What I’m About

hi, I’m Roxanne

Yes, it’s ok to sing my name. I love it. To sum me up I like to create and be helpful. I am an endless student, who just loves learning and trying new things.

I enjoy bringing other people's vision's and stories to life. I use my talents to make products and services with a positive societal impact. I love to work with others, and I’m truly happiest when I’m collaborating.

Introduction

I am Roxanne—a multi-disciplinary creative technologist, a weaver of pixels and code, and a seeker of stories. My journey has been a symphony of resilience, empathy, and unwavering determination. Let me invite you into the tapestry of my life—a canvas where colors blend, scars transform into strength, and creativity dances with purpose.

Surviving Shadows, Forging Resilience

Born into a life shadowed by challenges, I learned early on that survival required more than mere existence. I learned to mask emotions and to navigate a world where support came with conditions. This sentiment, eerily echoed in the corporate realm, perpetuates harm. But adversity also gifted me resilience—the kind that fuels my creative fire.

Legacy, Consciousness, and Bridges

My mother’s journey—a mix of Mexican and Native American heritage—shaped my consciousness. She faced racism, hardship, and systemic barriers. Her experiences, discounted by others, fueled my determination. I bridged the gap between her reality and others' perceptions, advocating for silenced narratives.

Pixels, Code, and Alchemy

Art became my mirror and window. Through creation, I connect, express, and discover. As a self-taught artist, I donate my work to nonprofits, friends, and family—a deliberate act of intention. Professionally, I’ve worn many hats—video editor, graphic designer, software developer, product designer. Mentorships, EDx, and on-the-job problem-solving shaped my path. Blending technology, art, and UX, I create innovative experiences.

Community, Learning, and Purpose

Championing dreams—whether through advocacy or collaborative efforts—is my heartbeat. I thrive in teams that uplift others. Nurturing long-term growth—slow, deliberate, like roots digging deeper—holds magic. Volunteering at various nonprofits has opened my eyes to systemic challenges. I donate my skills and time to help institutions serving my community. Passion is contagious; I catch fire from others’ enthusiasm. Learning and helping are intertwined—two forces that propel me forward.
