My Story
I arrived to NYC in the end of August 2018. It was a new beginning for me, but also a result of hard work. For several years, I worked in the international public administration, where I have learned that sometimes even though there are resources and there is will, it is difficult to achieve a great result.
It was really troubling me and I wanted to investigate it. This is how I discovered the UX. I wanted to study it, I went through different UX courses in my home country and looked into distance learning. However, it was not enough. I wanted to study somewhere where I would have an option to learn from the best.
And this is how I ended up in NYC. I received Fulbright scholarship and I graduated from the Pratt Institute with MS in Information Experience Design. How cool is that?
Graduation opened new door for me - currently I work as UX researcher at IBM. I hope though my work I can make someone's life a bit better :)
