Cultivating Community
I'm forever grateful for the opportunity to share my thoughts on "Designing for Delight" at several events for Meta Reality Labs.
"Rebecca was our resident expert in designing for delight and a strong advocate for creating fun, playful experiences. She gave multiple lightning talks and presentations about these themes throughout our time together, each one incredibly inspiring, engaging, and even...fun!"
Based on my passion for play, I was featured in a southern California magazine as a Mattel copywriter.
"Working with Rebecca at Mattel was always enjoyable and interesting. Her passion for kids and designing what was best for them was infectious. As a team, we sought out the most relevant themes and applicable play patterns for preschoolers that not only focused on fun, but would be developmentally beneficial as well. Rebecca's attention to detail and drive to create the best possible products made working together so gratifying."
For the Global Children's Organization (GCO), I was proud to serve as a Board member and peace camp counselor in Croatia and in N. Ireland. My story was featured in the travel book "Europe from a Backpack."
"I was a Board Member with Rebecca at GCO and she is a motivating force behind everything she is involved in. Rebecca is easy to work with - she is a collaborator and a leader - and always comes to the table prepared and ready to work."
I was honored to be invited to become a blogger on HuffPost. One of my favorite features was "7 Tips to Make Family Mealtime Fun."
1) Play with Your Food
2) Divide & Conquer
3) Foster "Picky" Eaters
4) Show Them What Healthy Looks Like
5) Freeze!
6) Get Smoothie With It
7) Eat Extraordinarily
Wanting to give back to the community, I was honored to be a speaker at the Swing Shift Career Catalyst program in Seattle. Designed for women in career transition, I presented ways to up-level marketing materials and use digital tips and tricks to be found, valued, and remembered.
"Rebecca was recently a guest speaker for one of The Swing Shift's professional development programs. She was engaging, thoughtful and really connected with the room. We would definitely recommend her as a speaker for other organizations and events."
