How sailing as a teenager prepared me for a career in tech and gaming

Quick Summary:

I eventually stopped sailing three years later in 2012 after many more international regattas due to my commitment to pursuing my career instead.

My design-mindedness impacts everything from understanding my community when streaming on Twitch to the player experience when I host tournaments online to providing feedback after attending gaming initiatives that I get invited to participate in.

After returning from university in the US in 2017, I worked for a tech firm for a short while before taking a leap of faith and completing a three-month UX Design Bootcamp with General Assembly.
