A bit about me… • Lived without my parents since I was 13 • I co-founded a 501c3 animal rescue group in 2003 • I launched Mowie Media in 2006. • Organizer with Innovate Pasadena & Steering
Committee with Techsparks for entrepreneurs • Currently writing a book titled “UX Your Life”
Not to brag, but I worked remotely in St Maarten, Toronto, Montreal, Bali, Hong Kong, San Diego and here, Los Angeles in 2015 alone. I
designed my life to be this way.
But… I was diagnosed with Complex-PTSD in July 2015. Life has not been easy.
If I can UX my life and be successful, so can you!
