I started designing to understand why people do what they do. And stayed because there’s nothing better than watching confusion turn into “oooooh that makes sense now.”
Lately, I’ve been drawn to B2C projects , products that real humans use every day, where you can feel the impact (and see the feedback) instantly.
When I’m not behind my laptop, I’m probably rollerskating, playing Beat Saber, or convincing myself that reorganizing my portfolio counts as rest.
