My Journey into UI UX Design
After completing my undergraduate degree in Game Design, I chose to stay home in Michigan rather than entering the industry out of state. I began working independently in graphic design and web design, and it was during this time that I felt inspired to pursue a master's degree in Interactive Design. This was when I discovered my passion for UI/UX and began building my career in this field.
