Graphic design -> Brand design -> Illustrations -> UX design.
Enrolled in a Computer College for my Diploma in Desktop Publishing. Fell in love with design instead and after graduation, continued my learning via self-taught path.

Tried a 6-month Data Science Internship (It was a disaster).
Tried the self-learning path of back-end development, then Front-end development for a while. Finally, my accidental discovery of UX design.

...my beliefs and personal ethics 😊
Design for me is a form of expression; be it through aesthetically pleasing interfaces, ensuring the interaction of users with the product is seamless, and branding to inform the audience about a product or service.
TLDR; Expression, Usability, Impact & Communication
1. Growth Mindset.
2. Flexible Processes.
3. Focus on my craft & self.
4. Empathy
1. Binge watch Bollywood movies.
2. Read Books.
2. Analyse football matches.
4. Try cool DIYs from Pinterest.
5. Play Games.
As a lifelong learner and an edtech enthusiast, I am currently utilizing every opportunity to upskill based on the new emerging technologies and hope to someday work on a project that helps make learning fun and accessible to all.
