I'm Benjamin, nice to meet you.
A junior UX/UI designer also known as 🦄 with a passion for creating impactful user experiences.
How I got started in UX design
During my academic education, I was constantly faced with challenges in UX design. It was an elusive field, often presented under different names or as a mere component of something else. However, it was during my last year of university that a profound interest ignited within me, forever changing my perspective.
I began to see the immense impact UX design could have on human beings. It was no longer about merely understanding software from a developer's standpoint; it was about embracing the philosophy of user-centered design. This shift marked a turning point in my journey.
Building complex software used to be my greatest challenge. But now, the real test lies in developing designs that not only satisfy users but also embody ethics and inclusivity. It is about ensuring that no one is left behind, reaching out to all those who may have been overlooked in the research process.
This realization struck me with an emotional intensity. I felt a deep sense of responsibility, a calling to use my skills to create experiences that touch lives and make a positive difference. UX design became more than just a career path; it became a means to connect with others on a human level, to empathize with their needs, and to advocate for their voices to be heard.
What I've been working on
My journey is driven by an unwavering commitment to personal and professional growth, shaping the way I navigate the world. Labeled a unicorn due to my diverse interests and skills, my true passion lies in the relentless pursuit of excellence within my field.
Through collaborations and freelance projects, I have gained valuable experience and forged meaningful connections. Yet, my core dedication lies in continuously expanding my expertise.
This path is not without challenges, but the rewards are immeasurable. Witnessing the transformative effects of my work fuels my drive. I persist in my unwavering dedication to shaping a better digital landscape and a better world.
With anticipation and excitement, I eagerly await the next chapters of this ever-evolving journey.
What I'm curious about
One trend that I'm particularly curious and excited about is the integration of AI and ML. These technologies will bring a whole new level of data-driven decision making and enhance the user experience like never before!
Voice interfaces are also on the rise and are sure to shake up UX design. As a designer, I'm eager to tackle the challenge of creating designs that are intuitive and user-friendly for these platforms.
VR/AR is about to revolutionize the world of UX design and I can't wait to be a part of it! Creating accessible and immersive experiences for users will be a thrilling new frontier for designers.
And let's not forget about the IoT! With connected devices becoming more prevalent, UX designers like myself need to think about how to create seamless experiences across all touchpoints.
