About Me
In the past couple of years, I have grown interested in human-centered design.
When I was pursuing my undergraduate degree in engineering, I was involved in multiple design projects that required students to provide creative solutions to difficult and challenging problems. With these projects, I learned the value of design thinking and user-centered design. This interest carried on to my first post-graduate job as a design engineer. As an engineer, I was tasked to use my analytical skills with creativity to make engineering decisions in the stormwater field. The aspect that I enjoyed the most was solving real world problems and working with different stakeholders to keep everyone happy while creating a useful product.
Designing products and solving problems in the physical space are not very much different from designing digital products.
As an engineer, I was expected to use my problem solving skills while keeping the user in mind. I enjoyed working as an engineer but I felt very limited. I wanted to upscale my ability to make an impact through design. I want to do more innovative and impactful work. I decided to pursue UX design so I can make a positive impact and improve human experiences through design.
When I'm not designing, I'm most likely:
🐶 Playing, walking and teaching new tricks with my puppy, Comet
☕️ Creating new drink combinations on my drink instagram
🥾 Hiking my way in the mountains, forests and the coast of the Pacific Northwest
💪 Working on my pull-ups at the gym
🧡 Watching True Crime and Therapist react videos on YouTube
