My Path into Tech: UI/UX

Four people. Four journeys to UI/UX. Come learn how you can break into the space and why the UI/UX industry needs you. Just as you are.

About this event
Girls in Tech Nashville brings you the My Path into Tech series to demystify roles in tech. In this panel discussion, we bring you industry experts in UI/UX to showcase the various paths they took to get into a UI/UX role. We will uncover what the day-in-the-life of a designer looks like, examine current problems, and learn about what it's like working for companies like Smile Direct Club, IBM, Ingenious.Build, and meQuilibrium.
