I transitioned into tech in-house, and while I always had interest in it, it was also a career safety move. I was an AD and corporate career growth is important to me. Looking at the senior creative leadership across several agencies I worked at, it’s mostly writers. So I wanted to be in the business where I would have less resistance to move up.

Actually very good point. Writers unfortunately have an advantage here.

Went from art direction to UX/UI in tech. Personally I love the role and the work. The user testing, refining, modifying, figuring out the MVP, until you get to a final product ready for release.

The tech I work in have incredibly complex user problems, usecases and interfaces. I find it fun to work in because of this - my job is to lead my team to the simplest solution to complex problems.

Transitioned to exhibit design recently
