As an architect with a Master's in IxD, I'm a designer exploring market and tech prospects to deliver value and impact for users and businesses.
As an architect with a Master's in IxD, I'm a designer exploring market and tech prospects to deliver value and impact for users and businesses.
As a student and during the early part of my career as an architect, I spent years studying, traveling, and practicing under reputable architects across the country, before transitioning to UX design. I enjoyed my role as an architect and to me, there was no problem architecture couldn’t solve, but I found myself increasingly unfulfilled. I was craving a creative career where I could realize more ambitious ideas and apply real learnings from human behavior; not just conjecture. I felt like that kind of career required more speed and iteration of ideas, which were naturally throttled in the architecture profession. I quit my job and enrolled in UX courses online, made up my own projects while freelancing for a few companies that were comfortable giving me a shot.

For architecture and UX design, the fundamentals of the design process are the exact same, but the details of craft and terminology were totally new. It took about three months from start to finish to learn and build a body of work, and to get my first full-time job at a design startup, as a UX designer. The transition greatly helped me improve my knowledge and work with a team that asked questions, built solutions, closely monitored every step of design, and expanded my ability to create successful interfaces.
