Brave enough to go big

While I was in university, I began to doubt my choice of studying software development. I've always enjoyed talking and working with people, which didn't seem to align. This uncertainty led me to explore product management. After a year, I realized I wanted to contribute more directly to building products.

Upon entering the industry, I discovered that design demands a diverse skill set – from collaboration and understanding user behavior to technical proficiency. This was an opportunity to blend my existing knowledge with new learning. The excitement of this journey motivated me to dive deeper into UX/UI Design. As time has passed, my enthusiasm remains strong in using my skills to positively impact people's lives. Let's create something incredible together! 💛

Apart from design, I also like:

📚 reading non-fiction
📸 taking photos of architecture and my friends
💃🏻 dancing (sometimes)
💄 collecting skincare and makeup
🎤 recording my small podcast Midnight talks
🖼 attending art galleries, museums or educational business events
🤝🏻 networking and meeting new people
