Welcome to our Season 2 Premiere! My guest is avid surfer and children's book author Chelsea Keaulani Brown (YouTube, Looker). 

In this episode, I ask Chelsea how she built a bridge into UX Research from her original career trajectory in athletics and sports media.

-Chelsea describes her journey into startups with Looker and Gametime. 

-By building Pillars like Well-Placed Mentors and Novel Projects, Chelsea became Credible, Capable and Visible in her space. 

Chelsea's career progression paralleled a personal growth journey. Having surfed in Santa Cruz with the Looker team, she set an intention to surf Pacific Islands and learn from local people in a different part of the world.

This learning and reflection culminated in a beautiful illustrated book speaking to her younger self:
