A young enthusiastic UX/UI Designer whose interest in design and creativity got him from a 3 year of software development experience to UX field. Having the ability to work a predefined brand and reinvent pieces that require a change. I intend to look at every work as a challenge and a learning opportunity. As a UX designer, I am curious and continuously hunting for new and better solutions to improve work process with a critical eye and can critic not only my designs but others. I not only learn from my mistakes but also absorb inspiration and know to imitate and synthesis it to useful things in my work. Currently stationed in London and open to any form of opportunity and work.
Now that you have shown interest to know me a bit more, let me talk you through an important professional journey.
Some years back I was working in a promising multi-national organisation as a software developer earning name for my work and ethics but actually I wasn’t really good as a developer rather smart enough to show I was good. I could never imagine myself being in a job which I never enjoyed so after exploration and going through millions of fields (I don’t actually mean million) I came across UX. Actually I met a friend who was already working in this particular field itself and changed my perspective towards design and immediately I knew this was something I want to do.
After thorough research and bit of practice I was brave enough to make a life changing decision which could turn either way though I wasn’t 100% confident. Going for masters into a completely new domain also meant quitting my promising regular income. Each step was out of nervousness but eventually made my feet firm and strong. As a professional I always used to be hungry for instant feedback to my work to which I could connect in real world which wasn’t the case by working as a CRM developer but found it in design. Thank God!
In some years into the field, I grew more confident, enhanced my skills and brave enough to take my own clients and this time it wasn’t just design (which I was pretty confident by now) but WordPress development as well. I had moved ahead compared to what I was yesterday and my risks had paved the way for me making me professionally and personally a much experienced individual.
As I believe, life is a journey so make it a beautiful and inspiring story when you re-visit your past moments and more important you gotta take calculated chances.
