Nice to meet you 🖖
Everyone’s journey is filled with unexpected twists and turns, just like this strange spaceship we call Earth. 🚀 ✨
No designer has a "traditional” path, and I’ll tell you a secret: staying within the atmosphere and playing it safe isn’t always the way to go. So here’s my timeline:
⭐️ Learned Photoshop at the wee age of 12; since then, I have always been fascinated by the fine and digital arts.
⭐️ Attended the Arts & Humanities Academy at Berkeley High School. I dove into every type of art class, from film photography to assisting teachers in digital arts and creating public art murals around town.
⭐️ Graduated with my BFA in Industrial Design (with a fun Minor in Fine Arts and psychology for sh*ts & giggles) at Massachusetts College of Arts & Design. Afterward, honing in on the digital arts.
⭐️ When I brought together my fine arts and strategic design thinking skills, I landed in the UX Design world. 🛸 I immediately started freelancing and growing my network.
⭐️ Jumped on a one-way flight to Berlin, Germany, as a freelancer, spreading UX knowledge worldwide. A year later, I wound up at Wayfair.com!
⭐️ After C*VID cooled down, I moved back to San Francisco, CA, and leaned into the consulting world by joining Fjord (now Accenture Song.)
⭐️ Most recently, I have been expanding my craft through fine arts, volunteering as a mentor in a few areas, doing freelance design work, and continuing education within the tech industry.
⭐️ What’s next? Stay tuned!
