Hi! 👋 I’m Aliena Cai — I talk about 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻, 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵. I started this channel when I was unemployed in 2021, desperate for a UX design job. Since then, I've built a personal brand, landed a senior product design role at eBay Advertising, and eventually quit to start my own business, Aliena Design LLC. I spent a year creating a design career bootcamp, Fast Track UX, to fill the gaps in most design education programs which has now became a Figma Trusted Education Partner! Now I'm making more videos and edutainment about design, tech, and business. Enjoy. Thanks for joining me on this personal and professional growth journey 🌱 📚 My UX Design Bootcamp: https://fasttrackux.com 📮 [email protected]
