"I feel like UX design is a way of thinking more than a degree, because it teaches you to look at things from the user's perspective. Every day at work, I'm seeing things from the customers’, from the clients’, from the stakeholders’ point of view, understanding their pain points and the things that create value for them, so that you can provide solutions that really work."
