A little about myself

I’ve been interested in visual design since my teenage years as I spent most of my days in front of a computer screen on photoshop or designing websites. Eventually i decided to turn this passion of mine into a profession. The biggest reason why I choose specifically UX design is because UX is all about the human, the end users. My biggest motivators in life are helping others and creating something that simplifies the lives of others. UX design was an obvious choice for me.

In my freetime, when I'm not in front of a computer screen, I like to be physically active. Whether it be boxing, skateboarding or out-sprinting my husky (sometimes he lets me win), I’m always up for a challenge. Other than that, I love binge watching sci-fi/fantasy shows, painting Table-top figurines and tending to my many plants.
