant when my boyfriend said that what I was doing was basically UX and how he thought I would really enjoy that career. He then showed me a few videos explaining UX, and I was hooked! Since then, I've taken many online courses and am about to graduate with a master's certificate in UX Strategy. At the top of my head, my favorite learning has been the tools and frameworks I can use to approach challenges. Before, I wouldn't know where to start. I also feel more confident knowing I can prototype solutions. Thanks again for what you share about UX on your channel! It helps me visualize my goal of working remotely as a UX Designer. :)
