“When You are techY introduced me to UX Design I was blown away. I decided to take the chance and commit myself 100% to becoming a UX Designer. Now that I’ve successfully transitioned to tech, a whole new world of possibilities has been opened. Setting goals and embracing the techY mindset that I CAN learn and solve hard things has been the key to my success.”

UX Designer

I get it. You’ve tried to learn UX on your own...

and end up in over-thinking and getting caught up in all the noise of information out there about UX design. You may have even bought a few courses or done a bootcamp, but here you are several months later with no job to show for it. I feel your pain! I used to sit on my couch during naptime when I was staying home with my four kids and do the Indeed Death Scroll. Tell me if this sounds familiar, “I’ll just take a look to see what out there…and I’m not qualified for that one…they would never want me…if I just knew 7 more things in 2 days, I could do that one…is there any flexible work so I’m not abandoning my kids?”


I know getting into tech or returning tech is really, really hard. Often we think we don’t have the skills. That may be true. We may need to acquire a few skills to get hired. But we don’t need to acquire a PhD-level tech resume for an entry level position. That is NOT needed. So why do we keep learning and never actually get hired? I learned the hard way, it’s all about confidence!

“From the moment I spoke to Ellen she was forward about the program and even had me cry a little when we got to talking about my WHY. I'm an over-thinker and get caught up in all the noise of information out there about UX design. Ellen was very supportive and not pushy whatsoever about me buying the product today and was very helpful in answering any questions. With Ellen and the You are techY group, I was able to confidently do outreach and get my FREElance project, which in turn immediately into me getting a PAID “FREE”lance project (during the program). I'm so happy to have the support of the group and Ellen. THANK YOU ELLEN for pushing me to do more and be more."

"I found EllenTwomey’s You are techY UX program highly focused and personalized - unlike some of the larger bootcamp UX programs available. Ellen will encourage you to work fast, smart and with confidence to achieve your ultimate goal and will support you along the way. Her super power is project management so all content and meetings were timely, organized - and she was always very responsive with her follow-up. For anyone trying to pivot to the UX profession - and meet some great people in the process - I would recommend her program."

Proven Strategies

The UX Portfolio course has been vetted in our Coaching Program. But unlike the Coaching Program, which is only available twice/year, you can get the UX Portfolio course today. It’s a course that you do on YOUR time, when it makes sense for YOUR life.  You can do it at night when you’re kids are sleeping or through the summer if you’re a teacher or staying at home currently. In as little as 2 – 4 hours/day, you can have a job-ready UX Design Portfolio in 3 months.  

Tech learning is endless. You will be learning for your entire career. If you want a job as a UX Designer, what you need is a portfolio. To get that portfolio, you need a step-by-step guide. That is what the UX Portfolio course offers – a guide to the UX process, along with the assets to create along the way so you have a job-ready portfolio when you are done! The only thing to do after that is apply for your dream job as a UX Designer and let us celebrate with you!

What's Included In the Program?

UX Course Modules

User Experience design can be completely overwhelming, not mention all the technology. Our course keeps it simple - what do you absolutely need to know to get hired in UX?!

Getting Hired Modules

From resumes to job targeting to interviewing, these modules contain a prescriptive formula for the steps to take to get hired!

Mentor & Peer Learning

Learning on your own is hard. That's why I'll walk you through the material LIVE, with Q & A time weekly, as well provide feedback on your deliverables. We do this publicly so your peers can add comments, share and learn.

Coaching

All that learning is great, but we know what it really takes to get hired: skills + confidence. I'll coach to improve your getting hired skills and your life in ways you never imaged. Staying focused and clear on your goal - that's what our coaching will do for you!

What's Included In the UX Modules?

