Everyone has a mission in this life, and mine is to improve people's lives through UX design. My journey began with a passion for technical logic and visual storytelling. I didn’t know there was a specific field for mixing these 2 interests back then, so I just chose one. I studied B.S. in Applied Mathematics with a minor in computer science, yet I always made animations in my spare time. Finally, I made a short stop-motion animation and sent it to festivals worldwide. It became a finalist at Three Rivers Film Festival in the US. They invited me to the US and that festival changed my life. Receiving that award inspired me to study animation in the US to learn animation academically. So, I studied MFA in 3D animation & visual effects at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. After graduation, I entered the entertainment industry as an animator and visualization artist. I contributed to many amazing projects. From big Box Office hits, Oscar-nominated movies like Avengers: Endgame, to popular games like Fortnite and fun advertisements like Nike. Eager to explore new horizons, I started working for Meta and discovered UX design there. An eye-opening moment that connected all my passions. Aaand bingo!!! I found what I always searched for; a field that seamlessly combines creativity, storytelling, and technical logic. So, I started learning UX design. I got my Google UX design certificate and worked on several personal projects to make myself ready for bigger projects. Each day, my love for UX design grows stronger as I see its power to improve people’s lives in meaningful ways. My ultimate dream has always been to make a positive impact, and UX design allows me to fulfill that vision.
