My design journey started back in 2019 when I was in high school, volunteering to design infographics for youth nonprofits in New York City.

At the time, I thought my dream was helping people through law or backend development, so I signed up for NYC-wide hackathons and criminal justice classes, thinking I might pursue those careers. After dipping my toes outside my comfort zone a little more across multiple odd jobs, I'd go onto college, officially change my major, stay in it, and absolutely fall back in love with design.
