Can’t wait for summer. It will be all about gains, beading and chilling in the garden my husband created 🥰☺️ . I will be having a booth at the WWU Powow on May 10 to sell my jewelry and launch my merch and stickers 👏🙌

Photo dump 😊 of some of my spring break. I’ve grown an obsession with pop mart 🤓. As in this is a quarter of what I have now 😭 from pop mart. Picture of Trish is her waiting to lick the shower after Dane gets out. If the bathroom is closed she cries to get in and patiently waits on her perch.

2024 was my year of really pushing towards my fitness goals! Thelast photo is from October 2023 and the first is today. There’s a 20-pound difference between these images, but I’ve gained so much muscle 💪 and am leaner than I was even at 10 pounds lighter than my current weight. I can’t believe how much progress I made in just a year—and I never thought I’d actually grow glutes like this! This is all from just keep going and not giving up after a bad week. #glutegains #glutegrowth #fitnessjourney #beforeandafter

I just finished these beautiful beaded earrings for myself featuring a center cab with a preserved cedar branch and porcupine quill. 🌿✨Each piece I make is inspired by the land and crafted with love to honor of the natural world around us..

I went on a hike near Deception Pass, gathering more native plants from Washington to preserve and incorporate into future designs. I can’t wait to share more designs with you soon! 💚

I have always wanted to do Muay Thai since I saw a match in Thailand so I just started 😤. I honestly love it as a cardio before I start weight lifting. #gymgirls #kickboxing #gymgirlies #gymcontent

As someone with a chronic illness, getting into fitness has been so hard. This time I am focusing on how fitness makes me feel rather than losing weight. Since making these changes I have become the most consistent with fitness than I have ever been. #fitnessjourney #chronicillness #calisthenics #fitgirls

I haven’t really given a public update on how I’m doing outside the Navy yet so here it is 😋. I started TikTok at the beginning of this year and it led me to getting an opportunity to work for an AI video editing startup. I now make 6 figures 🥳😬 and absolutely love my job as a UX designer.

I want to thank everybody who cheered me on to pursuing my dreams 😋😬❤️ if anyone wants to know how they can be a UX designer just send me a message.

Believe it or not but UX design saves time and money by focusing on the right things to design. The purpose of research is to find what to focus on by knowing what your users want and need. Blindly just designing a product can waste you time and money.

So I always love making mock-ups. I believe it was one of my favorite things in college.

This is the best and free way of creating mock-ups in Figma.
I’ll be posting so much more!

As someone who who has social anxieties, I want to make it better than contacting strangers on the internet. Not everyone has a network built up from their previous jobs. So someday I hope to make it more natural 😊
