I've always been an artistic person. Growing up in an artistic family, I was naturally drawn to art and design. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I ended up studying tourism in high school. While I enjoyed interacting with people from all walks of life, my heart was always drawn to art and design.

During my bachelor's studies, one day I woke up with numbness in my body and was diagnosed with MS. Everything in my world became dark and darker. I couldn’t walk as well as before, but something inside me told me to continue my education and pursue a master’s degree abroad. Eventually, I received a scholarship from the University of Bologna in Italy and moved there. However, living with MS and adjusting to life in a new country was incredibly difficult, so I decided to find something I truly love.

After so much research, I discovered User Experience design and began learning UX. When I started my first project, I told myself, "Yes, this is the one!" It made me happy and fulfilled a dream I've always had—design!

Eventually, I came across UX design. It seemed like the perfect blend of creativity, problem-solving, and helping others. Working with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe XD, and Figma has helped me become the person I always wanted to be—happy and creative.

I am unable to walk as well as I once could, but my love of design keeps me going. I'm currently creating websites and apps, which is exciting! Even though I'm not a tour guide, I'm a UX/UI designer with a bright future.
