“I am, and have always been an ideas person, full to the brim of an ideas to solve any problems I saw in everyday life, be that physical or digital products. Before I ever knew what UX even was. I translated that into entrepreneurship where some of my ideas led to me being involved in early stage startups while pursuing my digital media degree.

What I loved about that degree was the visual design element, as it was giving me the skills to create visual representations of my ideas, so i knew then where my future lay. Which is why i immediately started a masters in interaction design after my degree and so my career officially began in UX. I would classify myself as a very natural UX designer, with the ideas to problem solve, the curiosity to validate those ideas and the design skills to build them.”

“The only real advice I can give, based upon my own experience is if this is the chosen career path for you then just completely immerse yourself in it for as long as possible. Because the skills you need and the mindset you need to program into your way of working will come with repetition.

UX is a unique field that has the opportunity to be a part of architecting what is a very exciting future for humanity as we advance even further alongside technology. So feel that passion and use it as fuel to become a better designer everyday. “
