It all started back in 2020.

I was working as a marketer but felt like something was missing. As if the universe was hearing my thoughts, the results from a Myers & Briggs test I took one day churned out a career suggestion that changed my life forever: 'UX Design'.
Curiosity got the best of me and I took a few weeks to dig deeper into the field. As someone who identifies as an altruistic and curious creative, who loves solving problems and helping others, It felt like it was calling out to me.
I decided to go all in and teach myself UX after taking an intro course, and the rest was history.
