Art has been a constant passion throughout my life. I love to create things because it gives a sense of ownership and allows me the freedom to express my individuality.      At 16, I dove headfirst into the world of digital art. Photoshop and Illustrator became my new playgrounds, and I lost myself for hours in the glowing interfaces. At 17, I caught the entrepreneurial bug. Starting my own small business ignited a passion for branding and building websites. Soon, I was freelancing as a graphic and website designer, helping other small businesses find their visual voice.

I was medicated for my ADHD, and I unlocked a new superpower – the ability to teach myself.  I began to excel in school for the first time, earning straight A’s. The turning point came during a deep dive into chemistry, and after hours of focused study, everything suddenly clicked. I experienced a renaissance for my own educational awakening. It was like a spiritual Apiffany- as if I could feel my brain forming neuron connections. I began to see chemistry in everything, and I finally understood how the world truly worked.

This journey eventually led me to the realization that I feel the happiest when i have a fusion of analytical problem solving and artistic creation. That's why I've chosen to pursue User Experience Design, giving me the perfect balance of functionality and design.
