Lights, Camera, Empathy!
My journey began on the stage, where I learned the power of storytelling and the magic of connecting with an audience. This nurtured my empathy, a crucial skill for any designer. Now, I translate that empathy into user-centered design, ensuring interfaces resonate with users on an emotional level.
Understanding Society
Studying Political Science and Sociology was an eye-opener. It expanded my analytical thinking and gave me a deep appreciation for social dynamics. I learned to tackle problems methodically, always considering diverse perspectives. This phase sharpened my ability to conduct thorough research and understand complex user needs, making my designs more inclusive.
Coding the Bridge: From Development to Design
Diving into frontend development felt like discovering a new superpower. Learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React was exhilarating—I could bring my design ideas to life! This technical journey ensures my designs aren’t just aesthetically pleasing, but also functional and technically feasible. Bridging the gap between aesthetics and functionality, I found a perfect harmony.
The Design Symphony
Embracing UI/UX design was like coming home. Designing brings together all my experiences: empathy from theatre, analytical skills from social sciences, and technical know-how from frontend development. I love creating beautiful and meaningful designs that make a difference. This journey has been incredible, and I'm excited to continue creating lovable user experiences.
