You may work on:

Thinking About Moving From Graphic Design Into UX/UI?

Visual design skills can provide a useful foundation for a career in UX/UI design. Understanding typography, layout, composition and digital interfaces can help when learning to design more complete product experiences.

For graphic designers interested in making that transition, the next step often involves developing skills in user research, interaction design, usability testing and product thinking.

Designlab's UX Academy offers a structured learning path covering UX/UI fundamentals, practical projects, portfolio development and mentorship.

It's designed for people preparing to enter UX design or transition from another creative discipline.
