Accepted Answer

Study design principles:
First and foremost, take the time to learn about design principles such as balance, contrast, typography, color theory, and layout. These principles serve as the foundation for good design and will help you create visually appealing and effective designs.

Learn from others:
Study the work of other designers, both past and present, and pay attention to their use of design principles, color schemes, and layout. Take inspiration from what you see and think about how you can incorporate those elements into your own work.

Practice, practice, practice:
The more you design, the better you'll get. Start with simple projects, such as designing a logo or a business card, and work your way up to more complex projects. Don't be afraid to experiment and try new things, and don't get discouraged if your designs don't turn out exactly how you envisioned them at first.

Get feedback:
Share your designs with others, whether it be other designers or potential users, and ask for feedback. Listen to what others have to say and use their feedback to improve your designs.

Stay up-to-date:
UI design is constantly evolving, so it's important to stay up-to-date with the latest design trends and technologies. Follow design blogs and social media accounts to stay informed and continue learning.

The best advice I can honestly give is that you keep practicing, maybe even recreating designs that catch your eye, share your work and don't take criticism personal

Focus on the industry you are passionate about then learn its design patterns and user behavior (Ex. E-commerce, FinTech, Social Media, Dating App). Be the master in the industry that you can talk about it for hours and be the most knowledge person in that industry as a designer. This will help you in long run.

UI designing is not just designing the user interface of a website, but also it should be designed to grab the attention of the viewers. It should be designed in such a way that it can reflect a company’s mission statement and its vision. It should be designed in such a way that it can be analyzed in different segments of people. Color is one of the factors which can attract maximum attention of viewers. It can help to create a theme or personality of the website. Features like interactive buttons, progress bars, scroll bars, graphs and icons can add more charm to your website.

Imagine that you are steering a boat. To move forward you need to row with both oars.  If you row with one oar, you will drift to one side and end up drifting in place.  It's the same situation with UI Design. You have practice in one hand and knowledge in the other.  You can practice, but without knowledge you won't grow. You can constantly get new knowledge, but without practice you won't be able to apply it. So you have to row all the time.
