In 2013, I graduated with a BFA and took my first job as a Junior Graphic Designer at a small, boutique ad agency.

I ignored his warning; it turns out he was completely right, but I've never been happier.

I currently work as a developer advocate on a wonderful team where I help people build web applications in React, design and maintain their UI component libraries, and desperately attempt to stop back-end devs from writing any more CSS.
