Hello, my name is Comfort. A skill I learned recently is UI/UX design. This simply means user interface and user experience design. UI design is the visual interpretation of icons, diagrams, and the features that a user sees when they sign in to a platform. UX design, on the other hand, refers to the overall user experience that someone has while using the application, including how they feel and interact with the platform during any activity. I learned this skill during COVID-19 when my school was on strike. We had to go home, and I found myself with a lot of free time. I was looking for things to do to keep myself busy. I reached out to my friends and shared how I was feeling less occupied and how I wanted to venture into a new learning experience. My friend, Jachi Kehi, recommended that I learn graphic design. I tried graphic design, but it didn't provide the satisfaction I was looking for, so I switched to user experience design. It took me two and a half years of constant practice to master the skills I needed to learn. I am still learning because learning is a process. It's like a marathon; it's not something you just do and then stop. It's a continuous journey. I am still learning on the job. I am proud of this skill because it has given me the financial capability to do what I want, to take care of myself, to meet my needs, to pay my house rent, and to treat myself better. It has also provided me with job satisfaction and job security. I don't have to worry about being out of a job next month. I am very satisfied and confident that as the next month rolls over, I have something to fall back on. I have a means to survive.

Hello, my name is Comfort. A skill I learned recently is UI UX design. This simply means user interface and user experience design. UI design is simply the design, the visual interpretation of icons, diagrams, the features that a user sees when a user signs in on a platform. Now, why UX design is the experience, the general user experience that a user or someone that is using the application, the experience the person gets to feel, to interact with when the person wants to do any activity or using the platform. Now this code I learned since during the COVID-19, during the COVID-19, my school we were on strike. So we had to go home for strike. I went home, I was less busy, I had a lot of time in my hands. On my hands, I was working out for things to do, things to get myself busy with. So I tried reaching out to my friends, I talked to them about how less busy I was at that point and how I would like to venture into a new learning scale and experience. And my friend, Jachi Kehi, recommended that I learned the graphic design. I tried graphic design, but it didn’t give me what I wanted, the satisfaction that I wanted. So I switched to user experience design. It took me two and a half years of constant practice to master the skills that I needed to learn. I am still learning because learning is a progress. It’s like a marathon. It’s not something that you just do and then you grab it and you stop. It’s a continuous process. I am still learning on the work. I’m still learning of the job. I’m proud of this skill because it has given me the financial capability to do what I want to do, to take care of myself, to meet my needs, to pay my house rent, to take myself out and treat myself better. It has also given me job satisfaction and job security. I don’t have to be scared of if I’ll be out of job by the next month or if I’ll be, I’m very satisfied and I’m very confident that even as the next month rolls over, I have something to fall back on.
