👋🏽 hello, I’m Sym!
I'm a Design Manager at Acquia based in Boston, MA (Go Celtics! ☘️).
Prior to managing a team of designers, I led the design of some really rad projects including: digitised public spaces to foster social connectivity and a CRM platform for financial advisors, to name a few. I am also the co-founder of an app-based startup called Wippit, which was incubated at Harvard i-Labs.
🇦🇺🦘I’m a proud Aussie, though I spent much of my childhood living in Hong Kong and the USA.
On weekends you can find me hiking, camping and out-fishing my husband (not that we’re keeping a tally or anything…!)
