Tips for a young person interestes in UX Design? Like could I start building a portfolio?
A portfolio is a good way to start! Something to keep in mind is that, with a UX portfolio, documenting your personal process (surveys, paper prototypes, etc.) can be more important than displaying a polished final product.
UX is a fast-moving field, so keeping up is also essential. Try following sites like Smashing Magazine, or signing up for newsletters like Sidebar.IO.
Hope that helps! I will publish this publicly in case anyone else has advice they'd like to share.
