Five Things About Daisy

  1. I’m a recent grad from Chapman University (class of 2025 woohoo!)
  2. I graduated from Chapman University in the Spring of 2025. I received my Bachelors of Science in Software Engineering and had an minor in Peace and Justice Studies.
  3. I'm a creative technologist
  4. I used to feel very torn between my curiosity for tech and my love for creativity and art going into school. I had started to feel like I was out of my depth- and then I began to program creatively. Developing for fun rekindled my love for developing, designing, and doodling, and allowed me to embrace my initial curiosity for tech to create for delight.
  5. I am a big nerd.
  6. When I'm not working, you can find me reading manga, drawing, skating, trying to be rockstar-level good at guitar (I can't play bar chords, but I have hope), or playing city planner / farmer / licensed contractor / demolition expert in my Minecraft world.
  7. I can design
  8. And when I am working, you can find me nose deep in a design sketch
  9. I am happy to meet you!
  10. Its nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by!
