Profile
I’m Dada, a graduate of the Master of Information program at the University of Toronto, specializing in UX Design. Prior to that, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Media Studies and Art History, also at UofT. My interest in UX design stems from the way it blends digital media and art, which is what drew me to this field.
​
My background in art has made me particularly sensitive to color combinations, while my media studies have taught me the importance of storytelling and user empathy. I believe that understanding users’ needs is the cornerstone of designing effective apps and platforms.

Reading book
Reading connects me to life. Reading helps me discover the world, others, and myself in deeply meaningful ways. It's truly something I am passionate about. My favorite authors are Stefan Zweig and Hermann Hesse. My favorite books are The Razor's Edge, and The World of Yesterday.

Love art & Museum tour
l like to go to art museums because I can feel the communication with the artist. Art lets me time travel. It's always interesting to see what is going on in the world of fine arts through different periods! l like Impressionism and Dada the most.

Listen to Music
Hip hop amps up my mood and energizes me. That's what the name itself means, hip (cool, fresh) hop (movement). My favourite rappers are J Cole and Jony J.
