How Did I Get Here?

Entering college I thought going into the field of Information Technology would be a good path for me. I quickly discovered that I needed to do something more creative. My inner musician and production skills pushed toward something more rewarding in the tech field.

Initially, I gravitated towards Web Development and Graphic design. But I wanted to know how and why people keep returning to websites, apps, and other interactive forms of media. When I discovered UX/UI design I knew I had to throw myself into it.

Applying what I know within concepts and theories of UX/UI design is what I use to specialize my work. I like to think of the larger picture while approaching a task and work front to back, from ideation all the way to development.

At first I had a rough experience learning web development. But I persevered and have come to love it while learning UX/UI design. It helps me speak a shared language to other developers so the process of creating a user centered product gets more efficient.
