From Yoga Studio to Digital Design

My journey to UX design began in my yoga studio, where I discovered that creating transformative experiences is both an art and a science. As a wellness entrepreneur, I crafted each class as a carefully orchestrated user experience—balancing varying skill levels and instruction to guide students through meaningful practices.

This work taught me that great experiences are built on empathy, intentional design, and deep understanding of user needs. When I explored the blockchain space through podcasting, I realized that UI/UX design was the perfect convergence of my visual design background, people-centered approach, and passion for technology.

Translating Experience into Design

During UX Academy, my background proved invaluable. Teaching yoga—which requires constant attention to user feedback and explaining complex concepts simply—translated directly into conducting user research and synthesizing insights.

My experience creating safe spaces helped me facilitate honest participant feedback, while my philosophy background gave me a natural inclination toward pattern recognition.

Looking Forward

I envision myself specializing in wellness, blockchain, or lifestyle products—spaces where my unique background can drive meaningful impact. Inspired by Japanese design philosophy, I want to create designs that make users' lives more efficient while honoring the mindful, intentional approach I learned through wellness work.

My vision is to build digital experiences that feel as transformative as the best yoga class—intuitive, purposeful, and life-enhancing.
