UX Design
Why I Do UX
I am an innovative and creative person so I originally decided to pursue engineering. However, I came to the realization that I can better implement my problem solving talents as a UX designer. So, I enrolled in DevMoutain's Full immersive UX Design program.
My Design Method
Each problem is unique and requires a unique solution, so I don't like to limit myself to one rigid method. I believe that equally important to being able to solve problems, a UX designer must also be good at finding problems. Identifying problems is always my first step, then I can decide the best way to go about fixing it.
UI Examples
HOW CIVIL ENGINEERING MAKES ME A BETTER UX DESIGNER
DESIGN FOR USERS - Everything that engineers design will be used by people. Thinking about the user has always been at the center of my work as an engineer.
CRITICAL THINKING & PROBLEM SOLVING - Engineers go through years of training to learn how to think critically and solve problems. It's what they do! UX is all about solving problems, which is nothing new for me.
WORK WELL WITH ENGINEERS - Part of UX design is working with engineers. I can work well with engineers because I am an engineer.
DRAFTING - As a civil engineer, I use drafting software everyday. This skill has translated will to learning how to use UX design software such as Figma, Sketch, and other UX tools.
Civil Engineering Projects
My work as a civil engineer has been to design new subdivisions. I create construction drawings so that sites will be built correctly, and up to engineering standards. Get a glimpse of some of my work here.
