My Journey

My journey into the world of design started in an unconventional way. For 7 years, I worked as a project manager in the VR industry, where I admired the innovative work of developers but always felt a longing to contribute creatively.

At the age of 30, I made the scary decision to return to school and study design. Starting from scratch and learning new tools such as Illustrator, Photoshop, and Unity was challenging, but it fueled my passion for creating visually stunning and meaningful designs. I'm currently in my last year of my Graphic Information Technology Degree from Arizona State University.

During my time back in school, I immersed myself in graphic and AR design, discovering a love for combining visual aesthetics with interactive technology. This journey not only honed my technical skills but also deepened my understanding of the tech industry's creative landscape.
