When starting a new project, research is key to your success.

Glad I’m not the only one that feels this way, @instagram lol😣

I like @instagram’s new immersive feed but I don’t like watching reels in the same place and especially for it to take up the whole screen. (Something about the stories on top brings me comfort)

@instagram consider this free user research 😂

My fur baby of 16 years passed this morning. From middle school to my late twenties she was with me, loving me and talking to me everyday.

@ishverduzco Thanks for sharing this! My background is pretty similar to yours & it’s an entire struggle not being able to break into tech and seeing the constant worry on my immigrant parents who haven’t seen me “lograda” yet. But this came at the perfect time :) time to hustle harder. 🫡

@LinkedIn moral of the story:

keep on trying.

even when the odds look slim,

if you are creative, driven, and passionate about what you do, opportunities will open up.

just gotta believe in your vision/mission and be willing to unconventional at times

What other skills should I learn and implement into these projects? 🧐

[˗ˏˋ Stephanie "Efy" Santana ˊˎ˗ @efyux]

I know the best way the get experience is by designing but now I have a total of 3 freelance projects and I’m getting nervous 🙂🙂🙂

[˗ˏˋ Stephanie "Efy" Santana ˊˎ˗ @efyux]

Things I’ve gained confidence in through these projects:
-autolayout
-actually using grids
-creating components/variables
