How I got into design 📱🖥

Before even knowing what UX design was, I knew that I always had a passion for making cool things that people enjoyed.

I can still recall being a kid and drawing comics for my friends to read, not understanding why I loved the process per se but always being constantly drawn to seeing people experiencing what I made and getting some type of joy out of it


Some years later, I discovered YouTuber Mike Locke's channel which spoke of the field of UX and how it combines all the things that I enjoyed; Creativity, technology, and research all in a effort to create products that make someone's life easier and happier.

It was this small discovery that helped me land in a field where I could envision myself not only doing day-to-day, but enjoying the process for the long haul.

So, what have I been doing recently?

• Recently graduated from SUNY Farmingdale State College with a Bachelor of Science in Interaction Design 🎓
