Build more things. You won’t become legitimately better until you face unique problems to solve. The issue with a lot of UX publications and medium articles is that they often make sweeping assumptions which won’t prove helpful long-term as the problems to be solved change all the time

Create your own briefs for websites you visit to try to make them better. Then work towards achieving the goals of the brief. Start small like components of a site or just a page. Then work on larger tasks like a full site or an app.

I’ve been reading a lot of medium articles (UX collective, UX planet, prototypr to name a few publications) which I think has helped me a lot. So I think that can be a good start. Other than that I think it’s interesting to read case studies where someone has taken a product and re-designed it. When it comes to projects in work I always try to see what the other successful products are doing and try to see if I can apply that to whatever I’m designing.

Thanks for your suggestions! Appreciate that ☺️☺️

Don’t forget to do proper user research and testing with whatever projects you end up working on. The fastest way to learn is through being taught by the people you’re designing for.

I’ve seen a lot of questions on here along the lines of “what is the difference between a junior copywriter and a copywriter?” “what is the difference between a senior strategist to a director?”

Can we all collectively agree to educate and set our young talent up for success and make sure they understand how they can grow? Some managers on here are falling short of what is literally their job

My girlfriend graduated from USC with a Psychology degree in 2020, and after trying a couple different industries, decided that UX/UI design is the best path for her.

Does anyone know of any companies hiring entry level? She’s willing to take on any design role.

Hello fellow UX-ers. I recently interviewed for a role and one of the interviewers on the panel asked me if I've done any projects other than for my current company.
