ABOUT JAMES DIMITRI KOUTRAKOS
I knew I would be destined to a career in technology ever since I was a little kid. I gravitated to my parent\'s old PC computer and played Blues Clues\' Treasure Hunt nearly every day. As I grew older I started to learn about digital media, video editing, audio and music production, and then I started to code, and that is when it all changed. UX grew on me in my high school years, and like most journeys in life, it was not until recently that I have decided to go all in and commit myself to having a career in UX after years in business and development and education. Being well-rounded in the fields I have been in previously is what makes me a fantastic candidate for any UX position.I aspire to be a designer that works for a company that wants to leave the world better than how they found it. One that can find the healthy balance between financial success and the mental health and well being of all customers involved (internal and external).
