About Andrea Carpenter

Founder at Purposefully Curated

I call myself a Curator of Purposeful Experiences because I bring people, data, and ideas together to boldly improve the world for communities in need. I do this by working at the intersection of being a designer, strategist, facilitator, and connector.

With a degree in graphic design and experience at an advertising agency as a Digital Art Director, my passion combines a background in visual design with user-centered creative thinking. I have experience in the healthcare, sustainability, and tourism spaces.

In my spare time, I hang with my husband and our dog, enjoying hiking, skiing, and biking around Colorado.

I might be a great mentor for you if: You're a young designer who would like a portfolio or resume review | You live in or are interested in the Colorado / Denver design + advertising scene | You’re passionate about design, but just having trouble getting that first job | You’d like some tips on networking | You’re a graphic designer transitioning into a digital / UX role | You’re trying to figure out the differences in types of UX roles
