Reinvention is a necessity for longevity. The 11 years spent as a designer, as well as the years spent in school, have been an extended exercise in reimagining myself at each company I’ve been employed as well as each role.

During this talk, I’d like to share lessons I’ve learned, insights gained, and patterns recognized, which you can take and leverage for yourself.
