INTRODUCTION
Formulation of an interest in art in early stages of my life was an indication for me and
around that I would venture into a creative path sooner or later. It would give
immense joy in creating aesthetically pleasing things that would bring the moments
awe and wonder in others. Little did I knew
then
that
this
adoration for conception
lead me to places I would never
otherwise
have thought of.
PHASE
1 - Bachelor Years and Life at college
Taking forward
this
zeal of mine, I stepped into the art college, taking up Applied arts
my majors which was one of the most worth including, an innovative encounter that
me a lot and in-depth about
design
. The undergrad years not only made me
with the terminology, concepts and know-how of the
design
field
but
also
me to several virtues and values of life and the exploration of several
in the
design
dimension, primarily the things that lie outside of the traditional
.
PHASE
2 - Job and real-world application (Appendix A)
My professional journey began when I landed a job in a marketing startup, THE
SOCIALITE, which dealt with the branding and advertising of several local and national
. While working there as a graphic
understood the practical
of
design
and how the market operates. Those insights into the pragmatic
helped me learn how
design
shapes any brand and plays a vital role in
itsthe thing named or in question
. Since it was a startup so I was forced to wear several hats, which at the time
agitate
in the hindsight, it helped me
my skills and
several tasks at
aided me to garner
of not only the
of
design
but
also
of the marketing and dealing with people
clients).
After working there for a year I shifted to another
name ELECTROVESE SOLUTIONS where I got acquainted with working in a
professional setting. My time at Electrovese
further
enhanced my working
also
introduced me to the
UX
and
UI
,
UI
in particular
.
This
new direction was
I have been working on
it had not come to the
. The idea of taking those
design
skills that I had learned
then
and
those to create products that you could see people interacting with really gave
sense of joy and an urge to learn more about
this
newly discovered stream but I was
of the fact and
also
determined that I need to learn more about
this
field
.
PHASE
3 - Conestoga and life presently (Appendix B)
The decision to study Interaction
Design
turned out to be really a life-altering one
notnegation of a word or group of words
only did I get inducted into the
field
of
UX
/
also
I learned
in abundance,
things which I never knew earlier. It opened me up to the avenues undiscovered
and things never experienced earlier. I learned to fail quickly and often and
the insights derived
on things for better. Not only
did I gainedSuggestion

have I gained
did I gained
about the
of
UX
/
UI
, built
I
also
met people who I really admire now and have
from them so many ethics like how to be calm in every situation, how to give
take critique and most importantly thinking out of the box, all of which is really
in becoming a
UX
/
UI
designer. Prior to joining
this
course, I had heard of the
UX
and
never really knew the meaning behind those terms. The most
of the things that I learned and am still learning is the understanding of the
sphere and not jumping to the solution straight away.
Also
, having an
approach towards the problem you’re trying to solve is something that has,
now, embedded in me, which I believe is of paramount significance.
PHASE
4 - The coming years and Life ahead
All the experience assimilated in the
last
7 months helped me score an internship at
HOLESHOT1 Media, as a
UX
/
UI
designer and made me more determined to pursue
this
further
and
a career for myself in the same. My plan of action ahead is
toto a degree exceeding normal or proper limits
complete
this
internship by providing value to the organization and learn
about the market framework of the
field
of
UX
. I
also
aim to secure a full-time
in the same company I have secured
in and
also
simultaneously
other possible opportunities out there.
This
would need me to work
with the process of
,
relearn and I’m excited and
to do so.
