Both of these experiences, in combination with my work as a taxonomist digitally cataloging web content, allowed me to utilize complex digital technologies that I found fascinating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>&#8220;<span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">There\u2019s a level of&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unqork.com\/resources\/blog-articles\/the-history-of-abstraction-and-unqorks-place-in-that-lineage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">abstraction<\/a>&nbsp;and an ability to translate a concept to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unqork.com\/resources\/blog-articles\/no-code-is-the-visual-programming-weve-been-waiting-for\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visual language<\/a>&nbsp;or to physical materials that\u2019s shared between those who build buildings and those who&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unqork.com\/resources\/blog-articles\/why-learning-to-build-is-more-important-than-learning-to-code\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">build<\/a>&nbsp;software.&#8221; \u2014 Kat Stec, UX Designer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">When I realized I was interested in software development, I decided to attend a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unqork.com\/resources\/blog-articles\/coding-bootcamps-an-alternate-path-to-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coding bootcamp<\/a> for women and non-binary people called the Grace Hopper Program at Fullstack Academy of Code. I was then hired at the Grace Hopper Program to work as a Teaching Fellow, helping to guide the next cohort of students.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">Kat<\/span>:<\/strong> Designing for computer interfaces has the advantage of speed, iteration, and user impact. With interiors, I was working on endlessly long projects with little room for testing and change, and a lot of room for tradition and ego. I became quite drained and uninspired by it all. Tech was the complete opposite, and that drew me in.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">My design experience gave me a lot of transferable skills, so I was really focused on using my previous experience within the context of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unqork.com\/resources\/latest-content\/no-code-and-the-human-brain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">human-computer interaction<\/a>. The UX community is extremely transparent, so most of my learning was self-taught, and I was able to fill in the gaps to carve out my own path.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">Michael<\/span>: <\/strong>A lot of my friends already in the tech space thought I would be good at UX, so I decided to explore it a bit more. UX really appealed to me because I would be able to see my design contributions come to life in a matter of days or weeks, as opposed to the years it takes to complete an architectural project. I fully transitioned into tech after completing a UX bootcamp.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Architects are trained generalists, but we have to be able to take a deep dive into a problem area when needed, which translated well to UX. Not only is there a lot of flexibility in terms of the different types of design work that exist on the UX spectrum, but there\u2019s also the potential to be exposed to more diverse industries in tech than in architecture. These aspects were really attractive to me as a generalist\u2014you could say that working in UX satisfies my hunger to learn about new things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">How did you find Unqork, and what stood out to you about the company as someone switching fields?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">Stephanie<\/span>: <\/strong>I found out about Unqork from my teaching fellow at the Grace Hopper program. I thought Unqork sounded like a good fit for me because of my work as a records manager. I had direct experience in a field that could greatly benefit from a tool like Unqork, because of the many manual processes involved at DORIS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">I wanted the opportunity to work on a truly innovative tool that could really help people by creating high-powered applications quickly. Unqork as a product is very relatable to many types of people\u2014it definitely would have been a useful tool for me to have as an archivist, as a records manager, and as a librarian!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">Kat<\/span>: <\/strong>I was looking for opportunities to iterate and learn quickly, and work in a space where I could make a difference not only for users but also for my team. Unqork offers all of that. From my very first week, I faced really interesting design challenges, worked alongside a truly special team, and received all the support I needed to achieve my goals. I found team members with all sorts of backgrounds, some even like mine, who embrace the unknown. I&#8217;ve never been made to feel like my questions were foolish, my opinions were invalid, or my work unvalued.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">We&#8217;re charting the course for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unqork.com\/resources\/latest-content\/infographic-the-unqork-impact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what no-code can do<\/a> and what it can feel like. The platform and its ecosystem are so robust and so full of possibilities that I couldn&#8217;t think of a better place to grow into the type of designer I want to be\u2014an optimistic designer, and an explorer with empathy for our users and our team. I think especially now, that last part is most valuable to me.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">Michael<\/span>: <\/strong>I found Unqork through word of mouth and encouragement from a friend who currently works at Unqork. I had a very vague idea about what Unqork was and what no-code meant at first, but the promise, vision, and potential of it all drew me in.<\/p>\n<h4>How do your former career experiences shape and inform your work at Unqork? What unique perspectives and advantages do you think your background offers you?<\/h4>\n<p><strong><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">Stephanie<\/span>:<\/strong> My work in the Library and Information Sciences field definitely helped me grasp engineering concepts more quickly and logically sort through problems to come to a reasonable solution to an engineering problem. My Master\u2019s degree also helped me think about how the user would interact with our product, which is a perspective typically supplied by our design team. It helps to have someone on the engineering team with this perspective because it shortens the process of identifying when and where we might want design&#8217;s input.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #3b3b3b; font-size: 20px;\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">Kat<\/span>: <\/strong><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #3b3b3b; font-size: 20px;\">Understanding the design process truly enables you to design anything, whether that&#8217;s a chair, a house, or an app. You&#8217;re solving the problems and needs of the user.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">Even if the materials of what I was designing for changed\u2014from thinking about inches and the properties of stone to pixels and devices\u2014the process is the same, zooming in and out as you iterate and refine. I think it&#8217;s why there are so many architects and designers moving into UX! There\u2019s a level of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unqork.com\/resources\/blog-articles\/the-history-of-abstraction-and-unqorks-place-in-that-lineage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">abstraction<\/a> and an ability to translate a concept to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unqork.com\/resources\/blog-articles\/no-code-is-the-visual-programming-weve-been-waiting-for\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visual language<\/a> or to physical materials that\u2019s shared between those who build buildings and those who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unqork.com\/resources\/blog-articles\/why-learning-to-build-is-more-important-than-learning-to-code\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">build<\/a> software.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Do what brings you joy\u2014it\u2019s not always smooth, but it\u2019s got to bring you joy.

At Unqork, we move faster! That means working through problems, facilitating conversations, and making difficult decisions happen often and at an accelerated pace. We celebrate successes, learn from mistakes, and keep moving forward. The only way to journey through these cycles is with the whole team. My background in architecture has always put me in that collaborative mindset.<\/p>\n<h4>Looking back, do you have any advice for people interested in switching fields to enter tech?&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p><strong><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">Stephanie<\/span>:<\/strong> The most important part of my journey into tech has been finding and fostering relationships with other individuals in the tech space whenever possible. The Grace Hopper Program provided a built-in community of people like me who are underrepresented in the tech field, but it was also really nice to attend tech conferences and meet-ups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These meet-ups have a dual purpose of expanding your understanding of contemporary technical practices and innovations on our horizon, but also of providing a common ground to start up conversations with people. Networking, which is possibly the most valuable thing you can do when trying to branch into a new space, is always hard and this type of opportunity makes it a bit easier!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">Kat<\/span>: <\/strong>Go for it, don&#8217;t wait. You&#8217;d be surprised by how much you already know, or how much of it feels familiar. I think for non-technical folks, tech can be intimidating\u2014it definitely was for me, and it still is sometimes. But there are people out there designing these products to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unqork.com\/resources\/blog-articles\/the-importance-of-designing-for-web-accessibility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">be more accessible<\/a> and more approachable\u2014and you can be one of those people!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-febf0c18-7fff-04a3-d463-fb8f1c0fb838\">Michael<\/span>: <\/strong>Do what brings you joy\u2014it\u2019s not always smooth, but it\u2019s got to bring you joy.
