When I took the Human-Computer Interaction elective during my final year of undergrad, I realized that I'd been thinking like a designer all along. Transitioning from the logical world of engineering to the creative yet methodical realm of design felt like a natural progression for me.
Fueled by this realization, my design journey started with self-learning and freelancing, honing my skills and gaining invaluable real-world experience. This paved the way for my entry into the industry as a full-time UX professional, where I spent 1.5 years refining my craft.
I identified areas for growth and recognized the value of deepening my understanding of design principles and methodologies. Pursuing my Masters degree allowed me to refine my skills, expand my knowledge, and gain a deeper insight into the intricacies of the design world.
