Product Designers are in demand right now.

But ever wondered what most entry-level UI/UX Design jobs have in common? They all require you to have a degree and/or a few years of experience already. But we know for a fact that you don’t need a degree or prior work experience to break into Product Design.

Find out how you can do that with our panel of Product Designers as they share their personal experiences & insights. You’ll get to understand what a career in Product Design or UI/UX Design looks like, and the best ways to break into a role in this field — even if you have 0 prior experience, or an ‘irrelevant’ background. Plus, you’ll learn how to start building the creative, analytical, technical and social muscles that you’ll need to succeed in this role. Because contrary to what others might say, you’re never too old or too late to start designing digital products for a living.

In conjunction with the launch of TalentTribe’s Career Track for Product Design, hear from industry professionals and deep-dive into everything you’d want to know about Product Design as a career path.
