I’ve never been very picky when it comes to choosing a path for my future. As long as I am surrounded by peers who inspire me I know I will feel fulfilled no matter where I end up. I feel really grateful for the community of brilliant and compassionate designers in this senior class who have pushed me to learn and explore to the best of my abilities. My most exciting work has been through freelancing where I’ve honed my skills in empathetic design, research, and building relationships with clients. My co-op this past summer was also an incredible opportunity, despite it being remote due to Covid-19. I joined CS Studio, a global design team that creates work for Contentsquare offices in Paris, London, NYC, and Tel Aviv. It was an amazing opportunity that challenged me in many ways as I navigated communication across the world while learning new design techniques focused on branding, illustration, and animation. Today I am working as a product designer and animator for Apply Stickers in NYC. You can view my recent work for the Apply team at ApplyStickers.com.
