I actually learned about UI and UX design from a few different sources. The first was when I took a class in college that focused on user experience, and the second was when I started working for a company that had a lot of designers who were really good at what they did.

One of the best things about learning from people is that they can share their experiences with you—and this is especially true when it comes to learning design skills. If you ask them questions (like "What do you look for when designing?"), they'll have plenty of advice for you.

It also helps if you can find people who are willing to mentor/teach you in your learning process as well—someone who has been doing this for awhile and has learned everything they know on their own will probably be better equipped than someone who just learned it all through school or an online course.

I hope this helps!
