I have a background in design, 2D game art, illustration and technical art. I have had multiple roles in an Ecommerce setting with website management and design. In my role as a game artist my responsibilities included making 2D art assets, launching in-game content, handling technical graphic issues, training illustrators and creating work flow and style guides. I participated in 48 hour game jams in my free time which taught me about scope, brainstorming and what can be done in a short time with enough caffeine.

At the multiple Ecommerce companies I worked at, I was often the only designer where I did everything and anything needed including email marketing and social media campaigns, banner ads with animation, photography with retouching, video product tutorials, product landing pages and branding guidelines.

More recently I have spent time watching my children grow, learning about life through caretaking, reading and exploring more ways to create (such as folk crafts, paper mache, ceramics, weaving, as well as completing a college certificate in textiles design). This lead to more interest in how humans interact and develop and its influence and how we interact with technology now.
