My career started in the realm of development, where I immersed myself in coding and creating functional applications. I enjoyed the problem-solving aspect and the satisfaction of seeing my code come to life. However, as I gained experience, I realized that there was more to building a great product than just making it work; it also needed to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience for users.
This realization sparked my interest in UX design. I began to explore how users interact with digital products and what makes these interactions intuitive and satisfying. I took online courses, attended workshops, and started reading extensively about user-centered design principles. The more I learned, the more passionate I became about creating designs that put users at the forefront.
One pivotal moment in my journey was when I worked on a project where I collaborated closely with UX designers. Seeing how they approached problems and crafted solutions that enhanced user satisfaction was inspiring. I began to incorporate UX principles into my development work, focusing on user flows, wireframes, and prototypes. This experience solidified my desire to transition fully into UX design.
