UX CHALLENGES 15
How DailyUI challenge
helped me?
When I asked my senior,
I did it for 100 consecutive days without any gap. I also used
to share my design on LinkedIn and Dribble (which helped me
increase my visibility). As I was a beginner at this, everyone's
feedback helped me improve a lot.
UX CHALLENGES 16
Mistakes I did when I
started UX Design 🥴
I did not use to take any reference before diving into
Design
But you’ll learn to copy good design and at the end you’ll
find your own style.
I focused on design as it was a UI challenge and didn't
bother about the problem I was solving. In reality UX
Design is more about problem solving.
Was not confident in my skills.
