You Are Not a Real Designer

The most frequent question I receive from readers who reach out to me is: “How do you break into UX design?” The truth of it is, I never “broke into” UX design. I inched my way in, working on the fringes of design for 5 years in positions only partially devoted to UX projects. I took the scraps in each position working my way forward an inch at a time before I finally got that title.
