No 1 Bio
Maker from Dallas, now based in Los Angeles
Hey y'all, I'm Isabella! I'm interested in all sorts of things, but here you'll mostly find my work in product design, graphics, marketing, and business management (I also like hockey, Renaissance art, and red wines). I am currently a student at the University of Southern California's Iovine and Andre Young Academy pursuing a major in "Arts, Technology, and the Business of Innovation" and a minor in Business Finance. I thrive on chaos and love a genuine challenge.
No 2 Ethics
I believe that the future of successful innovation lies in being expectedly unexpected.
Recently I've been learning about human centered design-- specifically how everyone is the protagonist of their own story and how products are simply tools along that journey. When I design, I strive to create something that solves an unrealized problem in an intuitive and adoptable way. I want my brand to be recognizable for its seamless efficency between form and function and always offer a new solution to a legitimate need.
