How’d I end up in design?
How’d I end up in design?
As a musician turned audio engineer, design was never really in my radar. It all started by designing a few portfolio websites for me and my friends using Wix templates while in college. I enjoyed the process of shaping an experience from start to finish and started self-learning web design.

What I've learned working as a designer
What I've learned working as a designer
My first design job taught me how to embrace the uncertainty of working on something that hasn't fully taken a form yet. My second job taught me the importance of speed, execution, and craft. My last role taught me how to work in bigger teams, where collaboration and communication dictates success.
And guess what was common in all these roles? Empathy.
Empathy not only for the users of my product, but also for the people I work with and their goals, and also for the organization that employs you and they want to achieve.

I'm currently enrolled in a graduate Human-Computer Interaction program at Indiana University, Indianapolis.
Going back to school has been rewarding, humbling, and a lot more other emotions that I’m still processing.
Best part about it is getting to tell people that I do Human-Computer Interaction, I feel cool just saying it :)

I’m listening to albums. Progressive rock, psychedelic rock, ambient, soundtracks, hip-hop, I listen to them all.
