1 year ago, I started gaining a lot of interest in Product Design (I was a QA back then). So, I began learning as much as I could about this domain because I wanted to shift my career within the same company.
I did courses, daily UI challenges, read articles on Medium, followed designers on Twitter, watched tons of YouTube videos, and worked on side projects so I can create a portfolio worth showing to Sortlist's Head of Product. I could not ask for a switch in Design empty-handed.
In October, I pitched my portfolio to the product and design departments then got some take-home design assignments and I was offered a 2-month trial as a Designer. 🙌 
Fast forward to today, I have successfully completed the trial period and became the newest member of the Product Design team at Sortlist! ❤️
I owe it to @valagafitei for giving me the push to do this career change! 🤝
I am really excited about my new path and hope to solve a lot of user problems and create amazing experiences 🎨
