About Me
I am Sumit, currently learning UX design to become a freelance UX Designer. While I am on the way to learn UX design I thought to document my whole journey starting from who I was, why UX design, my present and future to come by.
Before this, I was a Software Consultant developing full-stack solutions. For me, this blog page is my journey to second life.
I have had several reasons why I chose the UX design. Firstly this is something that I was doing in free time. I never made it big but I loved the process through which we create a design. Secondly, I was driven towards psychology while studying Philosophy my learning was to see how our mind works. This to me was beginning to psychology and am glad that design presents a unique opportunity to apply what you know about Psychology. Isn't this exciting? Lastly, I love going through apps and its flows. Most of the time it's me in my peer group who discovers a new app, which helps me in learning what's latest.
It's my journey, as a human being I had my fears, apprehensions and excitement. I am not here to share the bright or low side of the journey but to share things as they are. An un-distorted version
Several thoughts were against me to not to write like:
- What if I fail in becoming a UX Designer.
- Is this more of a stunt to gain pride?
- What will others think about me?
- Why share a personal side of myself?
- I have not failed or achieved some level of success, what's the point?
- Will my writing help anyone?
- Why waste time unless you have reached the goal.
I realized instead of self-doubting it's better to face fears as is. The person who benefits the most out of this writing is me. My writing may help others but its a way to organize my thoughts and self-introspection.
