About me
I am a UX/UI designer who one day figured that I don't have to do the old 9-5 for someone else to be a UX/UI designer.I can work for clients and help them achieve their goals, have fun and talk about UX/UI…
That's why I decided to embrace my "night-job" (freelancing and sharing practical UX/UI tips on social media) and turn it into all I do (still kinda 9-5 but it's all for myself.)
Since I was 12, I knew I wanna be some kind of a designer -cough- character designer for cartoons -cough-. but with time, I found usability – the perfect balance between aestethics and technology, humans and computers.
