How I Started My

UX Journey

I had the privilege of growing up in a home where my mom’s family were creative artists, and my dad’s side boasted a lineage of architects. So, you can say I was immersed in a world of shapes, colors, emotions, and significance.

This upbringing instilled in me a profound belief that even the most stunning creations are rendered meaningless without a purpose and a well-structured information architecture

—————–

When I was a kid, I loved turning everyday things into something new, even if it meant breaking a few toys. I was always curious, asking “why” a million times and trying out different stuff to see how things worked.

Thanks to my curious nature and toy-tinkering adventures, I became the family’s go-to problem solver.

My journey into the world of UX design really kicked off during my second year of college, where I was majoring in computer science.

It all started when I clinched the top prize for a multimedia project I created using Adobe Flash and ActionScript.

The project’s concept was to teach students Physics, Biology, and Chemistry through engaging illustrations and animations. It was such a hit that it even made it into the newspapers! As a result, I received my very first job offer as a Graphic and Web Designer.

I was learning on the fly, but I couldn’t help feeling that there was a

missing piece in the process.

My whole world transformed when I discovered Steve Krug’s “Don’t Make Me Think” and Donald Norman’s “The Design of Everyday Things.”

It was like stumbling upon a treasure chest of knowledge that filled me with warmth and excitement. These books ignited a deep passion within me for UX design, a field that beautifully combines creativity, problem-solving, and a profound focus on enhancing the human experience.

This path has proven to be incredibly rewarding, not only for myself but for all those who share a genuine enthusiasm for crafting meaningful and user-centric interactions.

It’s as if I’ve found a calling that aligns perfectly with my belief that our purpose in life is to make the world a better place for others. Through UX design, I’ve discovered a way to do just that, by improving the experiences and lives of those we design for.
