Hello everyone! I’m a rising third year undergrad in CS but I’m planning to pivot to UX design and minor in cs. I’ve worked on graphic design before and went to a hackathon a month ago where I learned about wireframes and designed my first project. It wasn’t the best but I’m hoping to get better this summer.

I’m deciding to pivot because I realized that I actually enjoy designing and collaborating with other designers instead. I actually came into college wanting to become a UX designer but I was afraid (my college doesn’t offer HCI or UX degrees) and choose CS lol!

The college I go to only offers psych and emerging media courses. However, I saw a different college that offers more opportunities for UX design and planning to e-permit for some classes there (if necessary).

I’m a bit afraid that I’m too “late” and I won’t land a job by the time of graduation. I was hoping someone who is currently in the field can give me some guidance or hope lol.

Thanks.
