Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

On January 3rd, 2017, I wrote on Instagram;

My New Years resolution this year is to help make getting into UX and Design more accessible and easier than ever before. So, tell me one thing you want to work on this year or one thing that you’d like me to post more about that would help you reach your design goals

One year on, and I’m reflecting on how I’ve performed! Looking at the growth of my catalogue of UX-focused articles, videos and social media posts, I feel pretty good that I’ve gone some way to reach my goal of making learning UX more approachable.
