I’m thinking about switching to a career in UX but don’t have a design background.
Has anyone here made a similar transition? What helped you break into UX, and what should beginners focus on first? I’d really appreciate your advice and experiences!
Switching to UX without a design background is definitely possible. Start by learning the basics of user research, design thinking, wireframing, and tools like Figma. Building small projects, creating a portfolio, and studying real-world case studies helped many beginners understand the process and showcase their skills. The key is consistent practice and learning how users think.
