If you’re considering becoming a UX designer, congratulations! You’ve stumbled upon a career path that will fulfill and reward you. Not only can you make a positive impact on the world through great user experience, you can also set your career on a trajectory to new heights.

However, it can be challenging and confusing to figure out how to start changing your career to UX design. A simple web search to this effect will return hundreds of millions of results, including countless articles and resources, each one claiming to have the best advice for budding UX designers. As the saying goes, well begun is half done. So if you’re changing your career to UX, it’s important to choose the most appropriate strategies for your goals.

To help you start strong, we’ve partnered with Cory Lebson, author of The UX Careers Handbook and experienced UX consultant. In this Master Class webinar, you’ll learn:

  • Frameworks for understanding UX skills and jobs
  • How to choose what kind of UX professional to be—a consultant or in-house designer, generalist or specialist, freelancer or full-time employee
  • Which fields or job roles do people commonly move to UX from
  • What kind of jobs to target while making a move
  • Whether a specific academic field of study or specific UX degree matters
  • Whether you can reframe what you do now as UX
  • How to build your knowledge resume, portfolio and experience before you have a UX job
  • The critical value of storytelling as a UX professional and as a job search framework
  • How to reframe your online brand and online presence as a UX professional
  • Where to meet and network with UX professionals
  • The value of volunteering your time for UX causes

Cory has—literally—written the handbook on switching your career to UX. Besides his own extensive experience in the field, Cory has helped aspiring UX designers to begin their dream careers for years. With his advice, no matter where you are on your journey in UX design, you can improve your prospects and set yourself up for success.

Even if you cannot attend the webinar live, register to get access to a recording that you can watch at your convenience!

No problem at all—as long as you make sure to register for it, you’ll receive a recording link a few hours after the broadcast ends. This way, you can catch up on everything that happens in the live session. But, do be sure to register, as the recording is only sent to registered attendees!
I just signed up for a Master Class webinar—what's next?

I signed up for a Master Class webinar which aired recently, but I cannot find the recording in my email inbox. What can I do?
The email with the recording is sent automatically to all registrants. However, because it contains links, it might get blocked by your spam filters.

I missed registering for some of the Master Class webinars hosted in previous months. How can I get access to them now?
Some of our past Master Classes are available on-demand at https://www.interaction-design.org/master-classes We’re constantly working to make recent Master Classes available on demand, so you can keep checking this page for new additions!
I’m a member, but I cannot see all the Master Classes I purchased on my profile. How can I find the ones that are missing?
Many of the past Master Classes have been edited and uploaded to our platform so that our members can view them conveniently in one place.

After each Master Class broadcast, our video editors painstakingly edit, improve and enhance the quality of these recordings to give you a better experience—but this process takes time, and that’s why there’s sometimes a delay in making them available within your profile.

Until recent Master Class recordings appear in your profile, you can always playback any of the Master Classes you’ve purchased using the Zoom recording links you received after the broadcast. Can’t find these recording links? Then please email mads.soegaard@interaction-design.org for assistance.
