A day in my life as a UI designer in Seattle

Hi everyone! I'm Taylor, a UI designer at an agency in Seattle. My day starts early. I drink my morning coffee, check my calendar, and open my inbox to reply to urgent messages from Matt, our product manager.

At ten o'clock, our design team has a quick daily stand-up. We talk about our current tasks and check the project deadline. After that, I open Figma and design new mobile screens for our fintech client.

At twelve thirty, I take a lunch break. Scott, our lead developer, stays at his desk, but I always go outside for a walk. And here is the funny thing: my best design ideas never come at my desk — they always pop into my head when I walk in the park!

In the afternoon, we get feedback from users, I take notes, and I update our design system. We finish work at five o'clock, but when deadlines are close, we work late.
