Hello! Thank you for showing us the daily responsibilities the us designer might have. I am very concerned as wether i have what i takes or what I’m missing in terms of creativity and i struggle with anxiety so this def helps me out and motivates me to try it. Have a nice day and stay safe!
I'm so happy I found your video. I'm really interested in doing UX design and I've been watching a lot of related videos; this is the first Day/Week-in-the-life ones that was educational and gave me a real view of what to expect from this job. Other similar videos kinda just show what they ate in a day, and that's all well and good, but not what I'm here for. Thank you!
Loved the video, I’m a french junior UX/UI Designer and I’m currently doing my first job as UX Designer. Im suprised that your weeks seems exactly like mine (editing component, meetings, documentations…). I couldn’t know a few month ago that our job is centered on clarification and explain to other co-workers what we think etc Very interesting, congratulations ! (I did my best to write well 😆)

Thank you for sharing this! I've been wanting to transition into a UX design career, and I wanted to see what it would be like. Also, I love the ptd edits from the last day :)
such a lovely video! i'm starting my ui internship and binging life of a ui ux designer videos on here and all the little instances of bangtan in the bg make me smile ear to ear in midst of this excited nervousness, so thank you
I really enjoyed this video, I'm currently taking Google's UX Design course on coursera, learning, practicing, and I hope to land a job this year. Your vlog helped me a lot to see how my routine could be in the future, thanks for sharing! pd: your bangtan posters are beautiful
I am also doing the google UX design. I have gotten through a lot but there is a lot to learn outside of the course like this video and all the links and blogs the course offers.
Thanks for this, Charli! I'm thinking about changing careers so i'm looking for all the videos i can on the internet about the routine of a UX/Ui designer, and you've helped me a lot.
I love your dog so much! I’m not trying to switch to UX (I just switched to freelance writing) but my friend is and I’ve just been fascinated by these types of videos.
Thank you so much for this video. I used to do posters and designs in my current for things going on and never knew anything about UX/UI design. Now I’ve seen your video I’m about to venture down a rabbit hole to look at this as a possible career change.
is it true ux designers always have to do meetings and presentations and lots of interactions not sure if this is right for me since im pretty introverted
As a UI designer, I would tell you no matter if you are UX or UI, a lot of interactions will be there(Even more if you came from Creative Agencies). In my experience, this is pretty normal that we have to train is justify our designs because the STK most of the time don't know about UX, overall we have a good point there.
You can still overcome your fear of social interaction even as an introvert. Don’t let your introversion stop you from pursuing a potential passion and career dreams. Coming from your fellow introvert 😊
So glad u included the personal tip about the pen. I always feel intimidated by meetings and im really trying to grow out of that. So to know it’s ok I can still have nervousness and be successful
How long is your typical work day? Like do you just work your own schedule or is it a 9-5 type of job? Really interested in making a career switch because I want more work/life balance and hoping flexibility will be applicable to this career. Thanks for your time!
You should totally use a milk frother to mix your honey in your drink :) It makes life so much easier. I love your calm demeanor and how helpful this video is to me.
Thank you so much for making this! I'm still learning the basics of UX design through the Udacity UX Design Nanodegree, so this type of a video is great information for someone like me.
I'm a first time viewer here and this video was like a hug. I'm in my last year of high school and I am conflicted career wise to put it very simply. I was on a path leading to Civil eng. but I realized that I just can't see myself doing any of this as a job though it is fun to learn in a class setting. But one passion has stayed consistent over the years is the creative & performing arts. i feel like a career in civil eng wouldn't be the best way for me to release my creative energy in the way that I would like and while I'm aware that I can do it in my down time.... would I really have downtime? I really love graphic and web design and with Comp Sci was my second choice so I was researching the more creative side of comp sci and ui/ux stuck out to me. So hear I am, learning about this field that might just be the one for me. Thanks again!
Hi! New viewer here. :D Just want to thank you for posting this. I've been considering a career pivot towards UIUX and it was comforting how real you were being. I have a pretty low social battery and fidget a lot during meetings too because of nervousness. I noticed in this field there's a lot of meetings (of critiques, general meetings, etc) and this video gave me more confidence since I was doubting my abilities because of those factors. Excited to see more of your content!
hi new subscriber here im 18 and want to start learning about UI/UX designing. pls do more contents about your current job rn and I wanted to learn more. Also love your vids and thanks a lot :)
Happy I found this video. (And I do the same thing with pens in meetings lol. I get anxious when jumping into calls even when I’m familiar with the people on there.) Also! I was wondering what was the name of the virtual escape room?
