Designing since 2020.
Going into that year, I was working as a marketer but felt like something was missing. One day, I randomly took a Myers & Briggs test that churned out a career suggestion called 'UX Design'.
Curiosity got the best of me and I took a few weeks to dig deeper into the field. It felt like it was calling out to me, as I always loved design and have an altruistic and curious nature. The concept of creative problem solving for the sake of others sounded compelling.
I decided to bring on the challenge of teaching myself UX after taking an intro course and the rest was history.
