So, you wanna know my secret?
Take a look !
How I keep myself informed ?
I actively seek on staying ahead of design trends, especially in UX, sometimes I explore other areas like graphic design or game design. That's why I engage in regular UX monitoring !
​
Often, I find myself reflecting questions about accessibility, layout, or responsive design. These spark my curiosity, leading me down to research and rabbit holes to uncover answers. It's like weaving a web of interconnected knowledge, where each discovery enriches the next one.

Here are some of the go-to resources I usually go to and some of the people's posts I find interesting !

How I try to keep organized
Effective organization plays a crucial role in my creative process, whether I'm diving into UX projects or exploring other creative endeavors.
​
I usually use Notion for task management, mostly for to-do lists, Gantt diagrams, and daily reports, thus maintaining clarity and structure in my work. This commitment to organization not only ensures that deadlines are met and projects progress smoothly but also fosters a sense of balance and productivity in my creative journey.
​
I also prioritize organization in my design process to ensure seamless collaboration and easy navigation for team members. I structure my Figma files with multiple pages dedicated to specific aspects of the project, such as wireframes, UI design, and design components. Within each editable board, I label sections with clear titles and rename elements to maintain clarity and coherence. This approach is made so that anyone accessing the file can quickly find what they need and understand the context of the design.
