"University helped me understand coding but I wasn’t sure what I was going to do when I finished – it felt abstract. I needed a real hands-on project to help me understand what I’d learned so I emailed the university and asked if I could finish as a diploma and then I enrolled in Mission Ready’s level 5 Software Developer"
“Straight out of school, I decided to follow the business path, which I am glad I pursued, but I didn’t see it as a long-term career. When we moved to Tauranga, I decided to change to something I have a passion for and something I could see myself doing long-term.”
Before Mission Ready I was putting together collections for New Zealand fashion designers. I’d gotten a Bachelor of Fashion Design and had been working up the ladder starting in dispatch then working up to Sample & Fashion Design Assistant. My friend suggested I’d like UX Design .. I wasn’t too keen to go back to school—I’d already put in three years doing my Bachelor degree—so Mission Ready’s 19-week course seemed perfect.
“The key shift for me was realising that growth doesn’t come from having it all figured out — it comes from being surrounded by people who see your potential and push you to meet it. The mentored work experience started that for me — and the relationships from that time are still shaping my career today.”
“I was fresh out of school when I decided to join Mission Ready, but it was relieving and exciting to find a variety of people at different life stages studying together.” “I heard about Mission Ready from my ICT teacher in school. Based on my school assignments, I had expressed my interest in UX Design; my teacher believed I had some potential and sent me links to resources and tools to help me get there.”
“I have a background in art and design. The Mission Ready Agile UX Design accelerator helped me take the skills I had and transfer them into a new career that’s creative and challenging.” Now working as a UX/UI designer at the Auckland Council’s digital team.
