How Do I Switch From UI/UX Design to a Blockchain or Web3 Career?
Has anyone here made the jump from regular UI/UX design into blockchain or Web3? I’ve got about three years of experience working on SaaS and web apps, but I’m really curious about the blockchain space.
I keep seeing jobs for DeFi, NFTs, and all sorts of Web3 projects, but honestly, I’m not sure where to start.
Do I need to actually understand smart contracts and crypto in detail, or is it enough to just get the basics so I can design better user experiences?
Also, what kind of portfolio work do Web3 companies want to see from a UI/UX designer? If you’ve made this switch or work in blockchain design, I’d love to hear how you did it, what helped, and what you wish you knew earlier.
Any advice, resources, or even stories would be super helpful. Thanks!
