I began my career as a visual designer at Microsoft in the late 1990s, working on a contract basis. Later, in 2001, I joined Expedia's product design team, where I created compelling user interfaces for the luxury travel team. In mid-2010, I took a break from technology to raise our three kids (now teenagers.) While at home, I started a blog, which I monetized while raising my family. I learned to work with creative agencies to promote products aligned with my blog's brand.
