About me
I'm a junior UX/UI Designer based in Auckland committed to delivering high-quality designs equipped with smart systems.
Currently in the pursuit of a career transition from a helpdesk support role to a more design-oriented career to utilise my strength in creativity and my passion for design.
Career Journey
My interest in art & design has been present at an early age. I've started drawing illustrations, cartoon, and anime traditionally, till it developed into a hobby I fell in love with.
Fast forward in time..
Arriving in New Zealand, I wanted a fresh start.
After a few Udemy courses, Youtube videos, and a bit of procrastination, I wanted to work on actual projects.
I wanted to have more hands-on experience, so I've decided to take a 3-month UX design bootcamp program, and attended a 3-month internship where I was able to work with a company and designed real-life systems.
Throughout those experience I became a lot more confident with how I communicate. From reading scripts, to finally being able to express my thoughts, and also presenting my work. I even challenged my "introvertive-ness" to start attending social events.
I also felt a huge development with my design. I always pushed myself to create better designs than the previous iterations. Because of that, I was able to deliver high-quality of work that aligns with the company's direction, and I've received positive feedbacks from trainers, fellow cohorts, and mentors on my work.
