Konnaire, 25 - Product Designer

I'm a researcher, analyst, user-experience (UX) designer, UI (user-interface) designer and prototyper all rolled into one. Essentially, my job is to make digital experiences like apps and websites look, work and feel great for the people using them. It's a creative and analytical role that I love, because it involves understanding people and their motivations.

My big tip...

Choose your university subject and university based on something you truly want to study. Whether you then choose to go to university or not, in either case, keep meeting people and finding opportunities. Everything adds up.
