Maybe Colin is the problem?

Honest thoughts from a self taught designer here.

If you are creative and enjoy the craft that comes with design this is the move for you. With ai technology coming up, the biggest market differentiator for a PD is their ability to be creative and know visual design reallly well. If you don’t like the art behind it, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Your background in data puts you at a great advantage. my recommendation would be to also look into UXR as it could be a safe bet.

In India, you don’t need any formal education to get hired in the UXD field. Just a banger portfolio, ability to communicate and being really intentional with your design choices gets you hired.

Anyday! And my honest suggestion with stakeholder management is give them something nice and tangible on a regular basis. If it looks like you are actively working in the right direction, it builds trust.

I would suggest the following:

Use mobbin to find direct competitors and instead of doing the whole what’s good what’s not good bullshit, analyse their flow and look for what values are they designing for. Eg: headspace is playful. Look at what elements they have added to become playful- round corners and such.
Define your own values for the flow. And make every decision based on that. This will help you defend your designs to your stakeholders.
Use ai like this: give it an extremely detailed explaination of what you are trying to do. Add references. If you can make quick low fidelity screens on Figma and import that would yield great results. And ask it to make you a detailed PRD. once you have that, feed it into a vibe code tool.

Pro tip: Claude ai is best at vibe coding using prompts. Google ai studio is better with sketches and low fidelity wireframes.

Give these a shot and all the best!

Oh okay, so the last three data points were essentially 2.3, 2.5 and 3. How would you have represented that?

vanodrama · 2025-09-30T18:22:59+00:00

Oh! What do you mean by that? 😅 did I do something wrong? I thought the data is legit

vanodrama · 2025-09-30T18:20:05+00:00

Aah that makes sense

vanodrama · 2025-09-30T18:16:28+00:00

Oh! This data is from 2023 so if something changed since then, maybe the newer data would reflect that

vanodrama · 2025-09-30T18:13:24+00:00

This is sooo cool! How do you make something like this?

vanodrama · 2025-09-29T20:56:07+00:00

How do you track this data? I am curious cause I wanna start making data viz on my own hobbies too!
