My passion for designing things started in Silicon Valley, where I grew up playing with legos, train sets which shifted to graphic design and pixels. 

The principles I've learned from my background in economics, such as supply and demand, cost-benefit analysis, and market research help relate me to understanding user needs and behaviors in UX design. Economic insights have helped me to more intuitive, user-centered designs, as expertise in data analysis, pattern identification, and user response prediction is key to creating effective user experiences.
