I’ve been working in design for over a decade and in technology for 8+ years. I was honored as one of 50 Rising Female Leaders in Technology by Sequoia Capitol as a part of their Inaugural Ascent Program (2016-2017), have spoken at several major publishing conferences (IDPF and Ebookcraft’s Techforum), and my experience receiving Master’s in Digital Design (publishing) has been published in the Journal of Electronic Publishing. I am also the author of six children’s STEM-oriented Earth-friendly Craft books.
