Yo, I'm Jade!

Originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, I'm a designer and illustrator currently studying Art and Japanese at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). 🔱

I also dabble in Product Marketing from time to time.

I'm a vibrantly creative undergrad passionate about gaming, esports, and technology. 🎮 I’m heavily progress driven and I like to explore new things while also improving on old skills.

"Jade's ability to quickly grasp new concepts and seamlessly integrate into diverse team environments makes her indispensable to any team she's on, I can't recommend her highly enough."

"I enjoyed working with Jade because of her professionalism in business and knowledge in ZOWIE."

"Jade has been an absolute pleasure to work under at UCSD Esports. While overseeing nine teams (with the recent addition of the Apex Legends Esports team thanks to her contributions!) in one of the largest collegiate Esports programs in the nation, her enthusiasm for the space is boundless, and she never fails to bring forth innovative ideas to better the program."

"When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don’t have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running. And a system can be successful in many different forms, not just the one you first envision."

“Alignment. Is. Key.”

“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”
