Blink UX’s Post

Three days before starting my second internship, I received news that my UX mentor had to leave. Such is life in the startup world; things move fast, and investments might fall through. Suddenly finding myself as the sole UX designer at the company was daunting. Initially, having a mentor was crucial to me, but I quickly shifted my mindset to see this change as an opportunity for personal growth and learning. "What am I supposed to learn from this?" This mindset has helped me a lot in the past🚀💡 Recognizing the need to trust my abilities as a UX designer, I reflected on two years of dedicated study and the significant free time I invested in UX. I just needed the chance to prove to myself that I was capable, and this situation provided it. 📚💪 Now halfway into my internship, I've conducted 30 interviews and tests, both internally and externally. Drawing from my experiences as a project leader, I developed a project plan, organized UX research documents and workshops, and started the implementation of a design system. 📊✏️ This journey has undoubtedly tested and strengthened my confidence in my skills as a UX designer. 💼💪 How do you navigate through changes? Do you adopt a specific mindset to guide you? 🔄💭 #UXdesign #PersonalGrowth #Mindset

UX/UI Unpaid Internship. What to expect, what not to expect, what to ask for. This story is going to be about my experience as a UX/UI intern, and some advice on what to expect, what not to expect and what to ask for, ideally. What’s supposed to be a given: you’re giving away your time, effort and the knowledge and expertise you have, exchanging it for some experience you can gain in the field of your interest, and of course learning something new along the way, this part is key. In my case it was UX design, so I’m going to briefly give notes about what I’ve learned about that. What to expect: you are going to learn something new and get some new experience in one way or another, now the quality of that will depend on the organization.  You are going to provide some work for free, the amount of hours will be agreed with your employer, that also determines how much you’ll learn in a way.  In my case I worked 20-40 hours weekly (mostly 40 hours), yes I worked a lot and was living off my savings.

💁♀️ There is nothing wrong with having personal case studies in your portfolio. Many junior Designers, including myself, got their first jobs with a portfolio of example projects 🚀 That being said, showcasing real-life experiences will elevate the quality of your portfolio and potentially open more doors for you. You might say: ‘But I don’t have any real-life projects yet! What can I do?’ 😳 To overcome this problem, seek out experience in real world, outside of your UX Bootcamp or school. Look for internships or volunteer opportunities that will allow you to work on real design projects. You will use the skills you've learned for real-world challenges and add new projects to your portfolio. #portfolio #uxportfolio #portfoliodesign #portfoliowebsite #uxdesigner #learnux
