From cybersecurity to design

After obtaining a business degree, I went into security consulting and faced some of the most technical challenges I've ever seen. After stumbling upon UX during the rise of mobile apps, I realized my passion was on the creative side of things.

I used to regret not getting a digital arts degree, but knowing code and how digital products are built has differentiated me as a designer. My invaluable consulting skills has added value to organizations well beyond a typical product designer's role.
