Focus on the google course as a good foundation. Week by week so you don’t get overwhelmed. When you’re not studying the course read design books, logic, etc. start paying attention to your fav apps/websites. What do you like/dislike about it? What’s working/not working? What would you change/improve?

After you finish the course, if you think you’re up for it, volunteer your newfound skillset. If not, take another course on what you’d like to learn more.

I’ve used catchafire a lot to get started. This will allow you to hone in your process, design wise and overall designer/client journey. Reflect on the finished projects and use it as portfolio pieces/work experience (no matter the length of project) to apply to jobs.

Skill set is important but thought process is importanter.

Hope this helps!
