🌶️ Unpopular opinion: User personas and user research are overrated.
Designers should trust their instincts and intuition more. They know what’s best for the users, even if the users don’t.

I am a UI UX designer and you?
If you’re attending #CareerFest today, try and network and make meaningful connections.
Events like this are more about networking and having access to information than “learning about tech stacks.”
Tech is not about sitting in one corner of your room coding for 20 hours.
My first $5,500 Sales Funnel gig was a recommendation by a total stranger that I met at the GBG, Lagos
Ezekiel recommended me for a role at Zone tech park, 3 weeks after meeting at #kbtc
Met my co-founders @itzareous, @kenkarmah through events!
Do what you like with this info
If you will apply for internship as a designer, you must have the agency and self-directed learning of a junior designer, if you will apply as a junior designer you must have the critical thinking and independence of a mid level designer. If you are applying as a mid level designer you must have profound product insight and business understanding that matches a senior designer and if you are applying as a senior designer, you must have vast experience coupled with ability to deconstruct complexity and vagueness into coherence and (design) direction.
Whatever you are applying for, be one step ahead, at least in Nigeria. If you say you have ability to learn on the job, you will hear “this is not a university”😂.
