My name is Kaden, a curious individual with an unorthodox past. Prior to pursuing UX as a career, I worked and studied in the medical field and spent considerable time in the service industry, which provided me with thousands of face-to-face interactions with customers. My experience has cultivated many skills transferable to UX design. Patient care reinforced my ability to empathize, requiring me to understand the needs, concerns, and goals of patients. Attention to detail was another key skill refined during my time in medicine, where even the smallest details could have significant consequences. Both my time in the medical field and in service have greatly developed my communication skills, while deepening my understanding of the nuances of human interaction and behavior.

I now approach UX design with empathy, effective communication, curiosity, attention to detail, conscientiousness, and a strong passion for design. These qualities help me better understand users and their needs, inspire my problem-solving process, and allow me to design products that contribute to a better world.
