I got here unconventionally. In 2020 I was working in marketing, took a Myers & Briggs test on a random day, and it suggested UX design. I always loved design and felt it matched my altruistic and curious nature.
After spending a few weeks reading about it, I took an intro course and taught myself the rest. I instantly enjoyed what I learned and never looked back!
