My journey into UX/UI design has been somewhat unconventional, reflecting the many influences that have shaped my life. Growing up, I was immersed in a world where creativity, entrepreneurship, and sustainability were celebrated values, shaping the lens through which I viewed the world. This foundation led me to initially pursue fine arts in college, I honed my technical skills and explored various mediums, yet I yearned for a more tangible connection between my creativity and its impact on others' experiences.

The pivotal shift occurred when I ventured into entrepreneurship and launched my own small business. This hands-on experience afforded me a comprehensive understanding of the design process, allowing me to collaborate closely with clients and witness firsthand the transformative power of effective visual storytelling. It became evident that the fusion of creativity, entrepreneurship, and a dedication to inclusive design practices was not only my passion but also my calling. It was this realization that ultimately guided me toward the world of design and change majors, I discovered a perfect fusion of my passions.
