How I got started in user research
Like most people in their 20's who spent countless hours working towards a degree, just to think "is this really what I want to do with my life," I too became a part of that statistic following my graduation in 2019. Post grad I didn't see myself working in a newsroom all day so I decided to take a five month hiatus and relocate to London, England to discover myself and what my true passions were. It was in Europe where I discovered my love for design before Covid-19 abruptly stopped that vision and had me on a first class flight back to the United States. Upon my return to the U.S. I found myself searching for jobs that combined creativity and tech and that is the short long story of how I came across UX/UI design 😃
What I've been working on
Since the completion of my bootcamp with Thinkful, I have spent my time refining and enhancing my design skills to include Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and iterations to my portfolio.
I am currently in the process of another certification for Webflow, CSS, and HTML.
What I'm curious about
Since I was kid, I have always been curious about any and everything; how stuff works, why it works, etc. Needless to say that has not changed and I pride myself on being a student for life because the opportunity to learn is truly endless.
I have a passion for learning new skills and I hope to work with you soon 😊
