origin story

My design journey started when I was a middle schooler learning how to use Photoshop to create posters of my favorite athletes. This creative expression allowed me to see the power design can hold and piqued my interest in this career path. When I toured colleges and considered what to focus on, I found that User Experience Design was the perfect field of study for me to leverage my creative problem-solving skills to make impactful differences in peoples' lives! I am proud to have realized my passion for UX and I believe this is the avenue through which I will leave my mark on the world!

I was fortunate to have been an industry mentor for Ethan during his experience studio class at Purdue. During the semester, Ethan’s team was tasked with a design fiction project centered on the future of the retail experience. Ethan quickly showed great leadership skills by helping his team quickly formulate a roadmap for the project. Over the semester, he was able to lead his team through many design exercises including storyboarding, journey mapping, concept sketching, and exploratory research. In addition to his strong UX skillset, I was extremely impressed by his ability to make sense of a very open-ended design fiction project space. Last, Ethan showcased exceptional presentation skills by smartly adapting presentations for different stakeholders ranging from designers and researchers to product owners and professors. I would highly recommend Ethan to any design team, and I am excited to see how his career progresses!
