In the past, when I worked as a sound designer, I had to understand the meaning behind each scene and craft an appropriate sound. When I worked as an instructor, I catered each lesson to as many students as possible so no one fell behind.
These jobs influenced my abilities as a UX Designer by helping me to come up with the meaning behind each design decision. In teaching, the challenge of balancing learning with fun is just like how software has to balance being intuitive, visually appealing, and feasible to develop.
I love creating new things and helping others to realize ideas. I'm a huge nerd so when I'm not working, you'll probably find me painting miniatures or playing board games with friends.
