Hi! I’m Cory.
As a Bay Area native, I was inspired to pursue design from growing up in a family-owned business that sold home decorating items, in addition to family members that just happened to be problem solving engineers as well.
I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Academy of Art University’s school of Fashion, in Visual Merchandising. I used my Visual Merchandising skills towards my first job as a Junior/Associate Art Director.
I have a Master’s Degree of Academy of Art University’s school of Interaction & UI/UX Design. I'm currently looking to explore new opportunities as a UI/UX Designer, Product Designer, UX Designer, and Visual Designer, among many additional others. You can view my portfolio from Academy of Art University here.
I currently work as a product designer at Code of San Francisco. In addition, I also work in healthcare in an assisted living/home care/hospice facility. Despite the varying fields, I additionally work as a freelance UX Product Designer.
I currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I enjoy designing, hanging out with friends & family, physical & mental fitness, traveling, photography, creating moodboards, & cooking among many. I’m also a self-confessed Disney lover!
