Hi, I’m Marilyn. Happy you’re here!
Growing up, I’ve always loved the idea of creating. In high school, this manifested in Yarn Barn & Friends, where I handmade crocheted keychains and donated a knitted square to Warm Up America for every keychain sold.
Today, I foster this creativity through crafting thoughtful solutions to problems that prioritize users’ needs and help strengthen communities. The ability to design a product that makes peoples’ lives just a little easier and fruitful inspires me to continue to hone in on my craft.
I recently graduated from UC San Diego with a B.S. in Cognitive Science with a Specialization in Design & Interaction. During my time there, I found Product Space, a supportive and genuine community that helped kickstart my journey as a designer. Wanting to give back, I returned as President, where I helped make product more accessible to the next generation of product managers, designers, and marketers.
