Hello, My Name is Josie
As a former collegiate soccer athlete, Josie thrives on a challenge. The challenge of designing products, especially those intended for a wide, international audience is especially thrilling. Her experiences living in Guatemala, viewing first hand the opportunities created by education and innovation have given her an internal drive to help others through creative and powerful design.
Born and raised in Layton, Utah, Josie was taught at a young age to value education. She has always loved design and knew that she wanted to grow up to work in technology. After attending Brigham Young University Idaho and receiving her Bachelor's degree in Web Design and Development, she found her calling of being a Product Designer.
Passionate about problem-solving and user-focused designs, Josie strives to improve day to day, hoping to make the world a better place through empathetic and innovative design.
In her free time, Josie loves playing soccer, pickleball, spikeball, and many other sports. She is adventurous and loves hiking and spending time in the outdoors; fishing, biking, going on runs, snowboarding, and hammocking.
