Next Stop?

Having worked on many projects with different clients, I was trained to work in a fast-paced multi-role environment and pick up new things quickly.

However, as a designer, I prefer to being dedicated to just 1 product instead of many. I enjoy the process of analyzing user feedbacks and iterating on the product rapidly.

So, what's my next stop? Join a product-focused team as a dedicated UX / UI designer and create a beautiful product that the world will appreciate. Meanwhile, I don't mind doing some front-end coding from time to time :)
