Summary
As a UI/UX designer, I journey began in 2021 with an internship, which marked the start of a challenging yet rewarding path. Transitioning into freelancing for two years, I encountered numerous hurdles and setbacks, but each obstacle served as a learning opportunity. Determined to grow, I delved into free Google courses and tirelessly scoured YouTube tutorials, often grappling with complex concepts and techniques. Through perseverance and grit, I gradually mastered tools like Webflow and Wordpress, overcoming the struggle to emerge as a more seasoned and resilient designer.
