About Me

Read my story below, or check my CV for a short summary.

MY STORY

Before I stepped into the world of UX, I was always into learning new languages which allowed me to communicate with various people and be open-minded. Eventually, I decided to become a language teacher, like many other language-lovers do.

As a teacher, first I listened to and observed students to figure out what they struggle to understand, then organised the relevant information in a simple way to help them comprehend it more easily. Without realising that this skill could be useful as a UX Designer, I was following my linguistic interests for many years. I was not unhappy, but I had a feeling that something was missing.

It was when I was making a website for my self-employment work that I finally met the field of UX. The more I studied, the more I was absorbed in this field. I was fascinated with the fact that a small change of design could improve so many people’s lives.

Since 2019, I have been working as a UX Designer. Now I am looking to give positive impacts on the various users’ lives through design.

My goal is to understand the users, identify the real problem that they have, and provide solutions to the problem.
