I like to think that my last name being a typeface was always a reminder for me to pursue design (or maybe it was just nominative determinism). Because before my design career, I was a biochemist! One of my side projects was to design UI for the lab's internal tools, and it was only then that I realized that there was an entire discipline behind UX / UI Design. I loved the creative challenge empowered by research, and persistent empathy for others — and I haven’t looked back since!
In my free time, you can find me learning about woodworking, baking, or finding a new JRPG to play. If you're still curious about my design journey, here's an article from my mentor! Thanks for stopping by!
