Hello! I'm Jorell Padilla, born and raised in Texas. My journey began when I first attended a digital media class in high school, diving into the world of Photoshop. Over the years, I have crafted visuals across various mediums, dedicating myself to developing accessible and seamless products. I am now working at American Express, building risk management platforms that improve compliance and analytics across the company.

I recently attended the University of Houston, majoring in Computer Science, graduating in December 2024. Through my time there, I’ve helped my friends in the creation of a startup dedicated to helping people pass the resume screen called Resumes.fyi, I worked twice at PwC as a Product Design Intern and a Product Development Intern, where I contributed to various projects, designing, researching, and developing solutions for pain points clients face, and finally, I led the rebranding of the largest Computer Science club as Vice President of Marketing at the University of Houston called CougarCS, creating a polished identity that helped revive the organization.

Professionalism aside, I love cooking, playing RPG’s like Pokémon, Undertale, and Mother 3 👾, going through 30 topics at night with friends, going on road trips, shopping at Target, and listening to Minecraft music.
