Meet Dan.
2
Dan the UX designer.
3
Well, not really.
4
Not yet.
5
He's learned a thing or two on YouTube and he's decided he wants to learn UX design and become a UX designer.
6
But he doesn't have the money to spend on a fancy boot camp or college degree.
7
He doesn't know any UX designers,
8
he doesn't have a portfolio,
9
and he doesn't really know where to start.
10
In today's video, we'll go through seven simple steps that will help you and Dan become a self-taught,
11
self-made UX designer.
12
All you have to do is like this video.
13
Seriously, that's it.
14
So, before we get started,
15
we gotta define what being self-taught means.
16
It means learning through your own initiatives rather than through formal instruction or training.
17
You will ultimately decide how,
18
when, and what you learn.
19
And to be honest, being self-taught can be kind of risky.
20
You can simply end up wasting tons of time watching random YouTube videos like this one.
21
But hopefully, in this video,
22
I'll guide you on the right path so you won't waste much time.
23
Alright, so step one, informational interviews with UX or product designers.
24
When I say informational interviews,
25
I mean an informal conversation you have with someone to learn about their career,
26
their background, and ultimately build a relationship with them.
27
The goal is not to ask for a job or an opportunity to work at their company.
28
The goal is to know what you don't know,
29
or in other words, to begin understanding what you need to learn to become a successful UX or product designer.
30
And that's half the battle.
31
Imagine talking to a senior product designer at your dream company.
32
Imagine learning the exact skill set needed to work as a UX designer at that company specifically.
33
Imagine getting the inside scoop on the interviewing process.
34
But most importantly, imagine building a friendship with this senior product designer.
35
When you look back at your career,
36
the most important thing is not the projects or the companies that you've worked at,
37
but the human beings that you've connected with and all the users,
38
aka people, that you've helped through your work.
39
This by far is one of the most important steps of your self-taught journey because these relationships only compound over time.
40
Start this as early as you can,
41
but I know what you're thinking.
42
I don't know anyone who's a UX or product designer.
43
Who am I going to interview?
44
Well, not yet.
45
Check this out.
46
I'm about to share a LinkedIn outreach template that has helped me connect and build relationships with product designers at Google,
47
TikTok, Twitter, and more.
48
On LinkedIn, I searched for a product designer filtered for people,
49
then filtered by some sort of mutual connection that I can mention in a message.
50
For me, I searched for anyone who went to my university,
51
San Jose State University, but this can be different for you.
52
Then, I clicked on as many profiles as I could,
53
especially at companies I'd love to work for.
54
Then, I connected, added a note that said something along the lines of,
55
hey, first name, I'm glad to see a fellow SJSU alumni at Current Company.
56
I'm super impressed by your career journey and I'd love to learn more about your experience at Current Company.
57
I'm trying to learn from the best.
58
Let me know if you would be open for a 15 to 30 minute chat sometime next week.
59
Cheers, Andres.
60
Can this message be refined?
61
Yes, but it's a start,
62
and it's worked wonders for me so far,
63
and I hope this template works for you, so use it wisely.
64
Also, if you're a Latino like me,
65
there are awesome websites like latinxwhodesign.com,
66
so go out there and build those relationships.
67
Step 2.
68
Learn what good UX design portfolios actually look like.
69
It's important that when you learn UX design that you understand the end and result of your work.
70
So by reverse engineering UX design portfolios from designers who work at your favorite companies,
71
you'll understand exactly what you're working towards.
72
Similar to step one, you can search for UX or product designers at your favorite company,
73
and they usually have their portfolios available on their profiles.
74
I would open them up,
75
then save or bookmark them for later.
76
This will come in handy when it's time to build your own portfolio.
77
But what does a good UX design portfolio even look like?
78
That's a great question, maybe for another video.
79
Here are some quick qualities of a good UX portfolio that I've personally seen.
80
A strong outline of user research.
81
A validated problem statement.
82
A clear outline of the specific contribution made by that designer.
83
An explanation of why certain design decisions were made.
84
An outline of limitations and project challenges.
85
Sharing what went wrong during the project.
86
Sharing what went right.
87
User testing and user surveys.
88
And finally, business impact.
89
Outcomes.
90
How did your designs help the business?
91
Step 3.
92
Start a self-initiated UX design project of your own.
