In this episode of Talk Tech With Tiff I am sitting down with Assaf, the Head of Design at Stackbit. In this conversation Assaf shares his journey into product design, tips he has for others looking to break into product design, interview tips, and more. To get Assaf (my co-worker) to do this interview I had to convince him that we would all go give him a follow on his Twitter!

While I was modeling in Hong Kong, I eventually felt the desire to further my education. I decided to depart the modeling world and move back to Canada, knowing that could be the end of my modeling opportunities. I attended Ryerson University for GCM (Graphic Communications Management), as I thought I might still work in the fashion industry in another capacity. It was in my last year of university, I was introduced to a very basic coding course. I instantly fell in love. From there I knew I wanted to pursue software development but didn't have a clue where to start. I didn't want to go back to university as I just completed a four-year degree. I decided to enroll in a 10-week intensive coding Bootcamp. From there I started working at a small startup learning and growing my technical and soft skills. I then transitioned to a larger company where I am a software developer and technical consultant today.
