Brooke's passion for design began over two decades ago when a huge Gateway computer ignited her curiosity about technology. From customizing MySpace templates and experimenting with Xanga code to winning graphic design awards in high school, her journey into design was shaped by creativity and a love for problem solving. After studying IT at Old Dominion University, Brooke transitioned from a college internship into her first design role, cementing her path as a designer.
Over the years, she has designed for renowned companies like Philips Healthcare, Capital One, and National Geographic, while finding her most fulfilling moments in giving back. Whether mentoring aspiring tech professionals or inspiring young girls interested in technology, Brooke is deeply committed to fostering growth within local communities.
When she's not designing, she enjoys walking her Frenchie puppy, dancing in the kitchen with friends, or tending to her garden.
