i was at the point of throwing away my notebooks after getting discouraged for not having a college degree and settling. imposter syndrome has struck me hard and this roadmap solidified my belief in myself. I too have only been learning for intensely for a few months and thought it wasn’t enough time to have credibility. Today I officially finished designing and developing my website. I’m so thankful for people like you, Rachel for making this type of knowledge accessible for people in my situation. To anyone on the fence as I have been for the past few months, please please please do not give up. Even small steps every day will add up, keep track of your learning in case you start to doubt yourself so you have something to look back on to realize how far you’ve come. I believe in you and i believe in me and i believe in us!!!
You're doing great there friend! Hang in there 💖
Thank you so much France i believe in you too!!!!!!
Girlll this is me I feel so discouraged because I don’t have my degree either & I’m struggling to find something I take interest in but I did love UX/UI design. I stopped learning because of imposter syndrome 😭 you are inspiring and I pray you’re successful girl.
ENRICHING ENLIGHTENING EMPOWERING INSPIRING
But why you are so cute
I really appreciate how passionate you are in your work.. The way you explained in depth with each and small thing shows how skilled or how good your way of learning is
Love how you allow us to decide how much we wish to pay for this roadmap. How generous of you, really appreciate it :)
Thanks Krish! 🥺🥺🥺
@@rachelhow hi i have 32years old and i lost my job in 2020 and i didnt find any job in all this 2 years i love ux design and frontend dev so i have just 5 month to change my career and find a job so wish one dont take much time please help me
Love your style of design. Great content and channel!
The way you talked point-to-point, it seemed as if you've been a product designer for your whole career. Certainly shows your consistency and practice.
Wow you’re too kind Sarthak 🥰 I try my best to explain it so beginners can understand easily 😊
Thank you so much Rachel! I'm at the point where I'm feeling stuck at my self learning journey, this roadmap really helps a lot! Appreciate it really much! You're amazing!
I'm so glad to hear this. all the best to you!
Wow Rachel, you’re so much help. I am thinking of switching careers and this is the kind of advice I need right now. I will watch your other videos to get a better picture. Thank you!
This is the best video ever. I've been in this tough place for the last few years of wanting to pursue this career, but not feeling like I have the skills or ability to handle it. I already have tons of visual design skills, some program knowledge, and some experience building mock websites for fun, but still never believed in myself. While I have a lot of work to do on everything else, this made me want to commit to making this my career. I'm still stuck on where to go from here, but this helped a lot.
This is literally a gold of a video, since i’ve watched this video I’ve been following this exact methodology to self learn UX with little experience and I have landed a UX job at a big consulting firm in 2 months.
Thank you so much for making UX so accessible!! I have been struggling so much with money I had no funds to attend bootcamps and this pushed me to go forward and just be confident with the information I absorb! I absolutely love your channel please keep making content like this 🤧💛
hi, you seem kinda young (i am too) how the hec did u get a job that fast! just with this video?
@@greatbigmeat4769 in total i did about 256 applications so honestly just keep applying until you strike gold even if you feel u dont meet all the job spec after u feel at a point where you have a good grasp on how ux research techniques are conducted n when to use them aswell as the design side (i am an illustrator so it made ux design a smidge but easier to transition to)
being in the field of ui/ux design, it is hard?
Congratulations! @soobaeks I'm on my Day 1 on learning this craft and I must say it fun. I hope to see you down the road soon!
First of all congrats! Secondly I wanted to know how long did it take U to furnish ur UX learning from scratch?
Your Intelligence & Kindness to help others making you much more Effective UX mentor out there! 🙏 Thank You So Much Lady Teacher Rachel for the tutorial for the many who didn't have the means to learn UX! 🕯🌷🌿🌎💖
I just graduated BS Computer Science with most of it being spent knee deep in the pandemic. My human-computer interaction course was cut short and the struggle of transitioning into a new learning set up made things a lot harder. I am lost and discouraged but picking myself up slowly. Thank you for this, hopefully I'll make it through!
Rachel, this is just so well done and your resources and presentation in this video is so awesome. Thank you for sharing with us and giving us the confidence to DO THIS! Just subscribed with notifications, can't wait to see more great work from you!!
This video is fantastic!!! Very informative. The way you address each step is so easy to follow. Thank you Rachel for this wonderful video :) I can't wait to watch more.
The top video timeline bar is so awesome, Raised my respect for you instantly.
It is SO kind of you to create these videos on top of giving us a roadmap! I've been pretty lost recently as my course literally called Interaction Design didn't actually do UX design at all (I thought there might be some y'know) and I fell out of love with design for a while. The course was good and I learned a lot, but I'm excited to learn more about UI and UX design and hopefully build a career from it. Thank you so much for these incredibly helpful videos, it is so kind and generous of you
@1jennyMcc, I fell out as well. After disappointing bootcamp experience, I am hoping to get the motivation and desire again to become a true UX designer 😅. Please people running away from boot camps promising jobs in 3months or 6 months after the course, they've no link with the companies, you will be doing courses that doesn't give you real world problem to solve after paying hug amount of money, especially if you are new to tech industry😢it won't help you. Have learnt my lesson in the hard way.😢
Love the greeneries all over your room. Great video as always Rachel!
So much to learn. I really love the loading bars up top. 🎵
This was my sign to keep at self-taught UX design🙏🏽. And I appreciate that you said we need to know why we want to become a UX designer and not be doing it for the money or because it's trending. Excellent video, Rachel. Thank you!
Yes! Thanks for watching Zoey, all the best in your UI/UX journey!
6months it is…
@@rachelhow HI Rachel I am trying so hard on this journey. please what were your projects or case studies you did when u started out?
I have been watching yt tutorials and practicing them. i still feel lost.
how did you know what to do next?
What websites served you more?
When they say "UX Research " i dont fully understand how to implement such. i
how did you know you were ready in just 3 months? Was your portfolio having enough to show case?
please help. i am confused even though i have been googling and stuff
I pray you see my msg on this old video of yours.
have a great day
Pls how do I get full class to learn this
It's definitely not easy to self-taught things you have no idea about, more so if someone wants to switch careers for it. The work you have been doing has been very inspiring and we hope you continue to flourish in the UI/UX scene.
We also appreciate these explainer videos and please keep them coming!

