How I got started in UX
Ballerina turned corporate analyst - my path has always been one of storytelling, whether through movement or data. Like many in 2020, I needed to find a new way forward that best fit my strengths. What I found was that UX processes bring together all the things I love about collaboration and challenges and allows me to directly impact people in a positive way.
