I've always been interested in design. I started in my early teens with digital design which later helped me pick highschool and even university. And now I have a bachelors degree in UX design.

I use Figma exclusively, regardless if it is to manage research or creating prototypes.

It depends. My responsibilities varies are very flexible depending on which project I work with. In my latest assignment I was responsible for two design systems for Toyota Material Handling. And in my upcoming I'm responsible for redesigning a website.

Although, I am most interested in the later part of the design process i.e. creating rather than research. I've had the opportunity and luck that most of my assignments have let me get deeper knowledge within that part of the process and I hope that continues.

Looking forward I hope my responsibilities continues on the same road but also gives me the opportunity to help other designers be more efficient and to create better and more thoughtful design.

Continue creating.

Without sounding as a know it all - I think most juniors need to create and do more to distinguish themselves in the sea of designers applying for each job application. It's no secret that the job market is rough for juniors at the moment, but I honestly think that creating more and showing your interest and curiosity for the field is what makes you more attractive to the recruiter.

Not doing a masters.

Realizing that design is everywhere has helped me tremendously. Everywhere is a source of inspiration.
