How I got to where I am now
When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said that I wanted to be a designer. I received my BA in communication from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Post college I entered the field of social media and marketing. I utilized my creativity designing ads, email campaigns, and social media content. Each company that I worked for saw tremendous growth. Because of my love of health and wellness, I often worked for companies that aligned with those passions. I did social media and marketing for a solar power generator company, a fitness tech company, an integrative holistic fertility company, an organic juice bar, a health foods store, an eco-friendly conscious travel company, for a wellness coach and more.
While I absolutely loved designing campaigns, social media posts, and branding material for these companies, I craved expanding my design skills even further. I knew that I always wanted to explore website, app, and graphic design. I went back to school and received my master’s certification in user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design. Ever since then, I have fulfilled my dream of being a designer. My unique background in design and social media/marketing adds value to the marketing teams. I communicate how the UX research helps target the right audience at the right time and the right place, with the right story. My knack for eye catching materials is now enhanced further by having intention, thus creating more of an impact.
In addition to going back to school for UX/UI design, I also attended the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I graduated and became a licensed Health Coach. My journey in expanding my design skills has often times been parallel to my journey in expanding my health and wellness knowledge. I am hard working, very self motivated, I have always have had a hunger to learn more (pun intended).
