I Just Got My First Design Gig! by missimelda01(f): 3:13pm On Nov 24, 2021
I started learning UI/UX design in March 2021, I created a thread around that period to show my first design.

It’s not been an easy journey because most companies will only hire people with experience. I got into an internship and kept learning on my own, now I’m so proud to announce that I got my first gig cheesy

I just earned my first six figures in UI/UX design and I’m so excited...still searching for a full time role but this is worth celebrating.
I hope this encourages someone out there to keep pushing.

Start sleeping less too
