My Journey To UX

My Journey To UX

My History 🗺️

As a kid, I was always drawing, whether it was sketching my friends’ faces in little competitions (which I sometimes won) or taking home two school awards for drawing and painting. But as I got older, I convinced myself that art and creativity weren’t exactly "stable" career choices, so I took the traditional route and earned a degree in health sciences.

After graduating, I realized I wanted something more challenging, so I pivoted to software engineering. I landed a role at Infosys, where I learned the ins and outs of backend infrastructure. But after getting laid off, I found myself building a software engineering portfolio, only to stumble into the world of UI/UX and front-end development. That’s when it clicked: my love for art and creativity could actually fuel a successful career. And just like that, UX became my path forward.

Me Now 📍

I’m Meghu, a Master’s student at the University of Toronto specializing in UX Design. I believe good design should feel like a well-worn path—easy to follow, no GPS required. Whether it’s a 14-year-old who flies through apps like a pro or an 80-year-old who would rather visit a bank teller than download a banking app, I want my designs to work for both.

To me, great UX isn’t just about making things look good today—it’s about creating experiences that stand the test of time (and don’t make people want to throw their phones across the room).
