I’m Bettsina, I strive to create products that inspire and have a positive impact in the world and people’s lives.
I was born and raised in Mexico, moved to Canada for grad school, and stayed for 12 years. These days, I live in the UK.
My path into design has been anything but linear: I’ve explored everything from visual arts and animation to product design and entrepreneurship.
I originally dreamed of becoming a character animator after watching Toy Story as a kid, and I’ve since studied animation with mentors from Pixar and Riot Games. These days, I channel that passion into UI animation and motion design. A few years ago I created a Skillshare class to share what I’ve learned along the way.
Beyond work, I’m deeply into music, I play piano and dabble in electronic music. I took lessons at the VSO School of Music and had the opportunity to play in a school concert directed by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra conductor at the Orpheum theatre in Vancouver.
I also spent a good chunk of time as a digital nomad, although these days I’m a bit more grounded, and my adventures often take place in World of Warcraft.
