Hey, Estie. I got to know you from another 2 Designlab friends. I had the same mentor. I feel you are very smart to reach out to other people as your mentor rather than relying on just one person. I had struggle with him for a while and finally switched mentor. Now I am working at a small startup with a group of excellent people. You are very inspired. Would you consider to make a video about how do you network and stay connected with ux professionals? I have been networking for a while and feel tired to push myself keep meeting new people. Would like to hear more about your networking experience.
Hi Lan!! Omg congrats with the startup gig :D I think I recognize your name on his mentor profile HAHA that's so crazy! I just posted a vid about meeting with a ux designer at google + reaching out to DL mentors as a great networking source!
I just completed Design 101 last week and applied for UX Academy (hopefully I am granted a spot in the September cohort!) I love your updates so much and hearing about your experience so far! It really eases a lot of my anxieties and I don't feel so alone. Thank you!! xoxo
Hello Estie. I'm considering attending UXAcademy. It is great listetning to you, I caught myself listenning to you for over 30 minutes now and I still enjoy it. Thanks for sharing your experience!
hi Estie! I have that mentor now and I have pretty bad anxiety. I love your videos and im on phase 2: capstone 1 right now. Thank you for sharing your experience!
I have anxiety about it to! I want to join a boot camp so bad over the summer but I work full time, so I want to make sure that if I go to work part time and to a boot camp it’ll be worth it especially with COVID ongoing.
Thank you for making these videos! I subscribed because I’m also thinking of joining DSL this month and I was looking for reviews and I really like how you talk about it 🤗
Katie Roehrich Hi Katie! That’s so cool! I was a little nervous about the whole process but I decided to start D101 this week as well :) I’m on Linkedin if you wanna connect (Julia Gab). Good luck!
I'm thinking about joining Designlab and came across your videos while attempting some research :) really helpful content! Wishing you the best luck in your journey and your job search!
Hi Estie, this is an awesome video! So much great info! I am curious though about a person who transitions to UX with no experience, where do they find creativity to build their projects? Would that have to be a talent of the person, to have an eye for design to make it in UX? Bootcamps probably doesn’t teach you that, right? How do you develop ideas to create your sites? Do you have a book or resource recommendation in finding design inspiration?
I'm looking into DesignLab because of you! (I've never heard of them before) Do you know if the projects are always different in each cohort? I want to make sure that my portfolio doesn't have the same projects as others since UX is pretty competitive.
Omg cool! Thanks for watching~ DL provides various project briefs for you to choose from, but they also allow you to go over with your mentor if you have ideas for independent projects!
