"Explaining grammar rules to 30 kids taught me to break down complexity. That skill was 80% of UX design. The tools were just the other 20%."
"I spent 6 months on fundamentals, then landed a design role at a EdTech startup. They valued my teaching insight on how students actually use software."
"My first portfolio had three strong projects with real user testing. The hiring manager said my research documentation was better than candidates from paid bootcamps."
I went through my own career transition. The doubt. The imposter syndrome. The "is it too late for me?"
The one thing I needed was a room full of people going through the same thing. Not mentors. Not influencers. Just real people, mid-transition, willing to talk honestly.
That room didn't exist. So I built it.