93
Now that you have some idea of what a good UX design case study actually looks like,
94
you'll be better prepared to start a project of your own.
95
I'm personally a strong believer in the learn by doing philosophy.
96
There are things you'll learn by doing your own projects that an online course might not teach you.
97
But what type of UX design projects should you start anyway?
98
Well, think about the last time you've used an app,
99
website, or software product that frustrated you.
100
Why did it frustrate you?
101
Was it a bad design?
102
If so, is it possible that other users feel the same way?
103
Maybe you can interview people who use the app or website
104
and try to find out if there are others who share your frustration.
105
And if interviewing people might not be possible,
106
you can always Google the app or website name and outline your frustration as a question.
107
Then you might find a forum of users that have had the same frustrations as you.
108
This is user research.
109
Then you can use this research to redesign and reimagine how the app or website could solve this user pain point,
110
aka your frustration.
111
I would strongly recommend designing a prototype.
112
Bonus points if you then share your prototype with users and get their feedback.
113
And bonus bonus points if you improve your designs based on their feedback.
114
Now imagine creating a case study on that project redesign
115
and sending the link to that perspective company design manager or recruiter who knows what type of opportunities that might lead to.
116
But the goal of this step is simply to think about
117
and choose what type of UX design project you'd like to start.
118
You should give yourself a good timeline.
119
Quality is better than quantity here.
120
I recommend one to three months.
121
Then, outline specific milestones and due dates.
122
By the end of month one,
123
maybe you want to finish all your user research.
124
Month two, maybe you want to finish that design and prototype.
125
In month three, maybe you want to get user feedback and update that prototype.
126
Alright, these are some fire tips.
127
You gotta like the video,
128
show some love, and help get these tips out to other aspiring designers just like you.
129
Step 4.
130
Choose and learn a design tool.
131
Now that you've connected with some UX or product designers and you've chosen a UX design project to start,
132
you're ready to make a decision on what design tool you'd like to use.
133
I personally use Adobe XD,
134
however, I've heard great things about Figma.
135
Either way, as a UX or product designer,
136
you're going to have to learn many tools,
137
and so the tool is not as important as the design thinking.
138
Don't overthink this.
139
If you're a current UX or product designer though,
140
I'd love to hear from you.
141
Are you team Adobe or team Figma?
142
Let me know.
143
Step five, find and save UX design resources.
144
It's important to start building your library of UX design resources as soon as possible.
145
This will speed up your workflows and save you so much time long term.
146
So here are some resources to get you started.
147
Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
148
Apple sets a great standard for how software should work.
149
They have a beautifully organized guide to help you design better on mobile.
150
Don't sleep on this one.
151
Google's Material Design.
152
Google also has a great guide for how software should work.
153
If you're designing for Android applications specifically,
154
you'll want to read this one.
155
Page Flows.
156
I love Page Flows.
157
This one isn't free, but I think it's super worth it.
158
It's a place where you can learn the design patterns and user flows of your favorite products like Spotify,
159
Slack, or Notion.
160
It's especially useful when you're still unfamiliar with how some of these products should work.
161
So when you're doing something like a competitive analysis or research,
162
this comes in handy and saves you tons of time.
163
So if you're interested in using PageFlows,
164
I actually have a coupon code in the description down below that you can use when signing up for your account.
165
YouTube channels.
166
All right, I have to give some love to the YouTube channels that have helped me throughout my UX design journey.
167
You've got to subscribe to the future.
168
AJ and Smart, Femke, Mizko,
169
Rachel Howe, VA Experience, Jesse Showalter.
170
And there's so much others that will help you learn UX design for free.
171
So the next resource I know a lot of you will love are template libraries.
172
Now templates are really great for speeding up your user interface design.
173
Figma has an amazing library of community resources that you've got to check out,
174
but there's also some paid resources as well on Creative Market, ThemeForest.net, and UI8.net.
175
Check them out, definitely helpful.
176
Step 6.
177
Start publishing your work and your journey on places like Dribbble or Pants.
178
Although it might feel scary and overwhelming in the beginning,
179
publishing your work online will bring you so much opportunities.
180
You'll learn and get inspired by other designers.
181
And one day, if you share your work consistently,
182
you might even get your first paying client project.
183
Imagine that.
184
And if you're scared, do it scared.