I'm a frontend developer with a bit of backend/infra experience as well, but I've realized that I enjoy the process of UX design SO MUCH more. I'm now transitioning into UI/UX - Frontend developer role ;) Pretty excited. Thank you for this video. this helped me figure out where I could get started.
Thanks, Rachel. I truly appreciate your knowledge sharing.
Thank you so much, I really like road maps when it comes to learning new things!

You know you're a ux/ui designer when even your youtube videos are designed like a website 💯
Aww. Thanks Laura!!! I appreciate that!
Thank you ! Your content is very helpful ❤
Because of my financial situation, I couldn't pay any money for your roadmap but I hope I can support you in the future. Thank you for your time and generosity.
The Shen Yun ads come through. I recommend it to you. I have seen the show. It's gorgeous. Symmetrical and elegant. You could give it a shot and bring back that beauty to your product and design process. Probably the next UA-cam video too!
As someone who is interested in this field and looking for a place to start - thank you. This video was very frank and effective.
Love the way you clear all doubts so easily. I love watching your videos.❤

Awesome guidelines to start my career, such a great one.
Excellent video. I’m a web developer at the moment but I’ve been more and more interested in making the switch to a UX designer. It’s scary but I feel like my design skills (I used to be a graphic designer) combined with my understanding of business & development could be put to good use in this new role! Wish me luck 😅

Great video! Thanks for sharing
I just want to say I'm so happy I stumbled upon you. I'm a neurodivergent/adhd mom making a drastic career change now that my daughter is in University. Working in finance/healthcare admin never felt natural, it was always a struggle. I'm naturally an aesthetic person and love technology, ... but I'm not the most technical person .... Yet I'm still very interested in becoming a UI/UX designer! You seem like a younger, more focused version of me which inspires me! LOL. I've subscribed to you on youtube and your website. THANK YOU! 🤗
Hello. I'm a front end developer and now I'm working on a project based on car sales, I do the front end and my friend does the backend of the site, just because we need a designer to help us make the pages more beautiful. If you have the desire to help us with this project that can be a start up for you and once in the future this project will also bring us money, leave a reply please
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO
You're doing a good job. This information has helped me a lot. Thank you!

kris
@@kristinadobrina9757 i am interested in doing this
This is next level youtube. Thank you so much for the dedication :)
Hello Rachel, your videos are super helpful for me as I'm trying to transition into UX as a uni student so thank you so much 🥰 I was wondering if you could make a video talk about handing off design to developers more efficiently, because not many people talk about it.
Sure!! Added to my notes :)
Thank you for watching 💕
How is everything going now??
Thank you, I’m trying to transition careers and I’m very interested in Ux/Ui design.
Thanks for this on Rachel. I just began my UI/UX journey 5 days ago and I know next to Jack. So this video is of great help 'cos flying without a roadmap or an organized way of learning is stressful.
Tell me ur roadmap or any source
I am super grateful for Rachel to help me start my journey to become an UX UI Designer.
Best of luck to you :)
