(About me)
My Journey into Design: Discovering Synergy Between Strategy & Creativity.
My journey into UX design began with a passion for psychology and a fascination with the intricacies of human behavior. I realized early on that understanding people—their needs, frustrations, and aspirations—was fundamental to creating impactful experiences. As a student of psychology, heavily immersed in academic research, I naturally found myself on the path of UX research first, which became a strong foundation for my future in design.

For almost three years now, I’ve immersed myself in the UX field, studying and building skills in user research, and more recently, UI design, which has empowered me to become the bridge between data-driven insights and innovative design solutions. Today, I’m driven by the synergy between strategic thinking and creativity, continuously seeking ways to craft memorable experiences, exceptional in both function and form.

Ultimately, I see design as a calling; it is the vessel through which I will make my contribution to the world. However large or small that contribution will be remains to be seen. For now, my work is guided only by the simple mission of crafting digital experiences that enhance the way that every day people live and work.
(Design Philosophy)
Reading
always maintain a learner's stance.

Adopt a mindset of constant improvement and embrace the iterative nature of design. Seek and implement feedback; the probability of your first design idea being your best is very low.

Thumbs Up
design inclusively; It's good for business.

Accessibility and inclusivity are more than just buzzwords. With proper execution, designing for everyone has the power to elevate a good experience into something truly unforgettable.

Project Management
inspiration is the lifeline of innovation.

Gather inspiration from designers whose work you admire and use common design patterns; they're common for a reason. We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Empathy
design with your heart in mind.

Always prioritize your users' needs above all else. Empathy and understanding are the keys to meaningful, effective experiences, which, subsequently, are the keys to business success.

Analyze
skip user research at your own peril.

If you don't know what your users need from your product, you risk releasing a product riddled with features no one likes or even wants. You can't afford not to do research.

Morale
Bring your ethics to work every day.

Consider the broader impact of your design decisions. You don't have to save the world, but avoiding dark UI patterns, respecting user privacy, and designing in ways that promote positive, responsible usage are important duties of the UX designer.
