Nasrien Youness - People are willing to help you. Don't be afraid to ask

Imagine you're sitting in your university lessons with an uncomfortable feeling that you can't ignore anymore. You're realising that what you've spent the last few years studying, the life you planned for yourself, isn't actually what you want for yourself. How do you move on from that? Do you ignore that feeling and keep going or do you try something else.

That's what's happened to today's guest, Nasrien Youness. In the middle of university, she pivoted away from International Development and learned how build a career out of her love for drawing. Now a product designer at Uhubs, Nasrien tells us how she taught herself design skills, built up her portfolio, and her experience as one of the first scholarship recipients to the Love Circular Bootcamp through Muslamic Makers and The Aziz Foundation.

Key Lessons From This Episode

  1. Deepen your learning by putting your lessons into practice (4:00)
  2. Product design is just iteration after iteration. There's no end point. You just keep improving (10:56)
  3. Reach out to people, get involved in the community and make sure that you are building real case studies rather than just conceptual ones and redesigns (16:38)
