I'm a third-year undergraduate student majoring in Informatics at the University of California, Irvine. I moved to the United States during middle school and grew up speaking four languages: Kazakh, Turkish, English, and Russian. My multicultural background helps me approach design with a broader perspective, especially when creating user-friendly, inclusive products.
My passion for UX design developed during my time in college, leading me to switch my major to focus on UX research and product design. Since then, I've focused on building a strong foundation in understanding user needs and creating easy-to-use interfaces.
In my free time, I enjoy reading and traveling, which I believe help me stay inspired and bring new perspectives to my work.
