From UX to Product: An Intentional Career Route

Technology has been a part of my life since the age of six. My father was a hardware engineer, fixing all sorts of computers and building various custom hardware solutions for commercial applications. In the late 1980s, he brought home our first family desktop—the IBM 5150. And then came the Apple Macintosh Classic. I was fascinated by the possibilities and tried to learn as much as I could about how these machines worked. None of my friends had computers at home; I felt so lucky.
My mother, a stroke-sufferer since her early 20s, is challenged both physically and cognitively. Thus, I was compelled at a young age to study technology and learn how it could improve the lives of everyone—not just the able-bodied.
