As a UX/UI designer with a non design background (just a minor in interaction design), i find it rough to get more efficient at software. Figma, sketch, adobe CC… idk if i just need more practice since it doesnt come naturally or if im in the wrong field. I fear that at my next entry level position I’ll be fired just because it takes me forever to get digital work done

I think that it takes some time to get used to designing with any tool, and employers should know that. It’s completely normal.
One thing that helped me a lot in terms of designing quickly was learning some keyboard shortcuts. For example holding the Option key and dragging the object to copy something in Figma.
But at the same time it may not be your thing. There are other areas that you could learn more about within UX/UI.

Yes omg duplicating saves lives. One of my fellow designers recommended having a shortcut cheat sheet while using figma and just getting lots of practice. Daunting but doable,, just worried about juggling it all i guess

I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.
