Hi Tamara! Could you give us a brief overview of your educational and professional background before enrolling in the CareerFoundry program?

Prior to CareerFoundry I had a BA in Communications, and worked as a video editor. I had no previous design experience!

What inspired you to make a career change into this field?

I wanted to keep up with the times, as the world is more mobile now. I also really like to challenge myself, and I enjoy solving problems.

What did you enjoy most about the course?

I really liked the attention to detail and the resources that were available to me. I also loved speaking to the mentors and tutors that provide practical and applicable advice and support.

Tell us about your current job!

I’m currently self employed as a UX designer.
