Career guidance required.
Is it practically possible to have career in ui ux without having any experience with art( self love towards art and drawing in general) , or design or graphics.

Almost all ui ux people I see on LinkdIn have one of the above. I am 29 yr old, coming straight Outta upsc preparation (failed) and some yrs before that in plain operations.

I don't like coding. Have some speaking skills...hence I chose this path. But 6 months into it..it feels highly highly intimidating.

You can have a good career. You don't need art/drawing skills to be a UI designer. You have to learn and practice. Practice everyday and improve your skills and you will get there.
