Hi, I’m Tom - a UX Designer passionate about connecting with people. I utilize my understanding of human behavior and design principles to create seamless and impactful designs. For the past five years, I thrived in a consultative recruitment role, honing my interpersonal and communication skills. This experience ignited a desire to have a more direct impact on the user experience itself, leading me to pursue UX design.My social science background, with a strong focus on sociology and economics, trained me to ask 'why' when assessing human behavior and decision-making factors. Also, the analytical capabilities gained from my years of consulting further strengthen my ability to translate user insights into actionable solutions.I'm eager to leverage this unique and diverse skillset as a UX Designer within a company that prioritizes innovation with people at the helm. I envision myself collaborating with a team to tackle complex design challenges. My communication and research abilities will drive me to deeply understand user needs, while my dedication and inquisitive nature fuel my desire to iterate on designs, ensuring a useful and memorable user experience. I'm excited to contribute to the future- where design continually empowers users and makes a positive difference in their lives._________________________________________________________________________________________Recruitment background:My recruitment career spanned five years, during which I successfully placed candidates across a dozen industries.
