I'M MICKI
That's me!
HI THERE,
ABOUT ME
I am a graduate of Arizona State University, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Design and Engineering and a minor in Biological Sciences. With 3.5 years of professional experience, my work combines technical expertise with a passion for design, aiming to create meaningful and captivating experiences for all users. As a first-generation graduate and a young business owner, my dedication to storytelling through design shines throughout all my professional work.
Design allows us to communicate visually, transcending language barriers and cultural divides. Through my work, I strive to speak the language of storytelling, inviting users into a world where innovation and enchantment coexist.
