If you want to become really good at UX Design, you don't start with learning first, you start with unlearning. Why do I use the word unlearning?See, all of us are constantly exposed to a lot of content on how UX design works. There's nothing wrong with referring to multiple sources, but over time, we build misconceptions because we don't have our foundational perspectives properly in place.We assume certain things about UX design, how companies build products, and how the world operates. These assumptions are not necessarily wrong, but as a mentor, my responsibility is to guide you in identifying and unlearning these faulty foundations to become a better designer.Unlearning requires conscious effort and an open mind. From a young age, we've learned through a process of trial and error, constantly correcting ourselves. This natural inclination to unlearn is something we encourage in our program.We see mistakes as opportunities rather than setbacks. Embrace your mistakes, discuss them openly, and be willing to perceive things from multiple perspectives. This approach not only helps in honing your UX design skills but also fosters a happy and innovative learning environment.
