Before pursuing a career in UX/UI Design, I was a Computer Science/Arts and Humanities student. As a computer science major, I loved problem solving and learning how to use technology to ease and progress human life. Simultaneously, as an arts and humanities student, I loved studying the intricate and diverse nature of humans, how we think and approach issues especially in creative ways, and how we have evolved as a species to where we are now.

As a student, I worried these two disciplines were unrelated, maybe even diametrically opposed, but I quickly realized that as technology became increasingly integrated into human life, the two majors did have significant common applications. And when I came across UX/UI Design, I knew it was the role I had been searching for, where I could combine my two passions for a singular purpose. Now, as a UX/UI Designer, I'm constantly trying to improve my craft, welcoming feedback so I can better empathize with users and bring meaningful and creative solutions to improve our interactions with technology.
