10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming a Product Designer

UI Narrative: UX, UI, IxD, Design and Research

Episode 55 Show Notes:

After almost eight years as a designer, I've learned many things about UX, in general, that teachers didn't teach in the university and UX bootcamp I attended. In this episode, I go over the ten things I wish I knew before becoming a Product Designer. Some of these tips are groundbreaking pieces of advice I discovered early in my career. Others are helpful tips I've picked up along the way.

To be prepared for the real world, you have to experience the good and bad things about being a UXer on your own. Hopefully, this will prepare you for what you might expect.
