After college, I moved to Guatemala where I interned with an ethical fashion brand, Hiptipico. The bulk of their revenue was driven by their Instagram. It was quite an experience to see how a social team runs! At Hiptipico, I designed a series of Instagram story highlights, marketing emails, took product photos, and took photos on sourcing tours.
After my time in Guatemala, I was thrilled to find a position with a fair trade wholesaler where I could remain connected to Latin America. I never could've guessed how much opportunity my time here could hold. I've worked on engaging projects across disciplines, from web design to photoshoots in South America to designing print catalogs and everything in between.
I've invested heavily in my education, earning a Bachelor of Arts from University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, and an Associate of Arts from Madison Area Technical College. Studying design under the amazingly talented faculty at MATC has transformed not only my skills, but the way I look at the world around me. I gratefully bring these lessons in noticing and connecting everywhere I go.
