Hello Again...

I’m Eli, a recent graduate of General Assembly’s UX/UI bootcamp. I’ve always been drawn to technology, and growing up in London I was surrounded by exciting new developments that sparked my curiosity. That exposure made me realise how much I enjoy exploring how people interact with technology, and it’s what led me to pursue a career in the tech and design industry.

My Story

Before transitioning into the field of UX/UI design, I worked in the trades industry, finding joy in the creative aspect of my work and the collaborative nature of teamwork. However, I soon realized that with the rapid evolution of technology, I was drawn towards a career path that would be less physically demanding and offer me the opportunity to challenge myself in new ways.

​

The catalyst for my transition came when my cousin enrolled in General Assembly's UX/UI design immersive course in 2021. Hearing about his positive experiences and seeing the excitement in his eyes inspired me to take the leap into UX/UI design. Stepping out of my comfort zone was a new experience for me, but I saw it as a chance for personal growth and self-discovery.

​

Looking back, I can confidently say that venturing into UX/UI design was one of the best risks I've ever taken. Although it was a departure from my previous career path, I approached the course with determination and commitment, giving it my all. I firmly believe in giving 100% effort in everything you do, even if it's something you may not initially want to pursue. This mindset ensured that I had no regrets and allowed me to fully embrace the opportunities that came my way during the course.
