i’m tor.. victoria if we’re being formal, tori if you’re soft about it. or just "t,” but never never vicky... please god, noooo.i design things that feel good to use n right now that means running media seed, where I'm gamifying the way we learn UX + AI. (ux/ui walked so ux/ai could run.)i’m building a new path through design and automation: teaching people how to truly think for themselves. n we’re not following trends.. we’re building from clarity.i’m not here to posture. i’m here to be real about where i came from, and that you can rebuild from anything. i’ve done it. multiple times. and now that we’ve got ai in the mix? there’s no excuse to stay stuck. we’ve got tools n also access.. now what r u gonna do with it?before all this, i was almost to nursing school, but once i got inside the hospital - really inside, working every department - it was pretty unsettling. the way things were run… oncology patients drinking coke for breakfast, nurses drugging patients they didn't want to deal with, etc. I wanted no part.. still, I loved that I could show up as the real me: fully present, nurturing, giving 110%. but that system? mannnn, not built to heal. I call it sickcare! even though i cared deeply, i couldn’t stay complicit..lets move on -i’ve hustled door-to-door doing b2b sales, taught dance since 2011, and worked the revenue ops side of healthcare: negotiating n making sure doctors + facilities actually got paid.. at their full allowable. clinical and revenue. i’ve seen how systems work from both ends. that’s probably why i question all of them now.i’ve done marketing n accounting for lawyers too, but nothing glamorous ok? pretty deep in the weeds figuring out how to marry their old systems with up to date tech.. fixing what was broken (or just prehistoric). learning as i went. that’s kinda been the theme. yfm?from sickcare to sales, then small law firms.. (n a little dance <3 + shooting <3 in between) i’ve always found myself inside broken systems. not judging them. just taking lots of notes, throwing in sum uxr (user exp. research) n then trying to rebuild it all.. lol soooo its 2025... n now i do it with ai. i call it creative problem solving, and this skill is quite useful. across any and every industry.but really tho, i’ve been creating since before i knew it was a “career.” or really a lifestyle in my book..learned how to dance from youtube back in 2007 - beyoncé was my teacher fr.picked up a camera in 2015. shot videos, took photos, did the whole la thing. danced in music videos. filmed sza + her mom. all self-taught, all heart. it was cool. i can say that i did that n yeah it was cool, but la and the culture depleted my vitality and i lost myself. the energy was constant, but it wasn’t connected. I saw thru the fronting.so i came home - first monterey, seaside, salinas. 831now i’m out near yosemite, working on a farm while i build all this. real slow living. picking herbs n feeding goats n getting dirty. (lemme say it again.. you feeeel me?)not forever. just long enough to reset all noise and energy that wore me down. and honestly? i’ve wanted to do this (work on organic farms, live closer to the earth) for over ten years. a true blessing.now lets talk about seedpay. a dream from 2021 that is now me: cracking open the world of international private banking. sum quiet, strategic freedom most people don’t even know exists. private lifestyle baybeeeeee.. i’m still building it, but the foundation is simple: never letting a system tell you what you can and cannot access.when i’m not working, i’m walking sam (my 16y.o. lil old man of a dog), dodging coralina’s chaos (my cat with the personality of a scorpio), or dreaming up new ways to blend art, tech, and truth.i’ve always been better at building than pretending. so that’s what i do.build dat soft power, from the ground up. n share the blueprint as i go.
