Hi Marissa! From a fellow SEA international senior about to graduate soon in UIUX, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE CAREER ADVICES 🙏 They’re so so helpful and I would have never gotten this from school or classes. Especially for career pivots which can be so daunting but you are so brave and inspires me to take more chances to reach for my dream as well!
Awesome journey, I recently graduated from general assembly from UX immersive bootcamp. Currently applying a job, not easy man.
hi Marisa!! Im so happy YT recommended this to me. Although im not in design, I appreciate that you shared how you took initiative in putting yourself out there -- i'm still in the process of going through college but this was valuable insight to me and i'll take inspiration from your idea when it's time to look for internship/job
ELA! THANK YOU
TH-cam recommended me this video and I’m so happy it did 🙌🏾 from the past few weeks I’ve been thinking about sharing my work on twitter as an UI/UX designer and your video was but since there’s a lot of people doing it already I thought I pointless.
