Advice on how to get into Freelance UX design without any experience

Do I have to have previous experience?

I was recently asked ‘How do you get into UX design without any previous experience?’

Firstly, work out what you enjoy. Are you a logical thinker, are you interested in the psychological aspects of design? My advice is to research where your interests lie and have a look over on Medium and read some articles where other designers have solved problems, have a read of this UX case study for booking.com

UX design involves research into user personas and user goals, planning of user journeys through an app, website or product. It’s the UX designer’s job to meet with clients and customers to enable them to meet their goals in the most efficient and enjoyable way possible.

The opportunities are right at your finger tips and there’s nothing stopping you reaching out and starting a conversation. Watch the video below where I answer some questions with Michael to help him decide if a career in UX design is the right fit for him.
