beautiful thread, thank you for writing this!

best of 2024
- got into BAFTA
- gave 3 talks and panelled at the game ux summit
- started a podcast (lol)
- went to GDC for the first time
- finally wrote down all the job app advice i've been giving to people trying to pivot in & it's actually helping people 🥲

maybe a ko-fi? less commitment, super casual

what this currently covers:
- resume
- personal projects
- making a portfolio (& how to write up a case study)
- cover letter
- networking basics

what i'm planning to add:
- mentorship
- how to make design interview slides
- how to be good at a design interview
- other stuff i can't think of rn

Start here | ava's guide to a ux design career

a lot of people have reached out to ask about how to get into design / games

i finally wrote up a super comprehensive (free!) guide on pivoting into ux & optimising your application based on my own experiences

it's still kind of a WIP but i'd love to get your thoughts :)

i just want to watch one tiktok without downloading the app man

will be helping review portfolios and resumes here, come join :)

felt immensely saddened when i watched wicked and the poor lighting stole the majority of the scenes

idk if this counts as me being an elitist snob but i always get the ick whenever people (especially designers) describe a design as "clean"
