Throughout her life, Tina grew up around the world, including Saudi Arabia, Poland, Korea, China, Canada, and the United States. Living, breathing, and experiencing such different cultures, especially during her most formative years, has added a lot to her view of the world and how people from various backgrounds and cultures interact with things differently. These life experiences helped shape Tina's views as a designer. When researching experiences and designing interactions, she puts the user's experience before her own biased views.
