My design journey kicked off in 2018 when I boldly signed up for a graphic design bootcamp mostly out of curiosity and mild confusion about what designers actually do all day. At first, I wasn’t sure if design and I were meant to be, but the moment I saw how complex ideas could be turned into simple, meaningful visuals, I was hooked faster than you can say “color palette.”

Fast forward to 2020, I stumbled upon UX/UI design, the magical land where creativity meets problem-solving. Suddenly, it wasn’t just about making things look pretty; it was about making them actually work. That’s when I knew I’d found my sweet spot, and honestly, I haven’t looked back (mostly because I’ve been too busy prototyping).

My background in visual design trained my eye to make products that not only look great but also behave themselves. Working in advertising also gave me a crash course in empathy because if you can survive clients, you can definitely understand users. It taught me to see problems from the user’s perspective and craft experiences that are both smart and engaging.

And when I’m not knee-deep in Figma frames, you’ll probably find me tinkering with no-code tools like Framer, because who doesn’t love bringing ideas to life without writing a single line of code?
