What moving 3,000 miles away taught me about my life and career
During the pandemic, everyone faced their own challenges, and I was no exception. It became clear to me that I needed to make a change. Over the last few years, I moved from California to Alaska, navigating difficulties with my job, family, and friends. Fast forward a bit, and I found myself rebooting my career, starting a family, and eventually moving back to California. The journey was a whirlwind, but it taught me so much, both professionally and personally, that I'd like to share with you during this talk.
I am a multidisciplinary design lead creating digital products for over a decade. I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with impactful organizations including Apple, Meta, LinkedIn, Huawei, and Google. My ultimate goal for every challenge is to deliver human value through intuitive, beautiful design. Outside of design, I have an outdoor photography and mental health advocacy background bi-locating between California and Alaska.
