My journey into UX Design and how you can get started too

One of the most common questions I get these days is around how to get started in UX Design — so I made this video!

I also created a resources page on my website that includes links to books, YouTube channels, podcast, university programs and beyond to help newcomers find a place to get started. Enjoy!

ABOUT ME 💁‍♀️
I’m a digital Product Designer, Community Manager, YouTuber, amateur photographer, and basketballer. I’ve been living in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2012 and have dedicated my life to designing technology and experiences in order to help maximize human potential. I believe that meaning comes from making, emotion is the force of life, and as long as you’re creative enough, playful enough and determined enough — that you can get through to anybody.

I draw inspiration from a lot of people. Here’s a short list of some of my favorites: https://www.alexaleighh.com/inspiration

My motto: Practice happy, practice often
