About Liz

Thank you for visiting my online portfolio. I am an undergraduate student pursuing my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in New Media at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California. After I finish my studies, I would like to bridge the gap between people and technology through thoughtful design.

I believe there are many solutions to a problem, along with many ways to phrase problems. Before returning to school, I had spent the last decade or so helping people with broken things like servers and software before I realized that it would be better to help people before things were broken, through design and usability.
