From Code to Canvas: My Journey

Starting with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering, I honed my technical skills and problem-solving abilities. My diverse journey as an immigrant, engineer, and designer broadened my thinking, particularly in understanding various user stories and needs.

As an empath, I naturally step into others' shoes, striving to provide solutions that address their unique needs. This desire led me to pursue a career that prioritizes empathy, usability, and clean design. This paved the way for my transition into the dynamic field of User Experience (UX) Research and Design. Today, I'm pursuing my Master's in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), continuing this exciting path.
