Extraordinary blog for beginners to know the important tips in UIUX design. Especially i liked the second tip about focus in UIUX. It contains a really beneficial suggestion for the beginner in UIUX design.

Great tips! I think #4 is the hardest—there are no shortcuts to developing design skills. :)

Nice list of tips, Arby! Is there a specific course or guide that is your #1 recommendation to others who are trying to break into UI/UX design? I think getting feedback early is really important. It is also the hardest to do, but the benefits will be huge!

Thank you so much Ana . I don't have a specific course exactly, there are so many amazing resources out there . But one that really stood out for me, is a book I read titled "100 things every designer needs to know about people" by Susan Weinschenk . It covers the psychology of design. Its a great resource for anyone who is just starting UI/UX design .

[Abisola Jegede](https://hashnode.com/@Arby) I haven't read that book, but I will definitely check it out. Thank you!
