no but good luck 👍

im currently studying mech e, id love to do a product design internship

i do a lot of graphic design in my free time and was thinking about minoring in design to do ui/ux

i want to work on some web design stuff this summer, starting to plan out a project

really hoping one of my cs friends creates a startup so i can do ux for them lol

are you working on anything rn?

Yea doing a UX internship right now I'm studying human computer interaction

Tbh my portfolio was ass but I submitted like 100-150 applications got 8 final interviews and 1 offer

Currently sitting in a meeting rn

What grade u in

yea applying to internships is mind numbing but also so stressful lmao

u enjoying the job?

i just finished my sophomore year

Yeah it's corpo so it's hella chill

My mentor was like "yeah we're expecting you to set up your first usability study in like.. a month"

And I said a MONTH? For a f***ing USABILITY TEST?

I set one up the first week

These dudes just get paid to do nothing I swear to god

Nice dude you have a lot of time to pivot what you want to do

Just join a bunch of design related clubs and put in on your resume and make a portfolio and you should be good

Or do hackathons and join as a ux designer

Or just make your own projects in the meantime. Problem is it's kind of weird to put projects on ur resume.

Also interns.design is a super nice website to find internships

Yo dude you are a lifesaver for that last site link, I’ve been looking forever for something like that, felt like so many internships were unpaid, it’s so frustrating

Yeah I use that website and googles job indexer.

Honestly I don't see many unpaid jobs unless it's a startup and ur on angellist

Just put the design buddies discord in the main post. Check it out.

such a good resource

Nice bruh what's it abt

This is a pretty cool site that interviews designers:
loversmagazine.com

I have a lot of resources to share on this front, but don't really know where to begin.

Decent site for an intro to everything: degreeless.design

cool, definitely some great stuff in here

especially love the lawsofux.com within the degreelessdesign website one cause they link articles

but at the same time i feel like design is so aestheticized and all the articles and s*** just talk about effectively nothing

Yeah, I get there. Too much focus on design trends than the overall process imo. Would be interested in seeing how people work

Yea. theres definetely some cool articles / case studies. Sometimes its just hard to read through them :/ Long as f***.

You got any favorite design agencies or anything like that

You work in the industry?

graphic design is my passion

Yeah, agreed.

Not really, I just follow some cool designers.

Examples:
brianlovin.com
nelson.co
rsms.me

I don't work in the industry, but interested in getting into it possibly

Thread reminded me that I need to finish the app I'm working on now

For anyone interested and if you have the money and time, there are a few bootcamps/immersions out there you can enroll into to get an in-depth look at the field and what the job entails.

all 3 of these designers have similar websites, all current trends too, very clean
