 What's up guys? In this video I'm going to teach you how you can become a UX designer with no experience. I'm going to share my own personal story about how I did this and I'm going to give you some tips about how you can get into the industry with no experience. Ready for it? Let's go! First of all I want to share with you a story about how I got into the industry and how it's a bit different than you might expect. So my advice to you is first of all stop stop worrying. There's nothing to really worry about because how you get the job is about the amount of value that you can add to someone else. It's not about really about your education, it's not about your background but it's about what talents you possess and what you can do for other people. When I was starting out in my early 20s I was really passionate about magazine design and although I studied graphic design for university in my final dissertation which is at the end of the three years, I went well above and beyond what was expected because I just had a passion for designing things and I was really passionate about magazine design so the iPhone came out around the time and I just delved straight in. I made my own fashion magazine, I wrote the articles, did the photography and then put it together in an app, learned how to use Apple's really hard Objective C programme and language with no experience in programming and I managed to get an app on the App Store even though I wasn't even rewarded for it in university, I wasn't judged on that, I was judged on the design but luckily enough I was able to get work experience at Vogue magazine based on the actual app that I'd done because they were launching an app at the time on the iPad when I first came out and they didn't have anyone who'd have any experience and I was going there for work experience and I was able to show them the app that I made and that's how I actually got a job in the industry but what the reason they hired me was because I was able to add value to them, I had a skill that they didn't have and that's because I went above and beyond, there wasn't about, there's hundreds of people who graduated from my university, thousands across the country but because I was able to demonstrate a skill which they wanted then that's why I got into the industry and my story is that you can do it too so the best way to learn how to become a UX designer is actually to create your own projects, choose something you're passionate about, whether it be cricket, finance, teaching people and just design something yourself so you can use like you can use a lot easier tools than I use now, you can use Adobe XD, you can use Figma, Figma's a free tool and the best way to learn is really to do so choose something you're passionate about and actually just make something like make a magazine, a digital magazine, make a website, make a video streaming service, choose something really cool and make it in the tool, make all the pages, link them together and at the end of it you're going to have something that you're really proud of like actually pretend like you're actually going to make this thing, put your soul into it, go above and beyond and what then you do with that is you then you have to get a portfolio together and that's something that I wouldn't really even bother worry about making, how do you make it, don't worry about it, there are three builders out there with Squarespace and Adobe portfolio but you then write about your passion project, you make a video about it, you write about what you've done, you share screenshots, you share all the different designs and that's called a case study so you just do one really in-depth thing, write about it, put it on there and then add value, you can use LinkedIn to write to people, there are thousands of founders of companies especially there ones who really could do with some work so maybe write to them and ask them what what can you offer them, you know what can you do for them and that's how you get experienced because then when you're willing to give to other people that's when they open up and give to you, it's not really all about taking, you've got to think about it is what can I offer other people that will then you know it's it's a two-way thing, people people aren't going to give you anything, it's what you can give to other people is how you get in the door and it might not be a paid thing, it might just be an internship for a couple of weeks, it might be a project that you work on but it's all about you offering people value and then you can use those real life projects to then get your foot into the door and get a job because getting a junior job is the hardest thing of anyone's career because how do you stand out from other people when there's thousands of people like you all applying for the same jobs, it's very easy when you're in a career to move up to the ladder but getting the first job is all about what you can do to stand out to other people and that's what you can offer, you want to learn more about your ex and your eye design, check out my next video I'm going to teach you everything you need to know and check out AnthonyConboy.com I've got loads of example projects if you can't think of something to do yourself until next time keep designing
