Creative Startups drives the creative economy and creative entrepreneurs worldwide, including licensing accelerators in the United States, Middle East, and Asia, along with strategic initiatives to develop the broader entrepreneur ecosystem via pre-accelerator programs, workshops, training, and seminars.
I’ve served them as a creative business mentor, during the accelerator program week in Albuquerque, NM in 2015 and 2017.

MY INVOLVEMENT
Alongside the project manager, I developed the user experience for the platform. After client interviews, I created the complete wireframe set, planned technical feasibility with the development team, evolved the UX through client meetings, sourced the Bootstrap theme to speed development, and designed UI updates to said theme. Once the design was complete, I co-managed the technical development and product launch.
