I’ve been listening to this podcast for quite a long time and am always happy to gain insights into the creative landscape in Germany. In this episode, Patricia Reiners describes her career as a UX designer. She initially studied biotechnology and graphic design and then worked in an advertising agency. There, however, she realized that graphic design wasn’t really right for her and quickly became frustrated.
I also felt this frustration myself in my previous agency life, which is why I want to focus more on UX design.
In her podcast, Patricia not only explains what exactly distinguishes UX design from UI design, but also explains how she came to her freelance career over several stages. As an Adobe-supported creative, she can now look back on many different awards. She works with Skillshare and Domestica, has appeared at the Forward Festival. She has a YouTube channel, her own podcast and an Instagram page where she shows young UX designers how to gain a foothold in the industry.
This episode was pretty inspiring to me and showed once again that its not necessary to follow a straight path to be successful in the field of design.
