My journey into Human-Centric design stems from over 10 years of practice and education in drawing and professional design. It wasn’t an obvious choice at first, but it became increasingly clear as I evolved as both an artist and a designer.

In my early years, drawing was everything that I knew. I spent countless hours sketching comic-like cars, buildings, and planes—completely absorbed in the act of creating. At that time, I didn’t think much beyond the joy of drawing. But when someone asked if I’d ever consider drawing as a profession, it sparked something in me. For the first time, I realized that my passion could be more than just a hobby—it could have real-world value. This revelation led me to pursue architecture in college, an area where I could merge my interest of spatial design with my skills in graphical representation.

As an architecture student, however, I began to notice something troubling. While the focus of our studies revolved around form, aesthetics, and spatial dynamics, I often felt that the human experience was overlooked. Professors would critique our designs based on how they looked, how their shapes embodied artistic or abstract ideals, or how data suggested they "would contribute to better environments". Yet, there was often little conversation about the people who would actually inhabit these spaces. I couldn’t help but wonder why human needs weren’t placed at the forefront when designing spaces for people.

This disconnection between design and the user experience is what ultimately led me to transition into Human-Centric design. I wanted to create work that not only looked good but truly served the needs of the people who interacted with it.
