New passions
While I went into college to learn the skills for software engineering, I also learned about myself. As I tried different experiences, I slowly learned what I do and don't enjoy. Coding became boring and meaningless, and I gravitated toward web design and fashion. I became obsessed with how different designs, from digital apps to outfits, shape how we feel and interact with the world.
The rise of A.I.
Artificial intelligence is here to stay and is only getting better. There is much more attention on getting AI to write good code than on a more abstract task like UX. Jobs based on low-level and non-novel tasks, such as SWE, are out, and jobs based on creativity, high-level thinking, and human interactions, like UX/Product Design, are in — or at least, less out.
Leverages my versatility
This career allows me to take advantage of what makes me special — my versatile background. Having experience in graphic design, web design, and software development, a college degree in problem-solving, and a passion for understanding and creating resonating user experiences, I'm uniquely qualified to be a UX Designer.
