A f*cking long Journal from a UX designer who became an Indie game dev & artist in 2023

I was a UX consultant who had done it all to achieve my mission. From user research to UI, from business strategy to growth hacks, I had dedicated my all to this career because I felt that this job could fulfill my mission — to create experiences that drive people’s hearts.  Why did I feel this way? I felt fulfilled whenever I saw people interact with my work and feel or do a certain thing. That’s why I became a UX consultant in the first place. But kids, jobs are just jobs. Don’t expect them to meet your perfect life. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my previous job. It was the best tech consulting company in Thailand in terms of culture and work-life balance. Although there were some client projects that were the exception, just like any other job. It’s funny, isn’t it? ‘UX’ is supposed to create a great experience for users (aka people). I had delivered good experiences to users, but I wasn’t skilled enough to get permission from those above to try something more creative and heartfelt in experience design. (Because it’s risky and I need to prove every step of it. Yes, I tried, but man, the developers were so ready to start coding.) <a href="https://medium.com/@kuppy_kp_/a-f-cking-long-journal-from-a-ux-designer-who-became-an-indie-game-dev-artist-in-2023-10345a61bbbb">Click Here</a>
