This was the first UI UX project I created back in 2022 before a system learning from UI/UX bootcamp. Driven by a curiosity for web design, I independently delved into Figma to explore its capabilities. During this early phase, the concept of personas eluded me, and I was yet to grasp their significance in the design process. This learning experience marked the initial steps of my journey, laying the foundation for a deeper understanding of UI/UX principles through subsequent formal training.
