They don't teach this stuff in school
Become a successful designer by uncovering everything they left off the syllabus.
Lots of UX Designers think all they need to know is how to use Figma. Unfortunately, there is a lot more to being a solid UX designer than mastering whatever the tool du jour is and cranking out beautiful wireframes.
Does this sound familiar?
Many UX designers and career shifters face challenges due to a gap in traditional education that overlooks essential soft skills and practical insights. Neglecting these skills can lead to struggles in navigating the complex UX landscape, impacting career growth and success.
- Poor work relationships - A lack of networking skills can limit a designer's ability to build industry connections, find mentors, or tap into new opportunities.
- Difficulty joining a new team - Without understanding how to effectively join and work within diverse teams, designers often struggle to integrate into new environments.
- Real-world UX challenges - A gap in practical, real-world UX knowledge can leave designers unprepared for the complexities and nuances of actual real-world scenarios.
If this sounds like you, Beyond UX Design can help.
