DESIGN
I could be a Senior Designer earlier
if I learned these six things in Design school
Going to a design university is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I have met inspirational instructors, great friends, good memories, and I have learned various things, which lays a solid foundation for my future work.
After graduating from college in Graphic Design, I chose a different path from what I had learned to become a UX/UI Designer.
I tried to manage in a new field with new domain knowledge and tried to self-learn new abilities. It has been a while, and I am about to set foot into my 10th year of this journey with my current work as a Product Design Coach at GEEK Up.
Having good results in school, I believed that my work would be just as easy as snapping my fingers. But then, I realized that what we have learned in school could only give us a head start. To be good at design work, we have to learn so much more.
Recently, I had a chance to recall my student time while attending as a member of the graduation board at the University of Architecture. My intended approach was to create trust, encouraging efforts, and sharing more information about what was waiting for the students who were about to embark on a career journey.
