Here's where I learned how to do it!

My major in Integrated Digital Media focused on user experience design, interactive media, and digital storytelling, while my minor in Game Design provided deep insights into player psychology, interaction patterns, and immersive design principles. This interdisciplinary foundation shaped my approach to creating engaging, user-centered digital experiences.
