•Be CCO of a startup that creates a positive legacy in society(work in progress)
•Giveback: create and share a FREE masterclass for those interested in the UX industry, but have trouble getting their foot in the door, due to the co$tly nature of traditional higher education(work in progress)
•Sit by the ocean, sipping on Piña coladas 😎
