About Me 🙃
I'm deeply interested in cognition, technology, and education. I'm curious about human behaviors like language, human-centered design, and effective special education methods. My passion for these diverse yet interconnected fields led me to pursue User Experience.
As a teacher, I often had to make and adjust learning programs for students with special needs. In other words, I was designing their first experiences in education. This made me curious about how focusing on the user can greatly improve any product or experience. I had to learn more.
I started in UX with a part-time fundamentals course. Entranced by its creative aspects, I committed to full-time study in Human-Computer Interaction. Years later, I'm still designing impactful work.
Here’s what I’ve been up to:
