# My Journey Into Product Design(UI/UX)

Prior to my time at **Univelcity**, I was just another fresh graduate who majored in Computer Science with skill in building WordPress websites.

After some time as a WordPress developer, I realized I don't want to be a traditional WordPress developer. I wanted to get into a different tech niche, and I really like the field of UI/UX, especially with the number of opportunities that are out there for UI/UX designers.

When I was looking for a program to take my career to the next level during my NYSC, I found the program at Univelcity and it ticked all the right boxes for me - it's accelerated, it's in a field that I really like, and gives me the skills that I need for the current trend in the market; it satisfied everything I was looking for.

What I really like about this program is that you'll get more hands-on experience and work on different company's design projects (of course, under the tutelage of Kola Olagoke   [@kola_olagoke](https://twitter.com/kola_olagoke)  ). so when you go into the industry you won't be lost because you already know how to handle these things.

More so, everyone in the program has different backgrounds; which is terrific, because you'll get to see and hear different perspectives, but there is also a sense of community as everyone is willing to help each other grow.

The 3-month intensive Product Design class at Univelcity offered me the perfect balance of small class sizes and accelerated learning just the way I liked it. Now, having been immersed in the program and upon my successful graduation from Univelcity, I've gained the technical expertise and practical experience that I know I will be able to apply when entering back into the workforce.

I strongly recommend anyone interested in learning UI/UX to consider joining a tech Bootcamp like  [Univelcity](https://univelcity.com).
