Ashley McNeill(She/Her) • UX Designer at Phase2 Technology
If you’re worried about switching careers, remember to never underestimate your soft skills.
I taught middle school and high school English for 2 and a half years.
I would present information to people almost everyday.
I got 14 year olds excited about non-exciting things.
I engaged 17 year olds in classrooms where they expected to be bored.
I inspired 13 year olds to think about complex issues in ways they’d never considered before.
Now, I’m a UX designer and presentations don’t scare me. They’re familiar. They’re my safe space.
Workshops and client kick offs feel like home.
