"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." - Pablo Picasso
I graduated from the University of Hawai‘i with a bachelors degree in Travel Industry Management. Upon working for a year, I found my job and further opportunities in the industry to be unfulfilling. I seeked for new interests and passion that I would be willing to make a career out of. I reconnected with my passion in technology and design, from which I discovered UX design.
To help me reach my career goal, I took the first step to move to a destination where there was better opportunity. To reach where I want to be, I needed to start from the very basic coding and design, and move my way up to the top. I moved to New York City, and recently completed a certificate course in web programming. As I search for any IT and design related field that would hire me, I practice and study on my own everyday about coding and design. Some nights I code in my dreams.
