I first found design in high school through learning InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. My path since then hasn't been a straight line: I earned a master's in Education, then worked across teaching, customer experience, and operations. Each role taught me to understand people before building for them, and that lesson led me back to design.
I believe great design happens in community. We get better when we share our work and learn side by side. At IxDF, my goal is to make sure every designer, in any city, has a local community where they can belong and grow.
