how I landed ux + product design interviews at top tech companies | tips + advice

hi there ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ

in this video, I talked about how I went from a biology major in 2020, to studying interaction design in 2021, and give some insights on some of the things I focused on during that time that helped me land ux + product design interviews at major tech companies last fall.

the transition from one field to another can be daunting, but I hope that this video can inspire others to make the switch if they're currently rethinking their career path.
