A day in the life of a UX Designer NOT in San Francisco (but still forreal)

Hello, I’m Alexa! Maybe you know me, I’m a designer and I live and work in San Francisco, etc, etc… It’s been great working here and I know very well that there are LOTS of UX Design jobs in the Bay Area but more importantly, you do not need to move to San Francisco to become a Product Designer and more people should know that.

This video is about showcasing the stories of three Product Designers who work outside of the San Francisco Bay area to highlight these awesome career opportunities.

Meet Maddy Beard, Natalie Weilandt, and Brianna Garcia and learn about their roles in UX Design but yah know, not in San Francisco.
