My journey started back in the year 2000, when I taught myself how to write HTML. It began as a fun hobby, but it soon dawned on me that it held the potential for a fulfilling career.
In the first decade of my career, I dedicated myself to front-end development, continuously improving my skills to become a better coder. During this time, I also worked on my design skills separately by taking classes, doing a lot of research and observing design practices of those around me.
And while UX naturally played a role in my work from the beginning at more of an unconscious level, it eventually became the primary focus in the second half of my career.
Two decades in, exceptional standards in design and development come naturally. Now, my focus is clear: Are users satisfied? Is the investment paying off? As a seasoned UI/UX designer, my aim is to create valuable experiences that truly matter.
