When I first started designing I went to many design events and networking opportunities in SF. Despite making some great connections, it was challenging for me to find seasoned design leaders who are women of color.
As a result, I had to learn things the hard way. I did not negotiate my salary early in my career. I did not persist or ask for things I wanted, whether it was a promotion, a green card sponsorship, or an intern. The feedback I received was I was doing good work but it was not visible enough, and that I needed to work on my confidence and communication. When I shared my career struggles, I found other women and people of color resonate with my experience. It ignited the fire within me to make a difference for the community that I care for.
Whether you want to work together, have me speak at your event, or just say hello — I'd love to hear from you.
