I did! I pivoted from content writing to design work. I even went back to school for another degree. I thought AI would probably take my writing career, so I thought I picked a safer option... lol.

Good on you for being proactive and also expanding your skillset! Did you already do design work in the past? If not, how did you make that pivot from writing given your experience level

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?
