Happy Weekend! π
Up and Grateful...
I want to shout out to some people that where there, did their parts till the end. @TechCrushHQ Capstone Project.
Quite encouraging...
@aishh_Kar@gudnues24... I appreciate you. π.
Let's keep moving!
Some updates are worth sharing I must say.
So, today was the presentation for Group 3 Capstone Project @TechCrushHQ. In spite of hitches here and there from the General Team Lead(a PM), I came up to do my best. And I did.
One funny but not so funny thing happened. While I was presenting, my mouse stopped working, my keyboard, my headphone. They all started working after the presentation. It was.... But nevertheless, it is done!
And I know what I achieved so far. I'm a much better version of myself, I tell you.
On a lighter note. My face is going viral! Check out my presentation screen. ππ.
In case you are wondering... My name is Uzochukwu Ngozichukwuka Julie (madien name - Onwodi Ngozichukwuka Julie). βοΈ

Day 9 Prompt: What's my tech superpower?
It's not basically the tools I use, neither is it the certificates I have.
It's in showing up, even when I don't feel like it.
It's learning beyond what's taught.
Exploring beyond the assignments given.
Staying curious in the midst of a lot.
Every project, every challenge, every mistake becomes a lesson for me. I have made quite a lot. But I don't stay down, I pick myself up and move on, hoping for the best.
That's the superpower I have and I'm still building & refining every day. π
@Meedayyy@JoshOpaleke#Tech4AfricansScholars#TechCrushgraduation#Tech4Africans#UIUX#Design#Tech#LearningInPublic#GrowthMindset
It was quite an experience. I learnt a lot and I can say, I'm not the same person I was earlier on. I am a much better version of myself in regards to the craft and also in life in general.

Product Management Vs Product Design Vs Digital Marketing
Great products need vision, usability, and demand. But who really shapes the direction of a product the most, the PM, the Designer, or the Marketer?

Day 7 Prompt... "A snippet of my project?
π₯Phewww! Where do I even begin?
I have worked on a lot, just because some 'humans' refused to show up.
This is just a snippet of what I'm working on right now, a mini design system. I'm putting the components and variables in place to help those that are even showing up at all. Too bad! But we move...

"If I could start againβ¦"
I wouldn't stress so much about making every early project a masterpiece (I and my meticulousness).
Instead, Iβd lean harder into trusting the process. Documenting the messy drafts, the iterations, and the failures, because that is exactly where the real growth happens.
Looking back, I poured my absolute best into this journey, staying consistent even amidst the trials, tight schedules, and late-night doubts.
To anyone just starting their design program or scholarship: Keep showing up for the process, not just the pixel-perfect results.
Day 6 Prompt @TechCrushHQ: Done!
@Meedayyy@JoshOpaleke#Tech4Africans#TechCrushScholars#TechCrushGraduation#uiux#productdesign
Dear 2020 Me,
Right now, youβre staring at a blank canvas, wondering if this deep dive into pixels and user psychology is actually going to pay off. You are just there, asking yourself a lot of questions, here and there.
Just take a breath! I would love to tell you that... it's definitely going to pay off.
If you could see us today, your mind would be blown away. You aren't just designing interfaces; you're leading a design team, mentoring other creatives, and shaping digital products that genuinely improve lives. You even earned a UI/UX scholarship and much more that validated all those late nights.
We didn't just become a designer; we became a leader and a storyteller. Trust the process. Every pixel you're creating, adjusting and readjusting right now is building our future.
Remember! NEVER GIVE UP! KEEP PUSHING! Till the dreams become a reality, by GOD!
Day 4 Prompt - @TechCrushHQ#Tech4Africans#TechCrushscholars#TechCrushgraduation@JoshOpaleke@Meedayyy#uiuxdesign#productdesign
Check out this project on @Behance: "Google Keep UX Redesign" be.net/gallery/250631521/Gooβ¦.
Finally done and pushed out! Let's go unto the next project. π
Day 2 prompt:
"Tell us about the excitement you had when you got the scholarship". @TechCrushHQ
When I found out I got my UI/UX scholarship, I didn't celebrate. No jumping around, no exciting posts.
βHonestly? I was overwhelmed. Between a packed schedule and zero time, my first instinct was to walk away before I even started. I though about turning it down, really.
βBut I took a breath, chose to push through, and leaned in anyway, promising myself to take hold of the opportunity presented to me, to grow beyond how I was.
Looking back now? It was, in fact, one of the best decisions I made.
βIf you're on the fence about a new challenge because of "perfect timing", there isn't any to be honest.
Just start.
Here I am, moving beyond my horizon. π

Nothing so fancy tonight...
But the journey makes a lot more sense now than it did a while ago.
I will make it and soon, the testimony will be palpable. π
