Embarking on a Journey: From UI/UX Design to Front End Development – My Tech Story

Hello guys! It's my very first time here in this community, and I am sure this is a good place for me as a beginner web developer and also a UI/UX designer. I would have loved to share some codes and some designs that I have made, but I decided to share some insights before doing that. Today will just be more about sharing some of my ideas and some shortcomings I've had during my periods in the tech industry.

While I was younger, I heard about programming and coding, but due to some shortcomings I wish I had, I couldn't run any codes or learn to code because there wasn't much motivation for me. Those people I had around me then that I couldn't learn to code because of the stress that it has, but I was never discouraged; I was going and still having it in the back of my mind that when I am able to do coding and learn, I will surely do it.

The first step I started with was UI/UX design, which took me about a year to learn at some points with the use of Figma and other tools. After working as a UI/UX designer for some time, I decided to double my skill set and move to front end development.

Though it has never been an easy task because tech generally requires dedication, patience and time, if any of these things are not met, this will be a big issue. My experience learning front end is a bit difficult, but I do not see it as something difficult because it's what I love to do and derive pleasure from. Whatever we do as humans, our determination also matters because it will continue to push us on the right path to success.

In my next post, I will share some of the projects that I have created for some that are just starting up so that we can learn from them and also grow together because everyone has limitations in their knowledge. Learning is good and sweet when you have the right tools, and these tools also include meeting the right people. We keep growing, and we keep learning together.
