From Tattooer to Product Designer - My Path to Purposeful Design

🎨 Creative Roots

My path to Product Design wasn’t linear, but it’s always been about creating meaningful things for real people. I spent 13 years as a tattoo artist, working closely with people to bring their stories to life through design. It taught me a lot about empathy, trust, and crafting with care.

💡 Building While Parenting

During my time as a full-time parent, I still needed a creative outlet, so I built multiple successful online stores selling digital products I designed myself. These projects helped me stay connected to design while sharpening real-world skills in UX, visual design, marketing, and customer experience. It was my way of staying creative, curious, and continuing to grow even when I wasn’t in a traditional job.

🚀 Returning With Purpose

Now, I’m returning to the design world with fresh perspective, a strong foundation in user-centered thinking, and a deep appreciation for purposeful, inclusive design. I’m excited about roles where I can keep growing, collaborate with thoughtful teams, and contribute to building tools that genuinely help people.

Let’s connect! I’m open to collaborations, freelance work, or full-time opportunities.
