Career Journey

A cartoon showing Elizabeth's career transition from Accounting to UX Design.

I worked in the world of corporate accounting— it was stable, structured, and analytical, but deep down, I craved more creativity, more connection to people, and more opportunities to build something meaningful.

That’s when I discovered UX & Product Design—well, more realistically, when my partner introduced me to the field (let’s be honest). What began as a curiosity quickly turned into the next chapter of my career. I realized that design wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about solving real problems for real people. It gave me the perfect blend of creativity and logic. Therefore, after 5+ years in corporate accounting, I made the leap.
