Aura GlitchCreative Technologist // Artist // Designer
Dec. 2020Los Angeles Metropolitan AreaFrom a young age, I was fascinated by how things worked—spending Saturdays dismantling cordless phones, captivated by the wires, transistors, and circuits. While I never quite reassembled them, the process sparked a lifelong passion for problem-solving. At 12 years old, my dad handed me the HTML 1.0 Spec, a moment that shaped my future. By 16, I launched my first web design company, Finishing Touch Web Design, with my mom as my co-founder since I was still a minor. My first website was far from perfect—lacking design and flow—but my first paid project for a gym in Temecula, CA, gave me a taste of entrepreneurship and real-world application. During high school, I honed my design skills in Graphic Design class, collaborating with classmates to create an early version of Google Street View using a 35mm digital camera and Apple QuickTime VR Studio to develop a virtual tour of our campus. By my junior year, I set my sights on working with the F-22 Raptor after learning about its integration into the USAF fleet. While my path led me instead to working on its predecessor, the F-15E, it was a defining experience. While serving in the U.S. Air Force, I continued designing websites and graphics for businesses on the side, blending my technical skills with creativity. After my service, I returned to California and worked at Lost Canyons Golf Course in Outside Services, where I perfected customer service, frequently interacting with celebrities and affluent members. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to build products, solve complex problems, and identify the right technologies to drive meaningful impact. What drives me? Crafting solutions to tough challenges that strengthen businesses—combining intuition, technology, and strategic thinking to create lasting value.
