Hey, I'm Jose Murillo 👋
I’m a Digital Marketing & Service Design Coordinator at Children Now, dedicated to exploring how design, policy, and technology can shape equitable and humane futures. As a design generalist with a knack for big-picture thinking, I’m fascinated by human ingenuity and deeply committed to the well-being of individuals, society, and the natural world. My goal is to create experiences that promote thriving.
My journey into design has not been straightforward. I spent over 10 years as a barista, worked as a client success specialist in the financial tech industry, and gained branding experience through freelance graphic design. While working, I attended community college, delving into psychology, media studies, computer science, and cognitive science before transferring to UC Davis to study design, where I graduated in September 2021.
Outside of design, I enjoy running, connecting through music, playing strategy card games, and diving into historical and philosophical rabbit holes.
