I Am A Forever Learner... Oops

Well, here we are again. I have officially started another UX Design certificate. I want to keep my skills fresh and who knows, maybe a new challenge will appear (spoiler: it already has!). I have decided to work on Google’s UX Design Certificate. So far the course has definitely been interesting. I do love how they jumped right into teaching me about the types of jobs there are in UX, showed journeys of various designers and how they got into the roles they are now, and the basics of networking in this industry. I honestly feel my formal education did not prepare me as well as it should have in this, but I’m very glad this one did.

The course will include three projects that I’ll be able to add to my portfolio. The first one is from a randomized prompt, and suffice it to say, I got lucky.

I am extremely excided for this first project and I can’t wait to share it with you. I am a big fan of video games and am an avid arcade-goer, so this is right up my alley. My biggest challenge with this project is I am a big fan of video games and am an avid arcade-goer, so I will need to keep my biases in check. That said, I am confidently I can knock this one out of the park. I am scheduling my interviews now, so keep an eye here for updates and on my portfolio for the finished design. Let’s see how this goes!
