Embarking on a career in UX design requires a combination of learned technical skills and an intrinsic interest in getting under the skin of user behavior. It’s an industry that in the past 20 years has changed almost beyond comprehension - from a place of pure exploration and play in the early days of the internet, to a delicate and measurable human-centric science (though still with as much space for creative exploration as possible).
For those ready to explore a career in UX, the best place to begin is by exploring the many foundational resources available online - Coursera and Figma are great places to learn and practice the basic skills you’ll need.
