Kyle was feeling stuck.
As a graphic designer, his work was visually creative but lacked the sense of fulfillment he craved. He wanted to solve bigger problems, make an impact, and build a career that felt more aligned with his goals. Enter: General Assembly’s UX Design Bootcamp.
From graphic designer to UX designer to copywriter
In 2022, Kyle took a leap and enrolled in our UX Design Bootcamp online from Melbourne, Victoria.
“I wasn’t fulfilled. It wasn’t fulfilling my purpose,” he shared. “And so I enrolled in the UX Design Bootcamp, and it set me on the right path.” His experience changed everything.
Like many career changers, Kyle discovered that UX design wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about knowing your audience, unbiased problem-solving, and understanding how people interact with digital products. While his background in design gave him a strong foundation, our UX bootcamp expanded his skill set and opened new career possibilities.
After completing the program, Kyle transitioned into a copywriting role. While it may not seem like an obvious path from UX design, his ability to think critically, structure content effectively, and communicate ideas clearly became his greatest assets.
Why GA?
Kyle credits GA for not only teaching him new skills but also surrounding him with a strong support network.
“GA is really well known and has a great support network of people,” he said. “You’ll find the GA logo on, like, every LinkedIn profile at every, like, really important place.”
The collaborative environment was another game-changer. His cohort worked together, shared ideas, and leveraged each other’s strengths, making the learning process more engaging and impactful. Even post-graduation, Kyle remains connected with his classmates, proving that the relationships built at GA go beyond the classroom.
The GA advantage
Kyle’s journey is proof that a career pivot doesn’t have to follow a straight line. Our tech bootcamps help students gain real-world skills, build industry connections, and ultimately find a career path that feels right.
For anyone considering a change, Kyle’s advice is simple: “I definitely would recommend GA as the way to go.”
