About This Video

In this video, I’m reflecting on my first full year as a UX design YouTuber and content creator. I walk through the biggest milestones that surprised me the most—like my “how I got my first UX design job” video going semi-viral because I posted it on LinkedIn (yeah… LinkedIn of all places), hitting YouTube monetization, and even running mentorship sessions for aspiring UX designers. I also share some of my most memorable uploads, including my first “week in the life of a UX designer,” because I wanted to show what a realistic day-to-day actually looks like—especially if you’re trying to figure out whether UX is the right career for you. I also get honest about what I learned the hard way: passion can lead to real opportunities (networking, even job offers), I’m not a “natural” YouTuber yet, and you really can’t rush the process. As 2022 approaches, I talk about my goals—collabing with other UX YouTubers, experimenting with more lifestyle/vlog content, being more authentic (and scripting less), and landing my first paid sponsorship. I end with practical advice for new creators: get clear on your channel’s goals, prioritize quantity over perfection early on, and stop overthinking—just upload and learn through the reps.
