Lo importante es comenzar a practicar, para ello puedes iniciar con un proyecto personal que te permita poner en acción las diferentes metodologías y herramientas, lo importante de este ejercicio es crear un portafolio donde muestres todo un ciclo desde el empatizar hasta el prototipar, hasta podrías crear un producto exitoso sin darte cuenta jeje, con al menos 3 ejemplos de este ejercicio podrías argumentar tus conocimientos y conectar con alguna empresa, mucha suerte

Identificaría y buscaría mantener presente el resultado que espero obtener con mi dise?o, luego comenzaría a bocetar y probar las ideas que creo que me pueden llevar a mi objetivo, me serviría de información en la internet para tomar inspiración o ideas de cómo lograr mis dise?os lo más fielmente posible a lo que imagino, en el proceso se van desarrollando ideas y vislumbrando nuevas formas.

2 Build a portfolio

A portfolio is a crucial asset for any UED professional, as it showcases your work, skills, and process to potential employers, clients, or collaborators. A portfolio should include a variety of projects that demonstrate your UED competencies, such as user research, wireframes, mockups, prototypes, user testing, and design documentation. You can use online tools such as Behance, Dribbble, or PortfolioBox to create and share your portfolio. You can also work on real or hypothetical projects for yourself, your friends, your community, or non-profit organizations to build your portfolio.

Un portafolio sirve para mostrar nuestras habilidades y capacidades, pero también para identificar el camino que queremos seguir, la calidad que queremos adquirir y las técnicas que queremos explorar para hacer de ese portafolio algo satisfactorio a nosotros mismos y que quien lo acceda sepa y conecte inmediatamente con la dedicación y calidad que podemos ofrecer.
