Shaped by a diverse background
My journey into UX design has been anything but conventional, shaped by a diverse background that informs my approach to creating meaningful user experiences.
Initially drawn to the vastness and complexity of the field of biological sciences, I studied various interdisciplinary courses that introduced me to the fascinating field of human factors and applied cognitive sciences. My curiosity led me to join an applied cognitive psychology lab. This experience sharpened my critical thinking skills and highlighted the importance of understanding cognitive functions when tailoring to individual needs. It also solidified my commitment to designing with empathy and user-centric principles at the forefront.
With a curiosity to learn more about people, I invested myself in various hospitality roles, and I discovered the power of storytelling and human connection. These experiences deepened my desire to create impact on a larger scale, leading me to pivot back towards applied psychology and, ultimately, UX design. I enrolled in Springboard’s UX/UI course, where I gained technical skills and practical knowledge.
Thriving in collaborative environments where diverse perspectives fuel creativity and innovation, I believe that the best ideas emerge from inclusive discussions. This leads me to actively seek out opportunities to learn from others.
