It can help to build better software in numerous ways. Not only down to how the UX/Ui makes the user feel but what message are you able to get across. How does the vibe of the website aid the user to accomplish what you are trying to tell/sell. These are super important to think about wheb designing something.

## What do you plan to improve upon while at Turing?
Personally I think that by answering question I would be limiting the progress I could actually make when I spend my time there. I would hope to learn alot more of web development. But as a person, I hope to accomplish a lot more. Friends, co-workers, a support-group, the list could be endless.
