Back in December 2019, I was admitted to both the Data Analytics and UI/UX Design programs at Springboard.
I enjoyed the second “entry exam” more (fonts, colors, and a mini-redesign based on a user interview). But at the last minute, I chose Data Analytics on the understanding that its curriculum had had longer to mature.
It is now April 2021, and two local B Corporations whose missions I love are hiring UX designers. Both roles call for substantial experience.
How much should I regret not taking the UX/UI training path?

This portfolio demonstrates a combined strength and weakness of my career transition choices so far: learning too many new skills and tools at once, while engaging worthwhile projects on interesting topics in several new fields.
The advantage of these patterns is that I have gotten involved with a wonderful tapestry of learning communities, teammates, and critique buddies through shared or similar purpose.


The disadvantage is that I have yet to progress beyond advanced beginner or early intermediate for most of my new tools and skills.
The following collection introduces my design process and work interests through 3 team projects and 2 solo creations drafted for community challenges.
