When one decides to follow their passion, everything else becomes secondary for them. They're focused on what they want to achieve and no hurdle is too big. Such is the story of Shriya Salunkhe. Shriya failed in many subjects in engineering and was clueless about what to do in life until she fell in love with UX.  The amount of work she had put in to learn about UX over the years eventually landed her a job. She is now working as an Associate UX Designer at Precisely.  Shriya talks about how she worked really hard to overcome the challenges she had faced during her journey.  If you have any questions for Shriya, mention them in the comments below.    00:00 - Introduction   01:52 - Design Thinking: How did it change her perspective  04:12 - Transitioning from Engineering with backlogs to Design  08:16 - The first introduction to UX/UI designing   11:40 - Convincing Parents/Friends - Clarity in your thoughts is the key  16:14 - UX designer position from an engineering college.   19:36 - Engineering: Backlogs | Mental Pressure  28:30 - First Job as a UX designer   32:50 - Design feedbacks  41:05 - 2nd Job and Selection Process  47:30 - Hiring process in the industry  49:26 - Things Shriya would've done differently  52:56 - Importance of Formal Design Education   56:52 - Writing my SOP  59:50 - Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences  1:00:03 - Professional Certifications   Host - Sanjay Reddy Instagram Check out our online courses for UCEED, CEED, NID & NIFT
