I’ve began working on a professional certificate offered by Google through Coursera. So far, I enjoy the structure of the courses and know that I’d be heavily interested in pursuing UX design as a career.
I like the ability of combining my technical abilities with my creative abilities. I also feel that the qualities I’ve inherited from past work experiences have allowed me to embrace empathy and intuition which I feel would be strong suits as I take on this journey.
I hope that the certificate allows me to build a respectable enough portfolio so that I can start applying to entry level roles as a UX Designer. I’d be interested in finding apprenticeships or full time roles so that I can become an expert in this field.