Oh noo! Sorry about that! Here's the link to the escape room: escapecasaloma.com/on-site-games/king-of-the-bootleggers/ It's also been added to the description :)
Thank you for sharing / making this video. As a interaction student I learn a lot from this kind of videos☺️ One Question: Is the IPad Air enough for your work? A lot of my fellow students use the IPad pro but the IPad Air is pretty strong too. Have you ever regret buying the Air version instead of the Pro Version?
I used an iPad Pro for my old job (company provided) and honestly, there was no difference. Everything I do on my iPad for UX can be done with a notebook and pen. I bought an iPad mostly to read, draw and stream anime lol
I heard UI design jobs are suitable for people who are good at design and graphics, while UX design jobs are suitable for people who like facing users. Is that true??
This is totally true but both of them must know about UX. But what a UX designer does is recapitulate data(first made by a UX Researcher), User Testing, create archetypes, and make the architecture for the web. Looks for insights to create solutions and prototypes in low fidelity. What a UI does, is create the high fidelity wireframes and the final design that must follow the guide style of the brand/product (color, typography, sizes, etc). Also must follow the consistency of the digital product or products(components & buttons). Creates UI kits & design systems if is necessary, animate prototypes(also UX designer can do that) and creates illustrations (but not as a specialist in that roots). Hope it helps you.
Hi there! loved your video! I'm current student at BrainStation UX UI design. This bootcump is super intense since it is only 3 month full time and cost around $14000, my questions is is it worse it or better to go for springboard where same bootcump last 6 months? and I wonder what bootcump or school did you take and how long it took you to find your first UX UI job?
Ty! This was a great day in the life. I have been curious about UX bc it seems to align with my interest in accessibility. I wanted to also ask for the youtube captions did You use a srt file or were these auto generated? This is a longer video so I wanted to ask what You did and if You have suggestions for captioning (for videos on various platforms)? I did see baked in captions during your mentoring session.
I’m in the same boat! Not sure if I should major in Computer Science or Computer Graphics Technology (basically graphic design). I think CS is more well-rounded since u learn to program and reason logically but it’s a lot more math/programming based than design. Either should be good for UX design tho if u have a good portfolio.
@@theglocode thanks! i would want to know how to program but there is sooo much math and im not that great at it. i might still major in cs and minor in design?
@@marinaperevozchikova5613 That’s exactly how I feel! I don’t want to do much math. I think majoring in CS would provide good fallback careers in case you don’t like UX which is one of the reasons why I want a CS degree, but the process of getting it seems tough :(
Thank you for making the video! Would you make a movie to share some UX tech topics such as what’s your design process and tips on how to have better collaboration with PMs and Devs, and how to document your works during the process.
I have a question I’m a software engineer and want to transition to UI/UX product design. I already started learning and have a portfolio together.. if I wanted to start freelancing would clients pay for that work? Or would they rather have someone with UI/UX skills and maybe something life web flow to take my designs into web flow? Idk but it’s a web designer which is the same thing lol idek so confused
I'm a Senior in Highschool and have no idea what I want to major in... My teacher recently recommended me to look up what ux design is and It was actually interesting. My main goal in life is to be successful and have a high paying job. Do you believe being an Ux designer pays well and is stress free?
How long have you been working in UX Design? Any advice for someone who wants to get into UX Design as a career? Qualifications? Job searching and requirements for entry level jobs?
so is a macbook and an ipad with the appropriate applications downloaded sufficient for this job field? (specifically when just starting out) or will i need a desktop computer?
@@charlicheung Hi Charli. I am also in the process of changing careers here soon and would like to hear more about your experiences as a UX Designer. Would you mind if I reached out?
Im study in the university modern language, i like languages I could work as a teacher once I finish my degree but here in my country the salaries are pretty bad, teacher earn above average but is still little. Since i started to work from home in call center i started to get interested in remote job, i want to learn an skill so in a future get another job remotely but with the salary of usa. Im not good at math but i like technology as well but i don’t think i could code, I’ve been searching about UI/ UX, data science, cyber security, social media management but i don’t really know what skills should i pick and study to found a job with a better opportunities. Which one you think that it would work for me?
I always wondered if ux / ui would be for me as I’m interested in the career as someone coming from a business background with an interest of marketing but I lack in artistic 🖼 skill so that’s putting me off 😅
Question 1.0 This video title say UI/UX ,could you please provide more details on what actually takes to do /know , 2.0 What is the reality compared to well fantasy …? 3.0 If bored you are by this life-style can you text me I will give you free 1000 ideas to get out of this state o mind .
