My UX/UI journey began during my first semester at university when I attended a UWaterloo hackathon with a couple of friends. Although I had taken several fundamental design classes during high school, this was my first exposure to learning about "user experience." I loved the fact that I could use my background in art and apply it to the new computer science and psychology material I was learning as a Cognitive Science student. Above all, I was intrigued by the iterative process of UX that went beyond designing something visually pleasing. Because of this, I sought out website and app design experiences, as well as work-study programs that gave me the opportunity to conduct user research in teams. I still have a lot to learn and am excited to further contribute and improve as a UX designer!