User research and personas

The foundation of quality UX is built on effective research. Here’s the great thing about UX research - it’s fun! This module will take you through effective and current research strategies, walk you through how to do it and then wrap up with a comprehensive portfolio-worthy persona building lesson.

user flows and low fidelity wireframes

There is a secret to going from research to design and this module will walk you across that bridge. Many newbies get stuck in this chasm, but you won’t with this fun, effective, professionally-validated technique taking you from research and into design.

user testing

Not sure you are creating quality-UX designs, it’s not about perfection, it’s a process. User Testing will show you how to build an effective testing strategy that is sure to provide the insights to build the best designs for your users. Here’s the great news! Experienced UX Designers use the same strategy!

high fidelity wireframes

Ready to polish off those designs? This in-depth module will not only help you uplevel your design skills, it will also help you think strategically about the designs your users will experience.

prototypes and portfolios

You are nearly ready to start applying for that dream job of yours! In this module, we’ll take the high-fidelity wireframes and build full-scale prototypes. We’ll wrap it up by pulling all your work together into a professional looking portfolio you’ll be proud of an employers will drool over.

What's Included In the Getting Hired Modules?

Dream job description

Knowing what you are looking for is the key to taking the right journey. We will return to this module throughout the course, ensuring that your path is as straight as possible so you get hired, not only quickly, but in your dream job.

Project selection

Selecting the right projects for your portfolio can be overwhelming and stressful. This module will guide you through the decision making process so you can be confident in your choice and keep moving forward on learning the UX process.

Applying for jobs feels hard. This module will help you streamline that process, focusing on the most important aspects of your application process. You’ll learn a strategic process that helps you build and grow into the candidate every employer will want.

Interview for Your dream Job

Nothing breeds fear into the hearts of candidates quite like interviewing. There is a way to interview where you feel confident, even calm. In this module you’ll learn the strategies and tactics to bust through your fears and interview like a champ.

negotiating and accepting your dream offer

Want to negotiate like Chris Voss (FBI's lead international kidnapping negotiator)? This module can’t help you with that, but it can ensure you get exactly what you want out of your dream job or walk away with confidence knowing you made the right choice. It’s not easy, but the process is simple. This module will walk you through step-by-step.

Bonuses

WordPress mini-courses

WordPress is a lot on it’s own. Throw in there the UX technologies that you’re learning and it can be darn right too much. But I’ve got you covered with this super simple, step-by-step guided mini-course that will have your portfolio up on WordPress in hours not days!

figma persona-building workshop

One of the first deliverables you’ll create for your portfolio is a persona. The key is to do the proper research and represent your user effectively through 1 - 4 user types or personas. For a truly professional look to your persona, we’ll guide you through the persona building process in Figma, one graphic element at a time!

FIGMA prototyping WORKSHOP

You can use any tool you’d like to create the prototypes, but we’ll show you how to maximize Figma (a top industry prototyping tool) for the skill-building and confidence you need to know you are doing it right! Your end result will be exactly what employers are looking for.

HTML Hyper-Speed Bonus

You can get hired in UX without knowing ANY programming! But so many of you still want to learn what’s under the hood. This super-effective HTML course will give you the 20% of HTML you need to know to drive the remaining 80% and be 100% effective!

User Testing Worshop

This bonus offers you an opportunity to see a real user testing experience in action. You’ll see what you need to know to be prepared for your user testing sessions, how to conduct one and what the results will be. This is real UX in real life!

FAQ's

The meeting times per week are about 1.5 hours between the FB Live Q & A and the Coaching sessions. The work from the modules is completely on your own time. You can choose to spend 1, 2, 4 or even 8 hours per day. Daily practice of at least 2 hours is recommended to keep pace with the course, however, everyone will have a different work cadence. So work as many hours as you can fit into your schedule, but not so many that you are stressed or overwhelmed. You’ve got this!

The course will walk you through when you are ready to apply, however, the networking strategies we teach frequently yield students to apply before that time. That is great news! Your goal is to get hired, not fulfill tasks and checkboxes of the course. Getting hired is THE goal and that can happen any point during the program!

Yes. Your background has leverageable skills. You will gain the knowledge you need in the course. Tech is about demonstrating skills, not checking boxes. You will be doing that throughout this program. We will also guide you through the best opportunities for beginners so don’t get lost in the sea of endless “senior positions” you aren’t at that stage…but you will be soon!
