As a UX designer, I am passionate about creating intuitive, seamless, and enjoyable user experiences.
Why UX Design? It's ability to change lives. Yes, I know, it sounds cliché! - But hear me out. It's not just about the average user; it's about crafting experiences that surprise and delight. As a self-professed puzzle solver before bedtime and a daytime connoisseur of photography, videography, and design, I'm fascinated by how UX design seamlessly blends strategy and creativity.
