Hello all! Finally getting around to introducing myself. It's a bit past the suggested first week timeline, but better late then never ๐ฌ. My name is Miguel, I'm originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, but currently located in Gothenburg, Sweden. I see there are a couple of others also living in the land of Fika, so Hej Hej to all of you ๐! Also Glad Fetisdagen (fat Tuesday). Hope you all take some time to enjoy a semla today. A bit about my background. I'm currently working as a UX designer at one of the Big 4 consultancies. I've worked in UX/Product for the last 8 years in a handful of different companies/industries. I started my career as a graphic designer, and eventually stumbled into UX design. I love getting into anything creative. My toxic trait is wanting learn a new tool and skillset every other week lol๐
(from 3D modelling, to iOS dev, etc.). Most recently my time has been occupied with helping my partner launch and run a yoga studio here in Gothenburg. That has been a creatively fulfilling project for me, as I've been able to help bring her vision to life, and it has allowed me to workout my Graphic Design muscle which I seldom use these days. Excited to be here and nerd out about product with you all. Also, want to try and find time to dive into some of the books that David has been reading for the book club. I don't think I have the capacity to keep up live on a monthly cadence with all the books, but hopefully I can read along with at least one in the near Future. Bye, Adios, Hejdรฅ! (P.S. my Swedish is limited to the 2-3 words I used in this post lol)
