PSYCHOLOGY TO UX
Aga Bialek
What’s your career background?
I have a background in psychology, healthcare and customer service.
What interested you about UX?
I always had a desire to connect with people, curious about their perception, motivation and emotions. As clinical psychology and healthcare were rewarding, yet emotionally draining, I wanted to explore other options using my education and experience. UX is a perfect blend of psychology, technology and design, apart from the research part (psychology) I got a chance to get familiar with technology and design, which is crucial nowadays.
What did you like about Valentin as being your UX mentor?
Valentin was my third mentor during my Bootcamp and from the very beginning, he had a clear goal of how to help and lead not only my side project but also, my portfolio and further career steps. He would always find time, even though he was extremely busy with his job and family.
Did Valentin help you to get a UX role?
Would you recommend Valentin as a mentor to others?
I would absolutely recommend Valentin for a mentor to anyone. His energy and positive approach were always very motivating to do more and never give up.
