If you want to become a UX designer but do not have a design degree, you have probably wondered if it is even possible. It is, and most working designers came from other fields.
The path is portfolio-driven, not degree-driven. You need to learn the core methods, user research, wireframing, and prototyping, and then prove you can apply them to real problems.
Pick a design tool like Figma and master it, then redesign an app you use every day. Document your thinking: the problem, the research, the decisions. That document is your portfolio.
Apply to junior roles with three case studies that show process, not just pretty screens. Hiring managers care that you can think, and a thoughtful case study proves it faster than any certificate.
