The Upgrade

The Upgrade: From Hospitality to IT & Design After 18 years in high-volume customer service, I’m documenting my pivot into the IT world. Join me every week for a "short" recap on my journey through IT Support, UI/UX Design (Framer/Webflow), and real-world problem-solving. No fluff, just the evolution of a career upgrade at 38.
