I love exploring and learning new things. No, you don't understand, I really love learning new things. I've studied in an acting conservatory and also a theological seminary. I've taken a deep dive into wine culture and I'm currently refining my craft coffee roasting skills.

I get lost in the minutia in the best kind of way. One of my favorite questions is, "but, why is it being done that way?" I might not always instinctually know the most efficient way to achieve a desired result, but I don't stop searching until I do.

UX/UI design is the perfect outlet for my creativity and affinity for streamlined and succinct processes. For a business, thoughtful and intentional UI design can be the difference between profit and loss, and for users, it can be the difference between an enjoyable digital experience and a strong desire to pull out one's own hair.

I would keep sharing, but I'm sure I have a book to read or a youtube tutorial to watch.

See, I told you.
