GEN PUG
I'm Genevieve Puglissi, hailing from Queens, NY and a gal who likes to keep it moving—an odd jobs of life specialist. When I'm not inline skating, surfing, or learning a martial art, I love to focus on problems in digital products, branding, or motion that require a unique and dense approach!

I started with a love for fine arts and the animation process. Sketching, painting, and sculpting are all passions of mine. But once I was introduced to the world of visual problem solving, I was hooked!

Although I still create in the arts in my free time, I have developed a knack for the UX/UI end to end experience, creative strategy, and motion design process.
