About me
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 currently a senior at the University of Houston, majoring in Computer Science, expected to graduate in December 2024. Through my time here, I’ve helped my friends in the creation of a startup dedicated to helping students 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 video games, playing RPG’s like Pokémon, Undertale, and Mother 3 👾, chatting with friends at night, going on road trips, shopping at Target, and listening to Minecraft music.
I'm currently seeking new grad roles in Product Design for 2025!
