    Amazing! Love to see people finding their way in. I’ve been designing for 8 years. Took me from a poverty mindset, to a position where I could help those around me with life skills. Keep going! We have one of the best jobs in the world.

    Hi Liza! Great work... I love the zero experience videos, and in your case, it's real, relatable and very interesting. You have a great presentation style and your energy is fantastic. Don't apologize for your "bad" English.. it's not bad, it's beautiful. If I could I am sending you a giant hug and a high 5. Your mom and dad are probably super proud of you. As a girl dad, I am. Keep up the top shelf work. You've got this!

    Hey Liza! Your story is so inspiring and most of all, I love your attitude all throughout the process! I'm curious, how did you study for UX fundamentals? and which youtube videos would you say were helpful in building out the portfolio? I'm trying to self-teach myself and feeling a bit lost with which resources to go to.

    im so glad i found this video ! when you talk baout in the beginning you had no idea who you was (motion designer, graphic designer, ui/ux ect) this is currently where I am at. I am finding it so confusing to figure out where i fit ? Im reading so much information telling me to do this and do that and I'm confused. All I know is that I can design, I have a good understanding of ux/ui pricipals. ive learn to code and build websites (because i thought i had to do it all) so now i will stop trying to learn everything. Thanks

    Hello Liza, I am on my journey of elf-taught UX designer. I am doing a lot of tutorials he in YT and I am wondering if you have any channels here that you can recommend to keep learning. Also, apart from TY, where else did you learn the skill that you have today in UX? Thanks 💙
