History

I finished my first UX course, a self-led Google course on Coursera, in Fall 2022 and was ready to start looking for jobs. My search for a UX job took a back seat when I was promoted at the very beginning of 2023.

I've since finished my second UX course, this time with Designlab, and started my career as a freelance UX Designer.
