Never too late to persuade a design and tech dream!
The decision to take up User Experience Design Immersive(UXDI)marks a new beginning, a new chapter to my life, to my career. Doing a career change have never cross my mind since I was always in the marketing field.
When going through the pre-course assignment, tutorial videos and guides for various tools like Axure, Adobe xd and proto.io reminds me of my favorite secondary school subject: Design and Technology (D&T). Both subject may sound different, however the thought process and development are very relevant.
Back then in those days, access to technology was limited. It is just hand sketching ideas, designs and concepts on grid technical paper. Now, all these works are digitize with help of technology. And both shared a commonality: understanding what issues the user are facing. The difference between the two; D&T build ideas and design into physical products while UXDI are created and build in web/ mobile applications.
Seeing both subjects have so much similarity, makes me feel that the decision to take up UXD was right. I have always wanted to be in design and tech related field which I didn’t get to persuade and explore in my younger days and I guess now should be the time!
I was introduce to this course through my cool friend. I’m grateful to her and her friend who motivated me to explore UXD. Both of them have inspired me that there are always a lot of possibilities and have always encourage me to be confident and trust myself. They have assist me in many ways relentlessly, answering and advising me all my doubts that I really appreciate them. Thank you Wendy Ooi & Terry Tan.
Till then, Px
