the story of my 2+ year journey as a UX/UI Designer
ヾ(^∇^)

I'm currently a UX/UI Designer at a startup called Lyceum Health, after an exciting transition from working with numbers to pixels. But let me rewind a bit and tell you how I got here...

My background in Actuarial Math

In a previous life, I was knee-deep in numbers, studying Actuarial & Financial Mathematics at McMaster University. The world of probabilities, risk assessment, and financial modeling was my playground, but in 2020, I decided to pivot towards something that had always intrigued me – design.

My transition

Enter Designlab's bootcamp program – my gateway to the UX world. It was like learning a new language, one that spoke to my creative side and allowed me to blend analytical thinking with artistic expression.

Making it a reality

Soon after my career shift, I found myself at a startup called Lyceum Health, where I have the privilege of working on a B2B desktop product that aims to revolutionize the healthcare industry. From the beginning, I was involved in the entire product lifecycle, from ideation to launch.

I also freelanced for a few months at another startup called Quantified Citizen, and won 1st place in a Designathon organized by McMaster University.
