You can, and I do, argue that my first introduction to the tech industry was in my customization of my Tumblr's HTML and CSS circa 2013.

During undergrad, I wrestled with myself trying to decide between a Computer Science Degree and an Art History degree, ultimately deciding to pursue Art History. It was the perfect balance of psychology, sociology, history, and philosophy, and with my logic, I didn't have to pick a major - I got to study them all.

After graduation, I wanted to explore the more "techy" side of myself and completed the Georgia Tech Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp.

That's when I found UX. Now I know it's the convergence of all of my interests an expertise. I've been in love ever since.
Professionally, I am passionate about DesignOps, Design Systems, and accessibility.

When I'm not designing, chances are you can find me cooking (@mayasmunching on IG), playing with my precious cat, or practicing my Arabic for the next time I visit family in Lebanon 🇱🇧.

I am currently a Product Designer at Nextech Systems.
