My Story
My background in Computer Science gives me skills in research, communication, and knowledge of the technology industry. I saw the potential design has in bringing about change in both human behavior and exchange with technology. To quote Caroline Sinders- "Design can be an equalizing action that distills code and policy into understandable interfaces." I think design can empower people to develop agency to use technology to their advantage.
"Charity begins at home."
My first brush with the design was at home. My mother is better at finding solutions to things than my dad, and the difference in the way they approached the problem. My father- an engineer- would look at things from a logical perspective and dive deep into the ins and beyond, while my mother could find a practical fix that would not just work but was innovative too. I would say she is more ad-hoc than my father. She has a creative side to her, and here I am now using a mix of the best :)
