Hello there! You can call me Abhi (ah-bee). Or, if you prefer the full version, Abhinav (ah-bee-nahv).
I am a former middle school math instructor and HTML5 certified web developer turned UX Designer. My path to realizing UX Design as my desired career is a long and complicated one. But, through it all, there were some experiences and traits I had that would ultimately shape me into becoming the UX designer I am today.
As an educator, I created lesson plans based on the learning needs and styles of my students. As a web developer, I embraced the meticulous approach to writing lines of code to ensure a properly functioning website. As disparate as these experiences may be, they taught me how to empathize with other people, create solutions based on the needs of others, and follow a process-oriented approach. These are all traits essential to becoming a successful UX designer.
PERSONAL VALUES
HAVING A Growth mINDSET
As someone who’s eager to learn and grow, I’m always open to constructive feedback or criticism so that I can become a better and more valuable team member to any organization I happen to work for.
Attention to detail
From making sure our user interview questions are properly phrased and ordered in the research stage to ensuring there’s proper spacing between elements in accordance with our design system in the design stage, I apply close to attention to detail throughout the UX process so that the finished product satisfies our user’s needs and addresses their pain points.
Asking timely questions
I take the time to actively listen to what my colleagues have to say before voicing any thoughts I may have on the matter. This allows me to absorb all the information I hear and process what’s being discussed. This allows me to formulate my own thoughts on whatever is being discussed so that I can check to see how much I really understand. If I find that something doesn’t quite make sense to me, I use that as an opportunity to ask questions so that I can gain clarity on the matter.
