Design Journey
How I took my first step into design
My journey in UX Design started back in middle school when I was obsessed with designing my Tumblr blog. I would edit the HTML/CSS whenever I could. Fast forward to college, I took a website development class and fell in love with designing the front-end side. I then took more courses and participated in design organizations to dip my toes in as many areas as I could. I now aspire to learn as much as possible to keep on growing as a designer.
