Hi, I'm Loraine
I'm a data-obsessed spreadsheet enthusiast and accounting nerd.
I love organizing complex information into clean and functional systems.
(This explains why I love accounting principles!)
​
Previously my career, this superpower has been used to design informative illustrations and data-driven stories.
​
I am currently working on a major pivot to the field of business analysis, with a focus on data and finance.
