Challenges & Learnings

Challenges & Learnings

Taking my first real-world experience and applying the skills I'd learned from classes and books was challenging. My favorite part was successfully bringing those skills to life in my work with EdVisorly.

What I enjoy the most about UX is its focus on making people’s lives easier, though the challenge often lies in balancing user needs with business goals to create solutions that benefit both.

Emphasizing the value of UX to stakeholders is a must especially when they are focused on immediate results. Sharing studies from NNG helps convey its importance.
