Cecilia Kim

From pre-med and studio art major to UI/UX designer: completely self-taught and completely free. No bootcamps, no courses, just Google and determination. Here's exactly how I learned design on my own and landed a job right after college. I've compiled every resource that actually helped me learn.

In this video, I'm sharing: 
🌱 How I went from zero design knowledge to getting hired 
🌱 5 different learning methods (pick what works for you) 
🌱 Every free resource I used from articles, videos, podcasts, practice sites 
🌱 The screenshot method that accelerated my learning 
🌱 Why feedback is crucial (even if you're shy) 
🌱 Common mistakes that slow down beginners
