I think you are in the right place

Chidiebele Okeke

Hi everyone, my name is Ebele, an "ex" graphic designer hoping to forge a new career path in UX design. I am quite happy to be on this platform. I have learnt a whole lot and still will be learning a whole lot more. By the way, wouldn't it be nice to include a smiley icon button on the header row of this discussion comment box? :)

Alisa Chinedu

That should have been basic. Wonder how they missed it.

Alisa Chinedu

I don't really have any skill in graphics design. Can I still make it as a UX designer?

Chidiebele Okeke

Sure! I don't think having any skill in graphic design is a basic requirement

Uyai Effiong

Hello Alisa, there is no requirement for graphics design as a prerequisite for UX design. For some people, having an "eye" for how things are aligned visually may be helpful. But there are many excellent UX designers who have learned about visuals and where to place things as they went along in their career.

Afiari Mary

Hello everyone, my name is Mary, a graphic designer transitioning to UX design. This platform has been of great help. I'm love UX However, I'm having challenges starting out like putting these things into actual practice.

Chidiebele Okeke

Hi Mary, I think I understand your challenges. Two good courses to start with will be User Experience: The Beginner’s Guide and Become a UX Designer from Scratch (the new revised course).

Uyai Effiong

Hi Mary, in addition you can also set up a dummy site or a portfolio where you can practice different layouts and styles and things that you see in the courses and other articles. Sometimes it is easier to do this first before working on someone's live project

Hi everyone, I am exploring my thirst to learn and to pick up new skills as I advance my career. Got a strong background in customer service and managing physical, high-touch and low-touch developer communities. I've got a long term goal of helping to build easy-to-use, eye-catching design experiences on web, mobile and everyday items. Joining this community is a concrete step in this direction. I am a total newbie and am looking forward to learn as much as I can. Thank you.
