Hello, my name is Violet, a UX designer based in Perth, Australia

My Story

My Background

I studied business at Monash University and got a master’s degree in November 2020. When I was in college, I worked part-time as a general marketing consultant. I designed digital marketing content, including blogs, posters, and social media posts. I love asking my audients questions to dig into what they are interested in and get feedback on the marketing content we’ve created. These four years of working experience gradually developed my skills, such as creativity, communication, attention to detail, and data analysis.

My UX Design Starting Point

After graduation, I took a rest for one year to think about what I really wanted to do for my future career. I started to draw and read, and try different applications for taking notes and making plans. And fortunately, my curiosity drove me to think about why some apps were better than others, and why the apps were designed like that. As I was testing and reading reviews on the apps, I realized there is a position called UX designer and whether an app is user-friendly, depends on their work. This was my starting point in UX design.

Once I understood how an app or website was designed, developed, and published, UX design interested me. Therefore, I searched online for courses and wanted to learn more about them. Finally, I decided to take the Google UX Design Certificate course in February 2022 and stepped into my new journey.
