I appreciate a good list
It all began with a pirated copy of Photoshop in high school
Two years at the local vo-tech, running actual printing presses
Then Oklahoma State for my BFA, special interest: the history and marketing behind design
After graduation I packed my most precious belongings (cat) into a VW Beetle and drove to San Francisco
Quick job at Apple
Then the iPhone launched, and I jumped to a startup building iPhone apps
That startup merged with a Facebook App startup in Seattle
Move to Seattle
Get involved with South Lake Union's Art Walk
Then I designed at Amazon
When COVID hit, I taught Production 101 at PNCA on Zoom
Now I am a full-time freelancer
