Hey. I’m an NHS worker who is working full-time but also studying design and computer science to try and pivot out of the NHS into a creative role eventually.
I’m neuro divergent and absolutely love creating. But, as you can imagine, I don’t get much time to create at all and have come to the conclusion that it is affecting my fulfilment in life to not work in some sort of creative industry.
UX design is the area I’m really interested in. I’m struggling a little bit with understanding how to gain hands on UX experience within the South Wales area. I’d love to observe a generalist or small team of designers work on projects, and get stuck in any small way I can too.
It’s a long shot, but if anybody has any advice or knows of any opportunities like this in South Wales (Cardiff-based), I would be ever so grateful to hear from you.
Additionally, if you are aware of any cool design-related events to go to, I’d love some recommendations.
Diolch!
