Yeah, that's me
But not the samurai guy. The guy next to him. And it was there, in Japan, where I learned about and fell in love with UX design.
And that journey went a little something like this:
I designed lessons and learning materials and was constantly testing them on various classes of students. And that got me thinking about what made certain products effective and others not.
That led me to the doorstep of UX design, which resulted in me going back to school where I obtained a certificate of UX Design from George Brown College.
And here we are now.
