WELCOME! I'M PUMBA. YEA, IT'S NOT MY REAL NAME. IT'S A NICKNAME THAT HAS BEEN WITH ME MANY YEARS. I AM A GRAPHIC DESIGNER TURNED UX DESIGNER. I KNOW MANY GRAPHIC DESIGNERS EVOLVE INTO A VISUAL UX DESIGNER, BUT MY REASONING IS A BIT DIFFERENT. ALWAYS LOVED DESIGN, BUT ALWAYS FELT UNSATISFIED WITH MY WORK. NOT BECAUSE I WAS CRITICAL OF MYSELF, BUT SOMETHING WAS MISSING. PURPOSE. I WANTED TO DESIGN WITH A PURPOSE. TO HELP PEOPLE. MY LOVE OF PEOPLE AND SOCIETY HELPS ME EMPATHIZE WITH PEOPLE AND THIER PAINS. WHAT BETTER TO COMBINE TWO THINGS I CARE ABOUT THE MOST INTO ONE.
