My journey and love for UX!
I have always been driven to learn and understand technology and design. Since 2015, my passion has taken me on a journey across three countries (Syria, Malaysia, and the USA) to pursue my education. Although it wasn't easy for a Syrian Muslim woman living in a new country like the United States of America to achieve her goal of getting accepted to the one of the top best universities in the world, I eventually made it to the University of Michigan.
I studied computer science to learn the logic behind every design we build until I discovered the fascinating world of UX design and immediately knew that was the industry that I want to pursue. I switched my focus to UX design as I believe it plays a crucial role in creating digital products that people enjoy using, and by focusing on the user experience of every product I can help drive business success and make a positive impact on people's lives. I am always seeking new ways to learn and grow in this field, and I am thrilled to see where my passion will take me next.
