My Story

I have always wanted to become an animator since childhood. I was captivated by shapes, colors, and the way they interacted. Later, I discovered computer games and my life changed forever. I began modifying game assets and Windows Interface elements, even though I knew nothing about Interface design.

This passion led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology. For my first-year project, I coded a UI system in MSDOS (Who wants to be a Millionaire) and received an A grade. I designed and developed more games and other User Interface projects for my university projects. This got me my first job as a software engineer.

I wrote code in .NET programming, but I was always drawn to Interface design and Product design. I enhanced projects with coding UI kits for my company. In 2012, I was hired as a web designer and developer. I learned the importance of Human-Centered design in business applications and the real world.

In 2016, I completed my Master's in Computer Science (Software Engineering). I studied and practiced Human-Centered design patterns in my work. Since then, I have been dedicated to spreading awareness about design and teaching others the importance of a design-centric approach.

I continually strive to stay up-to-date with technology.
