Finding Purpose Through Design

After graduating, I took time off to prepare for government exams, but along the way, I discovered something unexpected—my passion for UI/UX design. What began as a backup option turned into a meaningful journey of creativity and purpose. I balanced exam prep with design internships, slowly realizing where my heart truly lay.

By 2024, I fully committed to becoming a UI/UX designer. I now see my career break not as a gap, but as a turning point—a chance to explore, grow, and find what truly drives me. That time helped me uncover my calling, and today, I’m excited to bring that passion and clarity into every project I take on.
