Leverage your skills, knowledge, and network to transition into a new career

How to Transition out of UX is a series of workshops, activities, and group coaching to build your roadmap from UX to your next career. Go from unclear about what’s next to certain and pursuing it — with strategies and a solid plan for tackling every obstacle on the way.

Meet your support team

We’re Kim and Mel, two UXers who have successfully applied their skills to start new careers outside of UX:

Are you thinking about leaving UX, but not sure what’s next?

• Feel stuck in your current role and unsure where to go next?
• Burning out but scared to leap without a clear plan?
• Struggling to align your career with your values and priorities?
• Scared of “starting at the bottom” after leaving your UX career behind?

This pilot program is for you if:

• You have at least two years in UX.
• You have enough financial safety in the foreseeable, but you’re considering a career transition.
• You feel a pull to do something else or you’re pushed away from your current set up.
• You are feeling burnt out, unsure, or stuck in your current role.
• You have questions and concerns about where you’re going next and how to get there.

For example, you may be…

• A parental leave professional rethinking your career trajectory.
• A senior-level UXer who has reached the limits of expertise or interest on your current path.
• An early adopter who is looking at the current state of UX and wonders what the future holds.

Program Details:

• A series of workshops that will give you insight, clarity, and an action plan for your road ahead.
• There will be up to 10 UX transitioners in each cohort, supporting each other on their journeys.
• Each workshop will be a 60–90 minute live session, including discussion, coaching, activities, and real-world applications of the insights and tools.
• The live sessions will be framed by optional self-paced work (e.g., answering reflection questions, running some experiments).
• Tools we’ll use throughout: Zoom, Notion/Google Docs for course material, Miro, LinkedIn for practice.
