The Journey So Far

To be the best you must be able to handle the worst, I resumed Brave Achievers Incubator program on the 16th of October, 2019. It was all rosy smooth until the first project kicked in and work started.

The first project was to design a mobile app for a church in the UK, my job, or so I thought was to design a Low Fidelity design and then a follow up High Fidelity Design like I always do in my previous life. Long story short I was shocked with details and research I had to make and put together before even starting any design.

Deep research and understanding the project is key in UI/UX design. I had never done personas, customer journey maps, Information architecture etc. for any of my design projects in my past life. Getting to do all this before even starting to design was really a big challenge for me but guess what, I am a Brave Achiever in the Brave Achiever International Foundation incubator program working with the best team and having great supervisors and managers putting me through every step. The knowledge I have gained so far in this program is what I can’t get easily from any other source.

A winner is just a loser who tried one more time, I get many reviews many backlashes on my designs but I keep making corrections till I get the sentence “This is good". I will keep working towards the best in my career. To all reading this, in anything you do ‘Be a game changer. The world is already full of players.’
