My Learning Journey

Where It All Started 🎓

I began my journey in Computer Science Engineering, where I learned to think logically and build structured systems. But during my degree, I realized that while technology was fascinating, what truly intrigued me was how people interacted with it — why they clicked certain buttons, why some interfaces frustrated them, and what made experiences feel effortless.

That’s when my curiosity shifted from code to people.

Discovering UX🔍

While exploring different career paths, I stumbled upon UX Design and Research — a field that perfectly blended my love for psychology, design, and human understanding.

I started from scratch, learning through YouTube, blogs, and case studies — and later enrolled in the Google UX Design Professional Certificate. Each course helped me understand not just the how of design, but the why behind user behavior.

Building My Skills🛠️

So far, I’ve completed 6 out of 7 courses of the Google UX Design Certificate, covering:

User Research: Conducting interviews, empathy mapping, usability testing
UX Process: Defining problems, creating personas, user flows, and wireframes
Design Foundations: Accessibility, equity-focused design, responsive layouts
I’ve also applied these learnings through realistic case studies, including:

Designing an app that connects citizens to their state and federal representatives (social good project)
A service management app for remote customer support teams

Each project taught me how user needs translate into design decisions — and how research can drive those insights.

What’s Next🚀

I’m now preparing to step into the UX Research world professionally — aiming for an internship where I can:

• Deepen my research practice
  
  

• Collaborate with designers and developers
  
  

• Contribute to meaningful, human-centered products
  
  

I believe learning never stops — and this journey is just getting started.