185
And if you're overwhelmed, do it while overwhelmed.
186
And if no one has told you this, I will.
187
Your work is worth sharing.
188
Your story is worth sharing.
189
You are capable of being the UX designer you want to be.
190
Step seven, don't lose hope, keep going.
191
I don't want to sugarcoat this for you.
192
This might take you a long time before you get any client work or get a UX design job.
193
It might take you six months,
194
it might take you a year.
195
If you really want to become a UX or product designer, don't give up.
196
Don't lose hope.
197
Just keep at it day by day.
198
And if no one believes in you, I believe in you.
199
You can do it friend.
200
So I'm planning to create and share a free PDF of the seven steps in this video.
201
So if you're interested in having it as a reference in your UX design self-taught journey,

इस वीडियो के साथ बोलने का अभ्यास क्यों करें?
इस वीडियो में डैन नाम के एक व्यक्ति की कहानी साझा की गई है, जो UX डिज़ाइन सीखना चाहता है। इस प्रकार की सामग्री के साथ बोलने का अभ्यास करने से न केवल आपकी अंग्रेजी बोलने की क्षमता में सुधार होगा, बल्कि आपको पेशेवर क्षेत्रों में संवाद करने के लिए आवश्यक आत्मविश्वास भी मिलेगा। जब आप इस विषय पर बात करते हैं, तो आप नई शब्दावली और व्याकरणिक संरचनाओं को आत्मसात कर सकते हैं, जो आपकी बातचीत को अधिक प्रभावशाली और सुगम बनाती हैं। इससे आपको न केवल अंग्रेजी उच्चारण में सुधार, बल्कि वास्तविक जीवन की स्थितियों का सामना करने की भी संभावना बढ़ती है।
संदर्भ में व्याकरण और अभिव्यक्तियाँ
इस वीडियो में डैन से संबंधित कुछ महत्वपूर्ण व्याकरणिक संरचनाएँ और अभिव्यक्तियाँ हैं, जो आपके लिए सीखने में सहायक हो सकती हैं:
- “I want to learn” - यह विशेषण का उपयोग आपकी इच्छाओं को व्यक्त करने के लिए किया जाता है।
- “I don’t know” - यह आपके द्वारा किसी विषय पर अस्पष्टता को दर्शाता है।
- “Imagine learning” - यह कल्पना करने की क्रिया को स्पष्ट करता है, जो भविष्य की संभावनाओं को उजागर करता है।
- “The goal is not” - यह लक्ष्य को स्पष्ट रूप से बताने के लिए उपयोग होता है।
- “Build a relationship” - यह नेटवर्किंग की प्रक्रिया को दर्शाता है, जो पेशेवर विकास के लिए महत्वपूर्ण है।
इन संरचनाओं का अभ्यास करते हुए आप अपने संवाद कौशल को बढ़ा सकते हैं। यूट्यूब से अंग्रेजी सीखें और इन अभिव्यक्तियों का प्रयोग करें!
सामान्य उच्चारण की जाल
इस वीडियो में कुछ कठिन शब्द और उच्चारण हैं, जिन पर ध्यान देना महत्वपूर्ण है:
- “Designer” - यह शब्द अक्सर गलत उच्चारण होता है। सही उच्चारण “दिज़ाइनर” के निकट होना चाहिए।
- “UX” - इसे “यू एक्ज़” कहा जाता है, लेकिन कई लोग इसे सही प्रकार से पूरी तरह से उच्चारित नहीं करते हैं।
- “Portfolio” - इसे “पोर्टफोलियो” के रूप में उच्चारित किया जाता है, लेकिन ध्यान दें कि कई लोग इसे जल्दी में उच्चारण करते हैं।
जब आप इन उच्चारणों का अभ्यास करते हैं, तो सुनिश्चित करें कि आप उन पहलुओं पर ध्यान दें जिन्हें आवश्यक सुधार की आवश्यकता है। Shadow speech और shadow speak तकनीकों का उपयोग करके, आप अपनी उच्चारण क्षमताओं में सुधार कर सकते हैं।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
☕ हमें एक कॉफी पिलाएं
आपके समर्थन के कारण ShadowingEnglish 100% मुफ्त है। सर्वर और AI की लागत अधिक है — आपकी कॉफी हमें आगे बढ़ने में मदद करती है! 🙏
