You're ready to make a shift, but how? Join a webinar from Ideate Labs LLC for advice on interviews, portfolios, and finding the perfect job. Ideate Labs provides professionals with free resources and webinars, as well as semester long courses, to prepare them for a career in UI UX design.
Khrys and Samaya, the founders of Ideate Labs, pivoted into their UI UX jobs 5 years ago. They met at a small startup, working as marketing associates.

Khrys and Samaya have over 5 years of UI UX experience working at startups, nonprofits, agencies and corporations.

In this talk, they will share their secrets around landing a UI UX job:
