Tried to look photogenic
It all started back in 2020.
I was working as a marketer but felt like something was missing. As if the universe was hearing my thoughts, the results from a Myers & Briggs test churned out a career suggestion that changed my life forever: 'UX Design'.
As someone who identifies as an altruistic and curious creative - who loves solving problems and helping others - it felt like it was calling out to me.
After a few weeks of digging deeper into the field, I decided to go all in and taught myself UX after taking an intro course.
