Please help me pay for a bootcamp
Donation protected
Hi friends and family,
I’ve been interested in UX/UI design for a few years now, but never thought I had what it takes to be a designer. I’m finally over this fear and want to complete a bootcamp to learn the skills to get a job in the UX/UI design sphere.
Why UX/UI design? I’m very creative and also tech savvy two skills which are essential to UX/UI design. Web design has interested me since middle school when I made a website in HTML about garden gnomes. UX/UI design is the next step up from web design and uses a lot of similar skills. I've completed a free trial course in UX/UI design and I love it!
What is UX/UI design? Have you ever used an app or been to a website that was a pain to use or the color scheme was off putting? That’s bad UX/UI design. It’s basically how all apps and websites look and how to design these things with ease of use in mind.
Why now? I finally have the time and the motivation to complete a bootcamp. Unfortunately what I lack is funds.
Seems sketchy Keely are you sure?
I understand! Bootcamp are very new concept and came around because there is a huge need for employees in tech. CNN Money predicts the demand for UX designers to grow by 13% from 2017-2027. LinkedIn even ranked UX design as one of the top 5 in demand skills as of 2020 while Glassdoor added it to their list of best 50 jobs to have in 2022.
Please help, I know I'm asking for a lot so whatever you can give will help!
