My journey with the Interaction Design Foundation​

Hello, for those who don’t know me: I’m Mel, a Digital Product Designer living in the vibrant city of London. My journey in the world of design has been a whirlwind adventure that began in a completely different field – business. Two years ago, I made the life-changing decision to move from Argentina to London in pursuit of my dreams. Little did I know that the Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF) would become an integral part of my journey, guiding me towards new horizons in the realm of design.

Why I joined Interaction Design Foundation

My transition from the business world to design was fueled by a burning curiosity and a desire to create meaningful digital experiences. Three years ago, I took my first step into the UX/UI universe, and it was nothing short of a revelation. I was captivated by the power of design to shape user interactions and decided to pursue it wholeheartedly.

When I arrived in London, I was determined to further my design education and skills. That’s when I discovered the IxDF. Its promise of top-quality online UX courses at accessible prices immediately caught my attention. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to bridge the gap between my business background and my newfound passion for design.

The learning experience

My experience with the IxDF has been an incredible journey of growth and self-discovery. I dove headfirst into their extensive library of courses and webinars, covering a wide spectrum of design topics. Whether it was mastering interaction design principles or staying up-to-date with the latest UX trends, the IxDF had it all. Each course was a doorway to new knowledge and perspectives.

In the fast-paced world of technology, continuous learning is not just an option; it’s a necessity. The IxDF recognized this, and it’s one of the reasons I’ve been an avid participant in their webinars. These sessions not only expanded my knowledge but also connected me with industry experts and thought leaders. They emphasized the importance of staying informed and adapting to the ever-evolving landscape of design and technology.

The impact on my Career

My journey with the IxDF has had a profound impact on my career. After just a year of working in a prominent London-based company, I was honored with a promotion that elevated me to a leadership role, where I now lead a team of talented designers. The knowledge and skills I acquired through the IxDF have been instrumental in my professional growth.

Moreover, the IxDF’s emphasis on community and networking has opened doors I never thought possible. London’s design scene can be daunting, but through the IxDF, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with wonderful mentors and collaborators who have enriched my journey.
