The unconventional designer

During my time at the University of Washington, I discovered my passion for User Experience (UX) design despite studying data science. With UW being a large and competitive campus, I had to be inventive in gaining design experience for my portfolio. I joined my first hackathon hosted by Dubstech, the biggest design club on campus, where my team clinched 1st place. This unexpected victory skyrocketed my confidence, leading to a series of successful hackathons throughout my senior year. These experiences fueled my career in UX design, eventually landing me a position at Slalom Build Consulting.
