I got my start designing in a pretty unlikely place - music school (Berklee College of Music). There was a hackathon focused on, at the time, rising popularity in music streaming.
It was hosted by a newly minted Head of Innovation who believed that musical minds were ripe for building products; An alumni having founded and exited his own company, Sonicbids. In 6 hours a colleague and I designed a product and that enabled artists to drop "collectibles" at live shows. The process of going from idea to something functional was new, but motivating.
I've gone on to design conversion optimized creative for DTC Brands, and am now helping impactful companies looking to transform their customers lives.
