To be sincere I haven’t been happy from morning till night once since I was 19, life isn’t so friendly to me and my mom

Hang in there bro, it'd surely get better with time.

shantti:
Pls what is Figma
Can a design be done in Figma while the app functionality be implemented in any programming language like java or python

Designs are normally done with apps like Figma, XD and sketch. It gives a feel of how the product looks like before the development commences.
It is always advisable to design first before development and that's where UI/UX designers come in.

It's just like architects and builders. UI/UX designers are the architects while developers are the builders. A builder builds what an architect draws, similarly a developer develops what a designer designed.

shantti:
What did u use in designing this

Everything was designed in Figma.

MOUAU

Is the position still open?

I think I know someone that could do this, however he is not on Nairaland but I'd reach out to him to see if he'd be interested.

Congrats bro. God bless your family.

Nice one OP.

Father's blessings are supreme

kiddkash:
Ok. Let me make an estimated budget cost. Then I will get back to you.

Okay

kiddkash:
Sorry I don't have access to that email account anymore. I don't know what the problem is with it. I will initiate contact via WhatsApp

Alright, please send a mail and I would follow you up on WhatsApp.

kiddkash:
The portfolio in your signature, does it belong to you?
Something like that would suffice for what I need. Let me know all that is necessary, financially I mean, So that I can make my budget and contact you before the end of the month or next month

Yes, that's my design Portfolio.
I'd send a DM so we could hop in a quick call and explain everything to you.
Fair enough?

kiddkash:
Pls who here can truly build an app and a create a website

Pls let me know. To see if I can support a nairalander or seek outside support

I can't build an application independently, I am a Product designer but I work with a colleague who is a developer to build useabe applications.

You can DM let's see if we'd work.

Marrk:
Do cyber cafes have stamps ?

Yes, they do. Ask around

Just look around bro.

Back then I spent all my time and resources searching for IT placement yet couldn't secure any.

I had to approach a cyber cafe close to my area and got my log book signed. I defended and had an A.

Studied Computer Engineering though.

qtguru:
We will get on a call later

Okay.

qtguru:
Great profile, you don't get gigs on Upworks ? I have sent it, let's talk later

Thank you very much.
I have been on Upwork for a while but gigs aren't forthcoming. I just get gigs via referrals these days.

qtguru:
Hi pls reach out. I want to recommend you for a project.

Thanks you. I've sent a PM

Mine is mostly via referrals oh, that's why it's good to always grow your network.

Just do the following:

- Start attending tech events
- Post your works across different platforms including WhatsApp status(You don't know who is watching)
- Join communities and also contribute.

I have gotten a gig here on Nairaland though it's just one.

Getting a good workspace increases productivity.

Agreed 💯

Lol. I get this a lot.

After discussing with them regarding the job they'd start ghosting you. It's painful af.

BuyAndSellStuff:
Your WhatsApp number please?

.

medolab90:
Pls How well will you recommend learning UI|UX design ? And how many months does it take to learn at best .

UIUX currently is not what it used to be like years ago. The competition is a lot tougher. But if that's what you have passion for, please go for it.

The learning phase is subjective and it never ends. It took me over six months to be confident in my design skills.

All the best.

Design skills which involve Product | UI | UX designs.
I'm available to take up new projects.

What platform do you guys use to apply for Jobs (Particularly Product Design Jobs)?

I have been applying through LinkedIn for a long while and haven't landed any foreign role, its only Nigerian clients for now.

qtguru:
It's mostly learning a specific platform, try monday.com

Okay thanks

qtguru:
Try other fields too, you'd be surprised what you could branch out into.

Thinking of navigating toward Visual Assistant roles. Don't know how tangible it is and I don't even have any experience in that field.

qtguru:
Upwork works, you just need a niche, do you apply to Webflow jobs, Upwork requires patience and a kick-ass portfolio.

Webflow? Nope
I only apply to UIUX design jobs since I'm more proficient at it. I have apply to a dozen but yet without any success, though I'd keep hunting.

Not giving up anytime soon

tensazangetsu20:
Upwork cause you can look for clients yourself. On fiverr the clients find you but then how do clients find you amongst millions of other freelancers.

Thanks Man. Though I've been hunting for gigs on Upwork for a while now without any success.
I'd keep improving.

I have been hustling both on Upwork and Fiverr for a while now but yet to secure anything tangible. I feel its because I'm trying to combine both.

I want to focus in one, which one is better?
Upwork or Fiverr?

1 -2 years should be okay to start handling projects though.

However, learning never ends.
