Great first video, Sharon! Big Thumbs Up! I really needed this. I was laid off a couple months into the pandemic and am now working a part-time temp job doing digital content production while also attempting to transition into UX design. I have a strong background in technical writing, document editing and photography, though of course those talents have a somewhat limited applicability in UX/UI design. So I've been looking for free/really inexpensive learning resources, and the list you've thoughtfully included in the "Show More" drop-down page is just what I need. Thank you so much! I've subscribed to your channel and will be watching your other videos in the days ahead. You are a breath of fresh air and a fine source of 'newbie' encouragement. 👏 👍
My first lesson on UI/UX design start today with this video and it's perfectly awesome, nice to meet you ma'am. KZread Algorithm did well for me. Looking forward to more of these piece
This is what’s up! Your advice is super helpful. Thank you for the tutorial and daily routines, that’s a great way to go.
