My family once said a girl doesn't need a higher education or a great career. A good husband is enough and should be her life's ultimate goal. Now they can proudly say that I am and should be able to decide my own life.

Living up to that, I challenge myself to continue learning and growing. How?

✨ 4+ years crafting and managing international education opportunities for students have taught me that: experiences, once designed and delivered well, can leave an incredible impact and bring changes.

✨ And so, I've decided to take a step further into the Product and User Experience, starting with a UX/UI Design BootCamp at #ironhack. Why? 
To create more engaging and inclusive experiences and contribute to a better world!

👋 So, hi, I'm now proud to present myself as a Product Designer. 
I'm a curious, enthusiastic, adaptable designer and a critical thinker with a pinch of creativity. I believe in the power of empathy, looking deeper into users' situations, creating solutions, and collaborating with my teams to bring those ideas to life.

👩🏻‍💻 During my 2 months of BootCamp, I've worked on 5 projects (with love) and at my current role as Product Designer, I work with these tools daily:
Product Design:
✦ UX/UI design
✦ Product development
✦ Interaction design
✦ Wireframes
✦ Prototyping
✦ Agile and lean project management
✦ Data visualization
User Research:
✦ Interview/Survey
✦ Competitive analysis
✦ User testing
✦ Product Roadmap
Front-end Dev:
✦ HTLM
✦ CSS
✦ JavaScript

My goal is to get involved in meaningful and inspiring projects, work and learn with the whole team to bring the best digital solution end-to-end. 

When I'm not stretching on projects or program planning, I'm improvising, breaking old, and creating new recipes, enjoying a walk in nature, drawing, spending quality time with my loved ones, or simply savoring a cup of matcha latte with my favorite books to the sound of the rain.
