BEFORE MOVING INTO DESIGN, I SPENT SEVERAL YEARS WORKING IN EDUCATION AS AN ENGLISH TEACHER AND FREELANCE EDUCATIONAL DESIGNER. THROUGHOUT THOSE EXPERIENCES, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD MANY CREATIVE PROJECTS, WHETHER IN GRAPHIC DESIGN, MARKETING, OR WEB DESIGN.
MY BACKGROUND IN PEDAGOGY TAUGHT ME HOW TO UNDERSTAND PEOPLE, LISTEN, AND MAKE COMPLEX CONCEPTS CLEAR AND ACCESSIBLE, A SKILL I NOW APPLY EVERY DAY AS A DESIGNER. AS AN EDUCATOR, I DEVELOPED A STRONG SENSITIVITY TO USER NEEDS AND BRING A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE TO CREATING ENGAGING AND INTUITIVE USER INTERFACES.I STARTED OUT AS A SELF-TAUGHT DESIGNER AND LATER EARNED MY PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION.
MOST RECENTLY, I WORKED AS A PRODUCT DESIGNER AT BRIDGE.AUDIO, A MUSIC-TECH STARTUP, WHERE I CREATED USER-CENTERED INTERFACES WHILE ALIGNING THEM WITH THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS GOALS. I STARTED WITHIN A TWO-PERSON DESIGN TEAM AND LATER BECAME THE SOLE DESIGNER, TAKING FULL OWNERSHIP OF ALL PRODUCT DESIGN WORK, FROM RESEARCH TO DELIVERY, GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHAPE THE PRODUCT END TO END.
WHEN I’M NOT WORKING, YOU CAN FIND ME TRAVELING, TRAINING IN MUAY THAI, OR TRYING NEW MATCHA SPOTS AROUND PARIS.
