Refueling… ⛽️⛽️⛽️ I’ve discovered that adding interactions to my designs calms me when I feel stressed or overwhelmed with work.

Positioning yourself as a UI/UX designer and finding the right job can be a serious challenge, especially when transitioning from a different career. I’ve earned tons of experiences and skills from my previous roles, but I often wonder: is it right to list them here? Are they really irrelevant? With no real experience in this market, I find myself applying as a junior, even though I’m older than the typical junior candidate. The negative responses to my applications can be disheartening. I polish my UI/UX portfolio daily, but it’s honestly harder than I expected. It seems it will never be perfect, nor finished. I’m bombarded with amazing design samples and portfolios, realizing that those designers are also seeking jobs, often with more experience and more beautiful, real projects as showcases. But this isn’t a hopeless verbalization—just me, thinking out loud. If you’ve been through this transition or have advice, I’d love to connect. We all start somewhere, and I’m determined to bring my passion and skills to the UX/UI field. #UXDesign #UIDesign #CareerTransition #DesignCommunity #JobSearch #NeverGiveUp

9 Career paths in UI/UX(Pt.1)...I'm in love with the last two! Right before I started my product design journey. I had always wanted to venture into a field that will also afford me the opportunity to do what I love-Research, Brainstorming, Problem Solving, Writing and somewhat Visuals! As someone who loves research, I embarked to find a common ground for what I truly love doing after more than a decade in my professional career and Viola, I found interest in PRODUCT DESIGN! So, let's dive into this field I fell in love with…Let's explore the different career fields in product design also known as UI/UX… 🔥Motion Designer:  Motion designers think about what it feels like for a user to. move through a product and how to create smooth transitions between pages on an app or website. They may also create animations or visual effects to bring their design ideas to life. 🔥Visual Designer: Visual designers focus on how a product or technology looks. They are often responsible for designing logos, illustrations, and icons, as well as deciding on font color, size, and placement. Sounds interesting innit?. 🔥Interaction Designer: Interaction designers focus on designing the experience of a product and how it functions. They strive to understand the user flow, or the path, that a typical user takes to complete a task on an app, website, or other platform. All the interactions you enjoy on products are specialties of interaction designers. 🔥VR/AR Designer:  Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) designers create products that provide users with immersive experiences, unbounded by the limits of the physical world.  For example, VR can feel like you're entering the setting of a magical imaginary land. On the other hand, augmented reality uses the physical world as a backdrop and adds virtual elements on top of it. I remember my experience with this VR two years ago…fighting imaginary soldiers…it was fun though I am not sure I want to disgrace my ancestors again…Lol.. Read my next post to see my favorites of them all... Continuation in the next post.... #theproductlady #uxdesigner #careersintech #careersinuiux #womenintech

𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐮𝐱 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐱 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠? 𝐃𝐨 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞? Luke Ylias asked some very relevant questions in response to my post below which I think warrant a real answer. My take (keeping in mind I'm not a Designer): between Game and Product UI/UX Design, there are clear similarities in processes used: research, synthesis, concept, develop, deploy etc. are universal, each involving nominally similar tasks. But there are fundamental differences in purpose, execution, impact and perceived value, which, in practice, make it difficult to transition from Design for Product to Design for Games. Several reasons why: - 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬/𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 #productdesign generally measures success in commercial metrics: user acquisition/conversion/retention, revenue generated, business processes optimized, friction reduced, efficiency, etc. #uiuxdesign for games aims to immerse the user, provide contextual information in support of game or combat mechanics, narrative ambitions, etc. and orchestrate friction in such a way that it provides a ‘fair’ challenge. I suppose you could say that success in this respect centers on 'emotional' metrics. - 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 Research for Product Design identifies opportunities to reduce user pain points/friction, extend the feature set, maximize KPI's and so on In UI/UX for Games, user research informs and influences gameplay/combat mechanics, 3C and level design, game balancing and more - 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Visual treatment in design for Product generally involves language systems that adhere to brand or style guides, and aim to inform users effectively, with clarity and consistency. Assets are typically vector based. In Games, overall visual treatment is subject to the genre and art direction of the game, and is intended to enhance the player experience. Assets required can vary wildly, and are typically (digitally) hand painted. - 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 Product UI/UX Design frequently involves questions of cross-compatibility (browser, Windows/Mac, Android/iOS), n-tier architecture, database/back end integration, etc. Game UI/UX Design considers topics such as performance/latency, controller/input features and mapping, memory usage, engine integration, accessibility, and more Overall, this means that, for UI/UX vacancies that focus on in-game work, we almost exclusively look for candidates whose past experience and portfolio showcase direct familiarity with the type of challenges we're tackling. I recognize that may sound disappointing, but do keep in mind: of course there are also 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑦 areas in the games industry where Product Designers are needed 🙂 #gamejobs

Hey y'all! 🌟 Wanted to share some thoughts on job applications, specifically in the UI/UX world. 🎨💻 Lately, I've been seeing a lot of postings looking for a "UI/UX unicorn" – someone who can do it all. 🦄 But honestly, I've started to doubt these kinds of ads. Hear me out! Creative folks, especially those with Fine Arts diplomas, might lost in flows, mapping, and digital architecture. On the flip side, designers strong in UX might get a bit lost in the world of UI and illustrations. I know, I know – creativity has no limits! 🚀 But let's be real and break down these job postings a bit. I've found myself trusting ads that ask for separate UX specialists UI visual designers, illustrators, or 3D/2D artists. It just makes more sense to me. 🤔 Creative people are like Swiss Army knives, but job hunting is easier when roles are a bit more specific. 🧩 What's your take on this? How do you approach job applications in the UI/UX field? 🗣️ #UIUX #DesignTalk #CreativityUnleashed

🚨 Unrealistic Job Expectations in UI/UX Design 🚨 As a UI/UX designer, have you ever come across job postings that seem to require a superhero?
