about me

Navigating the UX Universe

I found my way into UX almost unexpectedly. Long story short, I earned my Bachelor's in fashion design and spent 3 years in the apparel industry. Although I enjoyed the creative work, I yearned for something more tech-focused. Upon arriving in Germany, I took a leap and enrolled in a web science Master's program at the University of Cologne. Throughout my studies, the concept of "Design Thinking" fascinated me, offering a space to blend my creative skills with my curiosity for problem-solving. To delve deeper, I joined a UX Bootcamp at CareerFoundry institute in Berlin, marking the beginning of my creative design journey. That's..... how it all started!!!

In my free time, I love to cook and explore new recipes as a hobby. Since settling into life in a new country, my love for cooking has truly flourished. Just as I approach cooking with a sense of curiosity and a desire to learn, I bring the same mindset to my work as a designer. With a protagonist personality type, I embrace a growth mindset. I am always learning, always making.
