001 - Graphic to UX Design, IC to Manager, and Interview Tips with Poyi Chen of Meta

Today I’m talking to Poyi Chen.-Poyi recently joined Meta as a product designer. Before Meta, he was a UX Manager at Chegg. And if you’re a student, you’ve probably heard of this education tech company, whether you were trying to rent textbooks or look for homework answers. Outside of work, he loves to give back to the design community through mentorship.-In our conversation, one of the things that stood out to me was the reason why he started to mentor - his introverted self / the feeling that he wasn’t great at communicating. And as an introvert myself, I can really relate to that. We talked about his journey from graphic design to UX design, tips for interviews, how to network as an introvert, and so much more.===Highlights:⭐ Transitioning from graphic design to UX Design⭐ What companies should fresh grad designers join?⭐ Meta's company culture⭐ Tips for interviews⭐ How to network as an introvert===Not Just Pixels is a student-led UX Design podcast that strives to help you grow as a designer and get that next design internship or job. This is the podcast I wished I had as a design student, and I hope you’ll get something valuable from this show.-Have a great day! :)
