Before pursuing a career in design, I had graduated from medical school, where I gained a few white hairs and invaluable life skills. I learned firsthand the importance of understanding a patient's needs and desires in order to improve their quality of life, and while I loved the field of medicine, in particular the mental health field, I realized my true passion lay elsewhere, and after some soul-searching, I transitioned into UX design where I found my real passion; utilizing my creative problem-solving skills in order to create meaningful and effective solutions for users. I was instantly captivated by the iterative process of deconstructing and reconstructing designs in order to create elegant solutions for users, and felt a comfortable familiarity with UX considering my background in healthcare.Currently, I am also pursuing a Master's in Computer Science and Information Technology to expand my technical expertise and better understand the software development process in order to complement my skill set as a UX designer, but mostly because I needed a weekend hobby.
