It all started when I began my first full-stack developer internship at an agency called Content Bloom.

As the agency didn’t have any other designers on our team, my manager wanted me to tackle some design tasks such as doing user interviews. 

I was learning about design in my role, but was very comfortable with computer science, and wanted to begin coding my project immediately. 

Thank god, my manager stopped me and said:

"Go talk with some content editors in the company."

 I asked: "Why?"

 He said: "If we know what their struggles are, we will build a better app." 

And that is how I got introduced to UX design. My goal is always to be an empathetic and shamelessly curious designer that understands both the user needs and fellow developers, which I achieve with freelancing, working with nonprofits across Nova Scotia, and lots and lots of books!
