@francium @UrbanOutfitters This happened to me! I didn't proceed with the entire interview since it seemed like a scam, although not 100% sure.

So glad I came across @Techqueria! I love having the opportunity to meet other amazing Latin@s in tech. Be sure to check out their UX Cafecitos every Friday and their Slack community, both offer great resources!

@WeirdoWizard Yes she’s awesome!

If you're a UX design newbie like me, then I recommend you follow @femkesvs and watch her YouTube videos. I've learned so much! Especially how to work with developers and organize my files on Figma!

Looking ahead, my blog will focus on freelance work, making a transition as a social media consultant to UX/UI design, and illustration work. What other topics should I cover? Send me your suggestions!

[Angela Velarde @angelavelarde_]

Officially sharing my first blog post on how I set up my storefront, Mexica Empire, with @society6! Really excited to share what I've learned so far and hope to encourage others to share their artwork. https://t.co/Hu6XdgSpQQ

I finally gave in and started watching Emily in Paris. So naturally now I want to move to Paris 🙃

Currently reading this book and this quote really stood out to me: “If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.” Really makes you question how some companies operate.

Overall, this is a great beginner book for anyone who wants to learn more about tech & design.

@femkesvs Hi! I'm not sure if you covered this topic already, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on hackathons. Do you like them? Which ones do you recommend trying out for junior designers? Anything you should do before, during, and after you join them?

[Angela Velarde @angelavelarde_]

@_blaflores Go little rockstar 🥳✨

You can find them on giphy and when you search “mexica empire” on IG and FB stories ✨ https://t.co/WaAVAzi567

Creating giphy stickers gives me a headache, but once I see the final product it’s all worth it 🤩
