I spent a year learning Carnatic music and still love having tunes playing while I work. Somehow, it helps me hum along and create peacefully.

MY DESIGN JOURNEY
Ever since I was a kid, I've been drawn to the magic of creation. From intricate drawings to handcrafted crafts, the process of bringing ideas to life has always fascinated me.

My fascination with web development began during my graduation studies. However, it wasn't until after joining Infosys as a manual tester that my design journey truly took flight.
Looking to expand my knowledge, I embarked on a web development course in Canada. While this course provided a solid foundation, it was the world of Etsy that sparked my passion for visual design. Designing greeting cards and bookmarks reignited my childhood love of playing with colors and typography.

My Blog website - Your Entrepreneurial Journey
This creative awakening led me to establish a blog. Building the blog website on WordPress wasn't just about sharing content, it was an immersive learning experience. From mastering SEO and email marketing strategies to crafting social media content with Canva and analyzing data with Google Analytics – the learning curve was steep but exhilarating!
The more I delved into creating websites, the deeper my design passion grew. This led me to explore the world of web design. Starting from scratch, I devoured knowledge about design principles, layout strategies, and mastering Figma, the industry-standard design software.

Almost half-way through the certification
As my design skills evolved, I felt an undeniable gap – user experience (UX) design. Driven by a desire to create impactful and user-centric designs, I'm currently enrolled in the Google UX Design Professional Certificate. This program is helping me bridge that gap and integrate user empathy into every project.
