I think as a designer, it’s important to have people skills. For me, that means being a person who can pull an all nighter to do the work of the group so the rest of the group can finish their other finals. It means providing for my mother and sister by working 20 hours a week while also being a full-time student. From these experiences, I have learned that integrity, grit, honesty and being down-to-earth are the very things that have defined me as a person and as a designer. It also means I can help others around me without having to sacrifice my own responsibilities.
Though my focus as a designer is on user-centric design, I will always strive to be someone who has integrity, grit, and is down to earth.
