What apps do you use to help you design?

How did you get started in your role as a designer?

I've always been interested in design. I started in my early teens with digital design which later helped me pick highschool and even university. And now I have a bachelors degree in UX design.

How do you incorporate the apps in your design process?

I use Figma exclusively, regardless if it is to manage research or creating prototypes.

What advice would you give to your younger self trying to get into the field of design?

Continue creating. Without sounding as a know it all - I think most juniors need to create and do more to distinguish themselves in the sea of designers applying for each job application. It's no secret that the job market is rough for juniors at the moment, but I honestly think that creating more and showing your interest and curiosity for the field is what makes you more attractive to the recruiter.

Do you have any regrets in your journey in becoming a designer?

Not doing a masters.

As a designer how do you stay inspired?

Realizing that design is everywhere has helped me tremendously. Everywhere is a source of inspiration.
