Become a creative problem solver in this workshop!

You're ready to make a shift, but how? Join a webinar from Ideate Labs LLC for advice on interviews, portfolios, and finding the perfect job. Ideate Labs provides professionals with free resources and webinars, as well as semester long courses, to prepare them for a career in UI UX design.

Khrys and Samaya, the founders of Ideate Labs, pivoted into their UI UX jobs 5 years ago. They met at a small startup, working as marketing associates. Unfortunately the work culture at the job was not right for them. They learned about UI UX while at their startup job and successfully positioned ourselves as UX designers. Khrys and Samaya have over 5 years of UI UX experience working at startups, nonprofits, agencies and corporations. They mentor startups at Wharton's Venture Labs and their mission is to make digital design accessible to all.

As 2 women, 2 immigrants, working in the U.S., they know how hard it can be to fit into a new role, fit into new work cultures, and ultimately take the lead on projects and initiatives to lead teams to success.

How to find a recruiter that will help in the job search?
What kinds of jobs to look for?
